Re: an7_mov

So I’ve spent the last two days trying to figure out this thing; I thought I had it last night when everything worked on my local server, but when it came to try it on my test server it did not work, or it did for one media file and not another.

I am using the mediabox advanced with an7_movbox and I would love for someone to have a look at my code.

Am I right in saying that I have to have lowercase names for all mp4’s in mediabox adv?

Also, the code is outputting the mp4’s url not the thumbnail image, so it loads each entire film on the page on page load, which it shouldn’t.

I know, rather I’m pretty sure, that I am very nearly there. I need help please guys.

My test site is online at http://linkline.martineau.tv/lighting-cameramen

Re: an7_mov

There’s a good possibility you were encountering problems with .mp4 support, since in older versions of an7_movbox / an7_videobox, the image link setup was pretty limited. Also, for some reason strings were being converted to lowercase… for absolutely no reason. Not sure how that happened, but it’s all fixed now!

Version 0.4.4 is posted online. I also got the IE flash embed support fixed, though the plugin still needs SWFobject 1.5 (as opposed to SWFobject 2.1). Ultimately, these tags are pretty aged… I’ve begun preliminary work on a new plugin for better integration with mediaboxAdvanced and more media types.

Re: an7_mov

Hi I’m trying to troubleshoot flv play back using an7_flv and noverblaster.
My outputted html looks ok:

<div id=“http://cosanglas.com/media/L_08_p1” class=”$class”></div><script type=“text/javascript” defer=“defer”> var swfo = new SWFObject(‘http://cosanglas.com/js/mediaplayer.swf’, ‘an7_video’, ‘480’, ‘290’, ‘8’ ); swfo.addParam(‘allowfullscreen’,‘true’); swfo.addVariable(‘displayheight’,‘270’); swfo.addVariable(‘file’,‘http://cosanglas.com/media/L_08_p1.flv’); swfo.addVariable(‘height’,‘290’); swfo.addVariable(‘image’,‘http://cosanglas.com/media/L_08_p1.jpg’); swfo.addVariable(‘autostart’, ‘false’); swfo.addVariable(‘repeat’, ‘false’); swfo.addVariable(‘backcolor’, ‘0xFFFFFF’); swfo.addVariable(‘frontcolor’, ’0×000000’); swfo.addVariable(‘lightcolor’, ’0×000000’); swfo.addVariable(‘showdigits’, ‘true’); swfo.addVariable(‘volume’, ‘80’); swfo.write(‘http://cosanglas.com/media/L_08_p1’); </script>

but the path to the flv seems to be broken

http://cosanglas.com/Video/

I was getting a double path to the directory like this

swfo.addVariable(‘image’,‘http://cosanglas.com/media/media/L_08_p1.jpg’);

so i just took out the dir attribute.
not sure what to check any advice appreciated thanks for the plugin.
