Media player
What is the best practice dealing with media content – audio, video clips, and playlists – by Textpattern? Should I upgrade to HTML5, downgrade to some flash player? The issue arose when cfm_videoplayer v0.2.10 stopped working after Textpattern upgrade to v4.4.0.

How did your old setup work? I’m not familiar with the plugin. I don’t understand if you’re looking for a replacement for the capabilities of the plugin, or a recommendation for a media streaming technology.

Worked perfectly.

cfm_videoplayer is a plugin of Longtail Video JW Player for Textpattern.

The plugin looks abandoned, leaving media assets mostly inaccessible on a website. So I am looking for another solution adapting the same TxP custom field ‘Audio/video ID or URL:’ for not HTML-savvy publishers, too.

Re: Media player
Thought I might revive this thread as someone has just asked me to add audio files to their Txp site. Any suggestions?

Re: Media player
jnm_audio is working fine in 4.4.0. If you want to use a custom field, you can do something like this:
<txp:if_custom_field name="file_id">
<txp:jnm_audio fileid='<txp:custom_field name="file_id" />' />
</txp:if_custom_field>You only need to put the audio file’s id in the custom field.
