Videos on your blog

[globofun]

I'm trying to add videos on my blog, and it doesn't work....

What are you using?

I tried the FV Wordpress Flowplayer plugin......and the videos do not play!

[NaughtyRob]

Try another plugin, there are TONS.

[Denny]

Wordtube + JW Player

[st0ned]

I tend to use pro player quite a bit.

[fris]

jw flash player is probably best

[barcodes]

Flash Video Player with HTML5

[videoplayer file="http://www.url.com/filename" /]

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Been playing with Hanna flv player lately, It uses these three players "Flowplayer(version 2 and 3), OS FLV player, FLV Player Maxi" can also customize it, liking it so far.

KVS Player is the best. The Kernel Player is a most powerful player I ever know (Jw and Flow suck a long way) and it's 100% free even for commercial usage.

Display functionality:

• MP4 and FLV streaming support.
• You can select one of 3 scaling methods: keep source video proportions, ignore source video proportions and crop video to fit into player.
• You can set up your custom logo (jpeg, gif, png), its position and click URL.
• You can configure timeline screenshots to be displayed when the mouse is over the player timeline, so that user can easily scroll to the desired part of video.
• You can configure buffer interval.
• You can limit video watching time.
• You can configure the preview image to be displayed before a video is started.
• Autoplay mode is supported.
• Player supports 2 built-in skins: dark and white.
• Player control bar supports 3 behavior modes: always visible, always hidden and hide automatically.
• You can customize the embed code that is provided by player.
• You can configure the permalink that will be displayed inside the player.

Player supports up to 5 alternative video slots. Alternative slots allow you to display multiple files for the same video (e.g. 360p, 480p resolutions). They are displayed as a drop-down list.

A very important feature for alternative video slots is that you can configure them to redirect a user to a URL when user selects a slot. A video slot can either display a video file configured for it, or redirect the user to some pre-defined URL.

Ad management features:

• Pre-roll advertising (video or image) with limitable duration and customizable click URL.
• Post-roll advertising (video or image) with limitable duration and customizable click URL.
• On-pause advertising (image) with customizable click URL.
• On-stop advertising (image) with customizable click URL.
• Customizable click URL for the video display area.
• As many flash floating banners as you need. Banners can appear from 4 different sides.
• A short text and click URL can be displayed on the player control bar.

Kernel Team video player is totally free to use for any purposes.

I have installed the plugin and added a video to a post.......everything works, but the video doesn't start, staying at 0% and turning and turning..

Where do I get the display functionality and Ad management features in WP?

Thanks!

With that simple plugin of course you can't, but with CyberSEO you can use it in any way you want.

If your video doesn't start when you clearly do something wrong. Could you please post here the actual player code ([flv:blah-blah-blah]) that you were trying to insert into your post?

That plugin provides just a simple way of the plugin usage. If you need some advanced ad management etc in WP, that will require some additional changes in the plugin.

[BSleazy]

This one is easy to use. You don't have to type the options out every time you post a video. You configure them once. Then when you post a video, you just click a button and type the url of your video.

I use http://www.channel-ai.com/blog/plugins/flv-embed/ and it works well enough.

[Paul Markham]

Will take some of the advice here, thanks.

It's pretty slick hey I am using this code below to auto pull pictures from the movie, if anyone wants to use it go ahead.

[hana-flv-player
video="flvmovielinkhere"
player="1"
autoload="true" autoplay="false"
more_1="onStart: function() {
if (!this.bufferingStopped){
if (!playersArray) var playersArray=new Array();
playersArray.push(this.id());
setTimeout( function() { name=playersArray.shift(); $f(name).stopBuffering(); }, 5000 );
this.bufferingStopped = true;
}
}" /]

It pulls the pic from the first 5 seconds of the movie, if you want it longer change this part.

stopBuffering(); }, 5000

It doesn't work with all players, but where the player="1" you can change that to any of the other players and see how you go.

Works nice!

this player is only flash, only uses a .swf so for mobile phones it doesnt really do anything.
