Flash videos for my website

[Medyman]

Once you add the FlashVars that I instructed you to do in the previous post, just add the relative links into the XML.

Open up playlist.xml in any text editor. In the sample playlist provided with the script, the first node looks like this:

<track>
			<title>Homeland (MP3)</title>
			<creator>Postman</creator>
			<location>song.mp3</location>
		</track>

To be able to display thumbnail images in the player, you want to edit that to this:

<track>
			<title>Homeland (MP3)</title>
			<creator>Postman</creator>
			<location>song.mp3</location>
			<image>thumb.jpg</image>
		</track>

With "thumbsinplaylist" set to true, you should have the effect you're looking for.

What is the flashvars code for the thumbsinplaylist that I have to enter? Please and thank you!!

Using the wizard in the link Medy gave you earlier you will get a code line that looks like this:

flashvars="&file=http://tedtalks.blip.tv/rss&height=220&width=400&autoscroll=true&displaywidth=200&overstretch=true&thumbsinplaylist=true" />

You shouldn't need to change anything (see the very end of the code above). Just ensure it =true not =false.

Is it possible to add a "number of views" script and a 5 star rater? Please and thank you!

[Medyman]

Do you mean in conjuction with the flash player? Of course I think anything is possible but adapting this particular one for that functionality would be a pretty large task.

You could probably do some workarounds to use those types of scripts though (external of the flash player). But that depends on your setup and what exactly you're trying to do.

Ok thanks, I'll try it.
