working with the longtail flv player

[evan]

I just discovered the longtail player and I have some questions:

1) If anyone has developed a custom pluggin for them I would like to know if it is preferable to use external or timeline code. I know real coders use oop but if time-line coding will or won't work.

2)Can anyone recommend additional sources for pluggins besides ones listed on their site?

Hi Evan,

It's definitely preferred to use external code to plug into the Longtail player APIs. I suppose you could hack the source files and add code directly into the timeline but that might honestly be harder. That player has been in development for years and has a lot of disparate code all over the place. The API is definitely the easiest way to access the controls you'll need.
