Wordpress Flowplayer 2.1 Preview

Posted by: Buzz in flowplayer, php

Tonight I will be pushing to the development SVN a beta preview of the 2.1 release.

Here are some of the changes:

Poor tags, we barely knew them…

GOODBYE! inpost tags, (sort of), configuration will no longer be handled using the inpost tags, the old tag structure will be retired in favor of an anchor to place the player in your content [FLOWPLAYER], configuration of the player will now be handled by an admin menu box.

That’s quite a list you’ve got there…

(basic) Playlists support has been added, this is configurable from the admin menu for the post

Dude, where’s your config file?

The saiweb_wpfp.conf file has now been removed *gasp*, now reliant in internal wordpress *magic* for the storing of the plugin config.

Your media is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it

Fixed a bug with the canvas colour settings

Is that a logo in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

The commercial version of flowplayer will now only be used if a license key is specified, the free version will now be used if no key is specified which has a reduced logo branding.

I Once Was Blind, But Now I See

Player embed causing issues with some navigation menus, this should be resolved with the wmode setting.

Details of how to get the preview version and install it along with screen casts of the new menus (time allowing) will be added to this post once everything is committed to subversion.

UPDATE: 15/04/2009 Got my hands on flowplayer 3.1 code is around 60% finished, went for a complete re-write.

    Hey! I await the new release. In the meantime, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put a splash image on the player. Its not on the config page and that makes me worry it’s impossible. I will check this page for any info, I’ve spent a few hours scouring the internet looking for any clues on this. I looked through trac and it didn’t help me.

    Thanks.

    It’s not impossible it just hasn’t been requested, log into the TRAC system and create a new ticket :-)

    Hi Buzz,

    Thanks for your great job in developing and maintaining this plugin. I declared some bugs in your trac and I usually rarely came back to say thanks. So I think that everybody should thank you for your job here :-)

    By the way, I think I will try your svn version because I can’t wait anymore with this huge logo :)

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Humm.
    Doesn’t seem to work, in the “wordpress flowplayer” configuration don’t have the palette and the example. But let’s assume that’s normal (and I don’t need the palette and other stuff).

    So, what are the new tags to include a video ?
    I’m using revision r315.

    By the way, I had a look at your roadmap, maybe RTMP can wait for another version ? :)

    Thomas.
