Where is the download link?

Great plugin!

I am having a problem with the recent version.

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file /home/content/c/o/o/user/html/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/saiweb_wpfp.conf because No such file or directory in /home/content/c/o/o/user/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/flowplayer.php on line 394

any ideas?

thanks.

Thanks Buzz. I made a ticket. Although I did try your suggest. I might not have understood your suggestion completely. I did go into my hosted file manager and allowed write permissions on “saiweb_wpfp.conf”. That alone didn’t resolve it.

…I will follow the ticket. Thanks for the response.

For anyone that is viewing this post and wondering about the plugin…it incorporates flowplayer into wordpress perfectly. My problem is probably user induced.

Buzz, after chatting with you within the ticket I realized that it should be stated for others to read here, that your flowplayer plugin plays .f4v files.

There is no other VIDEO PLUGIN for wordpress that plays a .f4v video. An h264 video wrapped in an FLV container displayed in such a nice plugin used in wordpress…priceless.

Of course you need the latest version of flash to view it…but soon 98% of the computers will have the latest….well maybe not all that soon…but soon enough.

Thanks!

Hello,

ist there a way to use this as a widget, in sidebar?

hi,

awesome plugin! I looked around a lot for the right video plugin, and this is just perfect. I’m only just learning how to use it.

I tried to install 2.0.1.2 to my blog which is located in my public_html/blog directory. I updated saiweb_wpfp.conf to use an rpath like this:

rpath:/blog/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player

This worked great for finding the flowplayer, but it didn’t work for the videos directory. I think there is a typo in flowplayer.php. Line 388 should be:

define(‘VIDEO_PATH’,(isset($this->conf['rpath'])?substr(0, strpos($this->conf['rpath'],’wp-content’),$this->conf['rpath']).’wp-content/videos/’:'/wp-content/videos/’));

Note the missing ‘/’ for the condition where rpath ‘isset’. When I made this change, it worked for me.

cheers!

Hi, on ScreenWEEK.it we have started using FlowPlayer for HD videos but now we think we can use that also for the video embed in the site and all the videoplayer used in, but we need a developer to work on it as our team is not so evolved in flash programming. Can you hel us or know someone who can? Thanks

I got a fatal error with wordpress 2.7 and both the version 2.0.1.3 and 2.0.1.4 at activation of the plugin.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/flowplayer.php on line 379

We bought an commercial licence of your product. Can you help?

First – THANKS! This is really a fantastic plugin, and I appreciate all the work it represents.

Now, a question: RTMP streaming…how is it done with this plugin? Your page here says to check the README, but there’s no documentation there. I looked in the tickets, but apparently I’m missing something because it got into Java. Any help? Thanks!

Unfortunately I get the same fatal error message as Edouard – is this simply a PHP5 vs PHP 4 issue ? – I am on PHP 4.4.2

Thanks

I’d Help support development of flowplayer and this plugin,if you could adapt this great plugin as a buddypress media plugin. Whereby from the user profile can use this media?
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/

Any idea?

But it needs to be on the user’s profile like a video tab and the user selects it and that when they use your plugin like facebook does.
Check the buddypress demo.

Hi,

I don’t know if it is something very obvious, but is there a way to pass other configuration variables to flowplayer using the plugin (such as setting ‘loop’ to true). I love how easy it is to use the plugin and I’ll definitely use it for embedding videos if I don’t need to tweak anything.

Also, I like launching the video in a ‘lightview’ overlay. Currently I am using an older version of FlowplayerLight.swf and some code I strung up together by studying a bunch of sites and launching it with the class=”lightview” tag. Do you have any advice/idea how I could launch the player using lightview?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Incompatibility with IE8

Hi, sorry for the double post but I also just realised that this plugin is facing the same problem that many others have with IE, the dreaded “Operation Aborted” error which seems to stem from the plugin being loaded in wp_head which for whatever reason conflicts with IE. Light Box 2 and some other plugins have also faced similar issues with IE. Do you have any suggestion on how to modify this so as to make it IE compatible?

In the case of lightbox, replacing all instances of wp_head with wp_footer seemed to do the trick.

Thanks

Is there a way to remove the “Flowplayer” text at the bottom right of the screen? Cannot find setting in the config area.. See http://www.houseplangallery.tv/ fpr example.

Also, anyway to set default video thumbnail frame/image?

Thanks very much,

Mark

Is there anyway at all to wrap text around this video player? I have tried several ways in which I know “should” work but I have not been able to successfully get text to wrap around this video player plugin. Help would greatly be appreciated!

For those who may or may not have been struggling with the text wrap issue I just posted about, I finally got it working. I ended up jumping into the style.php file and used .classname { float:left;padding:8px; }

On another note I’d be interested in hearing more on Marks question above as well…

“Also, anyway to set default video thumbnail frame/image?”

Thank you.

how do you add the splash image thumbnail in wordpress?

thanks,

Derik

Hey Buzz…

I installed the player, it works well, I bought a commercial license and installed it, however it is not removing the big Flowplayer text at the bottom. Please help.

Ritz

Works great apart from 2 things:

1 – is it possible to make this work on a page? I want to setup a video page showing multiple FLVs.

2 – Can you hack this to support the new RSS feeds? I want to put multiple FLVs in a sequence, like a TV station -will this be added in future?

3 – Flash Embedding – I assume the Javascript plugins for generating the embed code won’t work with this? Shame, cos it means I won’t switch from Hana FLV Plugin for general use as I like the fact Flow Player can be embedded by others for my general posts…is it possible to add this? AFAIK no other open source FLV player can generate the embed code – it was nicely built in with FlowPlayer 2, making it a lot easier. Hmm.

I’ve tried adding the latest Flow Player to a WP page template too, with no success

Oops sorry scrub the first one – my fault, dodgy template.

The rest though I would like to know…

Can you use this with shadowbox ?

Currently using the free player in conjunction with 2.0.1.4. Purchased a commercial license last week, but I’ve been waiting for the 2.0.9.9 and 2.1 releases to implement. It appears, via the change log, that they’ve been completed, but I can’t find a download to either release. Possible to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hi there,
I’ve tried the stable release on my wp blog and everything is fine, but I need one specific option – the playlist (so I can add subtitles to the video). After I’ve read everything here and in the Track system I’ve saw that 2.1.0.0 was released some times ago, which should have the playlist option. Now I try to download the 2.0.9.9 from the svn, but I can’t see the flowplayer in my blog, but the javascript is loaded (when I look at the page source). Maybe there is some kind of problem with my theme, but my real question is – will there be new release soon?
Keep the good work! Buzz you rock
Thanks,
Regards – Krasen

“’ll push this to the wordpress servers soon.” When will be update for the version 2.0.1.4.?

Thank you!

Hello,

I already had a commercial version of flowplayer before I found your plugin. I installed your player in my wordpress-site and it works. So far so good. Than I gave in the licence-code – but nothing happens. The big text at the bottom of the video is still there. What can I do?

Another question: I would like to center the videos in my postings. I tried it allready with The an also the tag, but the video keeps on the left site. Is there any way?

Thanks.

Hi Buzz,

I wrote you a comment today, about two problems with your flowplayer-plugin. I solve both problems by integrating the newer player-version 3.1.2 and using the div id=”player” to place the player in the center of the posts.

Thanks

I purchased the commercial version, added a logo (it appears in the upper right corner) and the \flowplayer\ logo remains. I can’t figure out how to remove it using the wp-version. Can you advise?

hi,

somehow the plugin doesn’t work – means
[FLOWPLAYER=interview_01.flv,600,450]
is not replaced – i still see that as textoutput.

i’m using wordpress 2.8.2

any clue what went wrong?

thx in advance,
kilian

having same problem as @Ritz. purchased commercial version 3.1.2 and uploaded the .swf and .js file into the /flowplayer directory.
it will let me insert a custom image but does not remove flowplayer logo at bottom left.

Hi Buzz
I downloaded and installed your plugin in my blog, so far it is working perfectly

This is maybe something that you already answered but I couldn’t find it:

It is possible to generate an embedded code for the player? (similar to youtube and others) how can I expose it to visitors?

Thanks in advance for your help

Masoha

A very basic question…I installed the plug in. I use woothemes. And I have loaded a .flv video into the wp-content/videos folder. But this directory does not show in media list. How to embed the video file .flv that I have in /videos into a post? Thanks

I have addded the player on my site but for some reason when I go the the posts page the video doesn’t load (it only loads on the INDEX PAGE)
I am using SEO Friendly URLs… can that be the reason for this error to happen?
also: is there a way to add a THUMBNAIL to the videos instead of that regular BG from flowplayer?

Hello,
also i need how if it is possible to generate an embedded code for the player.
I have found this: http://flowplayer.org/demos/tools/sharing-tabbed.html but i’m not sure to know how can i insert it in your plugin.

Thanks,
Andrea

Hello David,

I just opened an account at Influxis using their European servers. At my test site I have six flv videos that I want to use at my WordPress 2.8.4 test site. Right now I have used flv-embed with the JW flv player. It works fine but I want to try your plugin again and with the RTMP address from my Influxis CDN.

Can your plug-in accommodate using a local server swf player while feeding the actual video from my CDN via RTMP? I need to have one player swf file used for all the videos that is called from the server of the WordPress content and the individual RTMP feed from the CDN that can be added on the Page of text content inside the plugin video tag.

Also, I do not want the big play and pause buttons showing in the center of the screen and I have been using a png image before the video plays and when it is stopped or finishes playing.

Will your flow player compatible for 2.8.4 allow for this kind of flexibility and especially using an RTMP source for each video?

Your reply is much appreciated!

David H

Great plugin, works perfectly. Really great for people like me who don’t know enough HTML to customize the player at all. Works like a charm with the [FLOWPLAYER=] tag.

Hello,

great plugin but after I have addded the player the Lightbox plugin doesn’t works. That means we can’t use the Flowplayer plugin

Version 2.0.9.9 is not compatible with WordPress 2.9. I get an error:
Warning: Constants may only evaluate to scalar values in /absolute/pathto/website.com/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/classes/flowplayer.class.php on line 23

Can you post a fix?
Please?

I upgraded Wordpress to 2.9 and it appears that this plugin has completely killed my admin page and blog!

Here’s the error I get:
———————–

Warning: Constants may only evaluate to scalar values in …../public_html/thecult/blog/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/classes/flowplayer.class.php on line 23

What can I do to get my admin page back and get my blog working again?

I upgraded my WP to 2.9.0 and the flowplayer broke.

Warning: Constants may only evaluate to scalar values in /home/content/d/a/n/dantetv/html/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/classes/flowplayer.class.php on line 23

Warning to others using the GoDaddy hosting. Hopefully, there will be a fix/workaround for this soon. *fingers eldersigned*

After upgrading to Wordpress 2.9 I get “Warning: Constants may only evaluate to scalar values in …/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/classes/flowplayer.class.php on line 23″ on top of every page. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hello,
your plugin works perfectly, but I would like to know how I can add the playlist plugin from flowplayer.org to it.

[http://flowplayer.org/plugins/javascript/playlist.html]

I hope you can help because I have had no luck on google or forums!

thanks

Hello,
it doesn’t work with Wordpress 2.9.

I’m trying to use the flowplayer plugin. It appears to be exactly what I need, but I can’t get it working. I get a “200. Stream not found. Netstream. Play.StreamNotFound, Clip ….”

I placed the URL in the [FLOWPLAYER=] tag and verified the URL but still receive this message. Any help would be great!

After install I get this above the admin header
“public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/classes/flowplayer.class.php on line 23

The plug-in’s great, one of the best ones out there, but it now generates a warning message with WordPress 2.9. I’ve got to switch to another player until it gets fixed.

I have described the situation in more detail here: http://flowplayer.org/forum/5/34338

Thank you for the fix, Flowplayer now works fantastic, again.

Yes, it is working with Wordpress 2.9

btw. is there a possibility to get a border around the vids with the Tag [FLOWPLAYER=video.flv,600,400,border=1] or something like this?

Really nice plug in. I love the clean look. My only complaint is that the aspect ratio is not maintained in \Full Screen\ mode. Most of my videos are 16:9 (widescreen) but most of the computer monitors are 4:3 (like a Standard TV). When someone clicks the \full screen\ button, the video is stretched to the maximum height and width of their monitor, which is making everyone look very skinny when the 16:9 video is scrunched to 4:3. I am sure there is probably a simple code way to fix this so the video streaches to the maximum height or width (not both), but I am a video editor, not a programmer.

[...] Flowplayer for Wordpress – created by David Busby of Saiweb, this plugin also includes player customization features as well as commercial license key input for advanced settings: [...]

Great plugin, perfect base for a project I’m working on. Had an issue with the videos not loading though on a site using SEO friendly URLs (www.site.com/some-post as opposed to http://www.site.com?p-12). Soution was to change line 406 of flowplayer.class.php to:
url:\”.get_bloginfo(’siteurl’).’/wp-content/video/’.$media.’\',

Hard coding like that isn’t elegant, would be better to add an admin option for “path to media folder” or something. I’ll do that and post it, but until then, if you’re having the same issue, just replace the /video/ part with whatever folder(s) you’re using. In my case, the full URL to the media is http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/video

Cheers.
