Where is the download link?
Hi George,
MY bad, you can grab this download form wordpress here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/word-press-flow-player/
Cheers.
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.
Hi Barrie,
Basically after installation the plugin has attempted to create a config file to store your settings in, this file will need to be created with the PHP/apache user having read and write permissions.
A chmod of 665 will suffice.
In future please use our trac system http://trac.saiweb.co.uk/saiweb to report problems.
Cheers
Buzz
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.
Hi Barrie,
For the reference of other the ticket is here: http://trac.saiweb.co.uk/saiweb/ticket/15
As noted in the ticket this does appear to be an issue with the plugin itself at this time, as such a bug fix will be published shortly.
Regards
Buzz
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!
Hi Barrie,
Please see the ticket for an update, just as a note I didn’t mean to come across as harsh I just wasn’t expecting a reply back given that you had gone for another player plugin, but seeing as you prefer my player plugin you can find the latest fix in the dev subversion in reply to you ticket.
Please also note I will shortly be moving all the comments from this post to here: http://www.saiweb.co.uk/wordpress-flowplayer
The page dedicated to the plugin, that way they do not become ‘lost in time’ as it were when this blog entry eventually drops off the front page
=== this space for rent ===
Well actually I just need the assoc ID for moving the comments ^_^

Hello,
ist there a way to use this as a widget, in sidebar?
Hi Malte,
The plugin takes the wp_content() hook, which I am pretty sure only applies to blog posts, there has not been much call to make a sidebar widgets,
I will look into this though so keep an eye out
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!
Ah Yes,
You are quite right Jerry, I have indeed missed adding the consideration of rpath for videos *doh*, I will get this out shortly as a 2.0.1.3 release and raise a bug in trac
Thanks for the feedback!

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
Davide Dellacasa
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?
@Davide
You can contact me via email d.bu...@saiweb.co.uk I will be dropping you an email shortly
@Edouard
I have allready sent you an email regarding this, as noted in the documentation this plugin does not support PHP 4.x only PHP 5.x you should also note that Flowplayer is not my product, I am only providing a wordpress plugin to use Flowplayer.
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
@Peter
I am afraid so, the plugin does not support PHP4, PHP4 became deprecated in July 2007

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?
Hi Pete,
I’ve never even looked at buddypress before, looking at it now it appears that it’s a suite for turning a wordpress install into a social network.
If this is the case there is no reason as to why this plugin wouldn’t work ‘out of the box’ as it were.
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
@mark the current stable version will only remove the logo if you supply a commercial license.
The next version (which I want to get out tonight) has detection of commercial license, and will swicth between the free and commercial version. see: http://is.gd/x9g3
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 Kyle,
2.0.9.9 Is currently available in subversion, I’ll push this to the wordpress servers soon.
Cheers

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.
