Flowplayer

Purpose

The purpose of this recipe is to allow the inclusion of the flowplayer flash video player into a pmwiki page.

Description

• flowplayer-1.0.tar.gz (file hosted on www.terranovanet.it due to size limit on uploads)

This recipe provides a customizable block to generate the code needed for embedding the flowplayer swf file.

Installation

Download and extract the archive as shown below:

Then, add the following to local/config.php

include_once("cookbook/flowplayer.php");

Usage

To reproduce a video on your pages add a the following directive:

(:flowplayer <options> :)

The script supports all configuration options available to flowplayer, save those related to playlists (soon or later I will implement them, right now I don't need to). Have a look at flowplayer documentation for information on their usage.

e.g. (:flowplayer width=400 height=300 src=Dark videoFile=http://www.example.org/path/to/file.flv autoPlay=false :)

Comments

The path is wrong in flowplayer.php file. Below worked for me:

SDV($FPObjBaseUrl, $ScriptUrl."/wiki/cookbook/flowplayer/");
SDV($FPJsUrl, $ScriptUrl."/wiki/cookbook/flowplayer/flashembed.min.js");
SDV($HelperJsUrl, $ScriptUrl."/wiki/cookbook/flowplayer/addloadevent.js");

Changed to:

SDV($FPObjBaseUrl, "./cookbook/flowplayer/");
SDV($FPJsUrl, "./cookbook/flowplayer/flashembed.min.js");
SDV($HelperJsUrl, "./cookbook/flowplayer/addloadevent.js");

Also changed in config.php file:

'include_once("cookbook/flowplayer.php");'

Changed to:

'include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/flowplayer.php");'

If you want the embedded media
to be playable on your local copy of pmwiki,
you could try a relative path.

Examples:

The following doesn't work, on my local copy,
but it works on my internet wiki...
(:flowplayer videoFile=/main/uploads/Main/some_video.flv :)

This works, both, on my local pmwiki
and on my internet wiki...
(:flowplayer videoFile=../../uploads/Main/some_video.flv :)

Adjust as needed...
