[New Plugin] Extreme Video Plugin

@chaoswarp:

I would love to make it stable, but it will stay beta as I add more file formats and services. Once I feel I have made everyone happy with formats I will just worry about stability. Though the current release is very stable for the services and formats it supports, if you are looking to use it.

I just use the YouTube & Google Video, now I might start using FLV as well. So if the plugin doesn’t break, then I’ll upgrade else I’ll wait for it to become stable. ??

Some slight modifications:

If you are posting HD (16×9) movies and want to get rid of the whitespace in the plugin, make these changes about a third of the way down:
//Function to return a Quick Time embeded Video Object
function gv_returnQTObject(
$url,
$wid,
$hei,
$linkText=QT_DEFAULTLINKTEXT,
$linkClass=QT_DEFAULTLINKCLASS,
$qtHolder=QT_DEFAULTQTHOLDERCLASS,
$qt=QT_DEFAULTQTCLASS,
$useLogo=QT_USEQTLOGO)
{
global $gv_currentVideo;
$gv_currentVideo++;

$wid == null ? $wid = “500” : null;
$hei == null ? $hei = “297” : null;

If you want a reference image instead of the QT logo, about halfway down the plugin (in the same function as above), remove the highlighted code:
<td align='center' valign='middle'>
<img src='".QT_IMAGELOGO."' border='0' alt='Quick Time Logo'/> <br>
<b>”.QT_PROXYTEXT.”</b>
</td>
</tr>

Finally, about a fifth of the way from the top of the plugin, add a link to a 500×281 image, like so:
//LOGO TO USE INSIDE THE PROXY FOR QUICKTIME
DEFINE('QT_IMAGELOGO',‘https://www.theillustratedlife.com/brentmax.jpg');

Those are just some quick enhancements I have made. At some point I’ll probably add a way to change reference images on the fly (so you can use different posters for different movies), but I have a paper to write, so that will have to wait. . . Enjoy!

I followed the directions, but I cannot get a google video to play. It shows up as text in the post.

The example shows a path to google video, but I cannot find this without the embed tags at the google video site.

I removed the embed and any other extraneous information and it still would not work.

I am going to try it with a .mov file , but would like to use the google video.

Any ideas

How do you take off the View on google videos bit above the swf?

@chaoswarp:

Did you take a look at instructions for inclusion of WMV files at ?
Is this included in 2.3, or in a next version or are they simply wrong? It is not the desired solution but…

Best

Sp … where can I download flvPlayer.swf?

Thanks

Thanks for the plugin! I have been looking for something like this for a while.

Is it possible to make it work with Dailymotion.com ?

3.0 is in the works. It will be class based, much easier to work with. Much cleaner. I already have it going to fLV, google and you tube. I am working on other formats now like mov and avi and windows formats.
