Try rc5.2.

Yep, now I see, thanks!

So you “just” need a +20px for the player in the script? ?? That’s possible. JW automatically determies the height&width of flv files, but it does need to know the h&w set for itself (some problems on IE if not).

The WP-Forum chokes on some HTML code ..hum.. I meant this:
  – a space masked as HTML :). This should work, if not: an update should come lately next weekend.

I checked the JW Media Player website and I found the reason why I dropped the +20: By adding height&width to flashvars, the player knows how much space it can use to display the video.

As far as I unterstand you, you added +20 to height to each video? Do you use the overstrech flashvar?

Maybe I didn’t got the problem yet oO. All videos work fine for me by giving the player the real height&width as flashvar. There is no stretching and the control bar just seems to overlay. JW himself does it the same way (code on the bottom).

I could add 20px to the code outputted for the flv player. This was in previous versions far ago – either I dropped it or it was lost… I don’t know :).

The (real) width&height are sent to the player anyway (inc.functions.php, around line 167), so the videos itself are not streched – the flash codes don’t need to be updated, because (afaik) the control bar overlays the video instead of stretching it.

I’ll make some coding now ;D

Try entering   as title.

The default title is a fallback for a forgotten title.

But I’m thinking of changing the integration so the fallback is not needed any longer.

Popup means new window without any bars and resized to the video’s width & height? It’s not possible yet, but I’ll integrate it into the next version/rc! Thx for the input!

Ok, so it’s fortunately not a plugin problem :).

First of all: pb-embedFlash is for posts/pages only – and sidebar via widget. I don’t know what “does not work” because you don’t tell me/us, where you insert what code.

With more information, I/we could better support you. ??

As said before, I don’t know much about WPMU. If you need the Plugin in all/the most of your blogs, it would be easier for updating and managing the plugin if putting it into mu-plugins.

I cannot recreate the error without WPMU installed, but I think it’s a saving or reading issue.

Are the saved values displayed in the settings again?
Are other values like default display mode (object tag, Flashbox, …), default height, etc. saved?
Do these other values work on your blog post (e.g. height)?
-> Are only flashvars involved in this “bug”?

The final version will take some time I think. In the mean time, I will publish the progress in further release candidates and maybe I find some time to complete the Flashbox compatibility soon.

You could add code to the plugin by yourself to make it work for you and/or you could give it to me (please regard I would make changes to it). I cannot say when exactly I integrate what function because it depends on my free time and on my motivation. ??

Yes, Flashbox does not have all the functionality (yet) like the other ways of embedding. That’s because of the complex setup of the links and the JavaScript.

With the final version 1.5 of pbembedFlash, Flashbox will/should fully support all the other options, too. Therefore it’s still beta/rc at the moment.

=> rc5.1

Enable/Activate the new Option in Options/pb-embedFlash->Messages.

Now, there should be displayed the image defined for JW FLV Media Player in the same width and hight as the player for clients not allowing the object-tag – hopefully ^^. If there was previously displayed a text, the image should work, too.

The class assigned to the image is “alternativeimage”, but I could change it to a better one.

From the WPMU-FAQ:

Do plugins work?

Plugins work just like in regular WordPress, they can be activated and deactivated on a per-blog level. We have something extra called “mu-plugins” which auto-executes any PHP file in that directory, like plugins that are enabled by default. Most plugins work, but some that modify core tables or create tables of their own in the DB might have difficulties, depending on how they’re coded. Best way to find out is to test!
So pb-embedFlash should work on per-blog basis. But it writes all settings into the wp_options table – so flashvars, too. There could be issues regarding this.

As of I don’t use WPMU and I don’t have an installation of it, I cannot say more, sorry!

pb-embedFlash determines the type of an file via the ending, like .flv, .swf, .mp3 etc. It also knows .xml and assigns it to JW FLV Media Player. But it does not know .php because .php can contain million of things and at least it’s a security issue.

You could run the/a script each time the new data is added or just data is changed and write a file podcast.xml and put that file into [flash] or try to use PHP inside an .xml document.
