You could link direktly to JW FLV Media Player by using [flash https://path.to/the/mediaplyer.swf?file=https://youtbue.com/...] but you will miss some flashvar support.

Or create a playlist and assign a youtube-media to it.

Playlist are only available for JW FLV Media Player. And that player (or at least the version I’m using) does not support Google Video. ??

I guess you use Inter Explorer, right? I had some problems on IE7 using multiple pb-embedFlash widgets, but don’t know why. On Firefox, it works fine for me. If could no reproduce that behaviour on FF yet.

You have to use the flashvar displayheight in order to show a playlist frame, e.g. f={displayheight=200}.

height-displayheight = height of the playlist frame

For example, if you set the flash’s height to 500 and use a displayheight of 300, then the playlist frame will use the remaining 200px.

(The same is for width and displaywidth. Then, the playlist is displayed on the right instead of on the bottom.)

The examples on that site are done using Shadowbox 2.0, pb-embedFlash still uses Shadowbox v1.x. So doing it with my plugin does not work at the moment.

The readme knows the answer:

To easily use an image as link to Shadowbox or the popup window, you can specify the source of an image in preview={URL|WIDTH|HEIGHT}. Both WIDTH and HEIGHT are optional. The alt attribute of the image tag is set to the image filename (e.g. movie.gif). Example: preview={https://domain.tld/img/thumb/movie.gif|200|100}. Please ensure that you put it into {} brackets!

The latest Shadowbox version is “2.0”, pb-embedFlash still uses an earlier version (1.x). pb-embedFlash v1.6 should be finished in February and will contain the latest JW FLV Media Player and Shadowbox versions.

Until then, I don’t think there will be an easy way of adding the fullscreen parameter to the Shadowbox.

This may be a bug in JW FLV Media Player (v3.16) ’cause if it’s loading the video, it knows where it’s located at. =)

And, as far as I know, JW dropped the button in v4.0.

I don’t know if Shadowbox (v1 or v2) even has such a function for flash files oO.

For pictures it has, but afaik not for flash files, sorry!

f={} is not meant to be used with .swf – it’s used to modify the flashvars of JW FLV Media Player (playing .flv, .mp3, etc.).

If your .swf autostarts, try adding ?autostart=false to the URL. If this does not work, your .swf does not consider the variable autostart.

And you don’t get the message if you leave f={autostart=false} out?

A link to an example page with [flash medium=1 f={autostart=false}] would be helpful.

I’ll check it next year ;D.

Please check your other post, thanks :).

Using wmode=transparent is very buggy in all browsers. It should pass the parameter correctly, but pb-embedFlash cannot correct the different interpretations in the browsers. Sometimes it looks fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Sometimes it’s vice versa.

Therefore I cannot give support as long as wmode=transparent is uses, sorry.

Thanks for your detailed response!

IE is just crap, but >40% are using it. Just because it’s “there” if you install windows…

Well, I don’t know what exactly is going wrong there. It seems to be an IE-only issue that some videos don’t load in Shadowbox. Maybe an update to Shadowbox v2 will solute this, but (as somewhere mentioned before) pb-embedFlash v1.6 (with Shadowbox 2 and JW FLV Media Player 4) will not be available before February ’09 ’cause I don’t have that time at the moment, sorry.

I cannot do any more than writing code that’s 100% (X)HTML conform and say that’s working on Firefox, Opera, (maybe Safari? don’t know) and Chrome oO. Microsoft should get IE to be conform and it should not rely on the programmers to write workarounds.

(No offense:) If another plugin is working fine with IE, please use that one. I’m tired with programming “IE-conform” stuff :(.

(Sorry for my agitation).
