Ok, I''ve changed the replacement code like you've shown above. Now the output in the post is: "The player will show in this paragraph" but there's no player, just the text output.

Really? How come? Is it the way the player/script works or is it because it's a custom MyCode? Should I use a different player code? Are there any other ways that you know off to implement something like this, so it works like the standard IMG tag for example?
I don't know a lot about coding so bear with me

Give me an example of such a post so I can see what's going on.

To get around the issue would require a fair bit of modification to SWFObject (if you want to use it), a custom plugin, or you using <object>/<embed> tags instead of SWFObject...
First off, thanks for your time so far Yumi
Here's an example post:

Quote:To get around the issue would require a fair bit of modification to SWFObject (if you want to use it), a custom plugin, or you using <object>/<embed> tags instead of SWFObject...
Ok, so does that basically mean that I need a different video player which uses a <object>/<embed> tag or can a simple modifcation to the existing player give the same result?
You're not putting a reference to swfobject.js anywhere in the header... make sure something like the following is in your headerinclude template:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
SWFObject basically just writes out the <embed> tag. You can use an <embed> tag directly instead, at the cost of not being XHTML valid code, and losing the ability for browser Flash detection.
Ah I see, sorry, I added the code into the "index" template, but that's just of course for index.php I guess. Now I added the code to the header template, and now it works!
Thanks.
I've been looking around for an embedded code and found one for this player. If you don't mind
, I would love to be able to use MyCode to insert videos with the embed script:
<embed
src="http://www.tangodown.nl/global/mediaplayer/player.swf"
width="400"
height="300"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=http://www.tangodown.nl/data/streaming/video.flv"
/>
I've been reading some about invalid xhtml code, but as far as I understand it's not going to be an issue for me (?). I really need to be able to post more videos on one page.
The code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('player.swf','player','400','300','9');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('flashvars','file=video.flv');
s1.write('preview');
</script>
should be equivalent to:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="player.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="file=video.flv" /><embed src="player.swf" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="file=video.flv" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object>
You won't need swfobject.js if you're using the HTML embed.
Nice, nice, thanks a lot
I got it working, I'll post how I changed the MyCode just in case, maybe there are errors or security issues the way I edited it. This is how my new replacement MyCode looks like (I added both the $1, $2 and $3 based on your previous MyCode and added the correct src url to the mediaplayer.swf):
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="player.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="file=$3" /><embed src="http://www.tangodown.nl/global/mediaplayer/player.swf" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="file=$3" width="$1" height="$2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object>
Or should I also add the $1 and $2 to the height/width of this part of the code?
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="400" height="300">
You should add it to both.
Here I am again
I just found out that the player doesn't work with IE7 (due to the object or embed code?). Well, of course I went to the support page of the player's distributor but till now it doesn't seem that the issue can be resolved using their solution posted. I hope you might know what to do, I'll just give it a shot
From what I've read, for IE there needs to be a second object code. Some said I should add the following code:
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="$1" height="$2"><param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=$3" />
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
to the existing code so that it looks something like this (I did a few hard-returns so it's easier on the eyes):
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="$1" height="$2">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=$3" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="$1" height="$2"><param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=$3" />
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
<embed src="http://www.tangodown.nl/global/mediaplayer/player.swf" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="file=$3" width="$1" height="$2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object>
But it still doesn't work for IE when I use that code. I understand if it's too specific, but maybe you know what I'm doing wrong
The if and endif codes aren't right for one. Try adding this...
<!--[if IE]>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="$1" height="$2"><param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=$3" />
</object>
<![endif]-->
