Captions: Add Flowplayer Content Plugin (+ Captions howto)

I've had some success at this.
I'm using the Flowplayer plugins: Captions, and Content.

I've added the following lines to the .module in function flowplayer_add().
No sure if this is the right place for it.

This loads up a Subrip file (.srt) from the modules directory.

    $config['clip']['captionUrl'] = drupal_get_path('module', 'flowplayer') . '/buffalo.srt';
    $config['plugins']['captions']['url'] = drupal_get_path('module', 'flowplayer') .'/flowplayer/flowplayer.captions.swf';
    $config['plugins']['captions']['captionTarget'] = 'content';
    $config['plugins']['content']['url'] = drupal_get_path('module', 'flowplayer') .'/flowplayer/flowplayer.content.swf';
    $config['plugins']['content']['bottom'] = 15;
    $config['plugins']['content']['height'] = 40;
    $config['plugins']['content']['backgroundColor'] = 'transparent';
    $config['plugins']['content']['backgroundGradient'] = 'none';
    $config['plugins']['content']['border'] = 0;
    $config['plugins']['content']['textDecoration'] = 'outline';
    $config['plugins']['content']['style']['body']['fontSize'] = 14;
    $config['plugins']['content']['style']['body']['fontFamily'] = 'Arial';
    $config['plugins']['content']['style']['body']['fontWeight'] = 'bold';
    $config['plugins']['content']['style']['body']['textAlign'] = 'center';
    $config['plugins']['content']['style']['body']['color'] = '#333333';

This will load up the same captions file for every video. That's progress.

I'd like to have a captions file for each video. In a filefield perhaps.
How can I alter the player per node?

Is there any way to add captions to the player per node?

The code above adds captions (the same captions) to all nodes.

Right. I didn't intend on leaving the module modified. I was just doing everything I knew how to do.

The module though should consider adding the captions feature.

To get Captions to work, i modified my template file for my video content type. node-video.tpl.php
The video content type has a file field for a captions file. field_captionfile

  <div class="content">
   <a href="<?php print $node->field_featuredvideo[0]['filepath'] ?>" id="player" class="flowplayer"></a>
   <?php
        if ($node->field_captionfile[0]['filepath'] != "") {
           flowplayer_add('#player', array(
                'clip' => array(
                  'captionUrl' => $node->field_captionfile[0]['filepath'],
                  'autoPlay' => 0,
                  'autoBuffering' => true,
                ),
                'plugins' => array(
                    'captions' => array(
                        'url' => drupal_get_path('module', 'flowplayer') .'/flowplayer/flowplayer.captions.swf',
                        'captionTarget' => 'content',
                    ),
                    'content' => array(
                      'url' => drupal_get_path('module', 'flowplayer') .'/flowplayer/flowplayer.content.swf',
                      'bottom' => 30,
                      'height' => 40,
                      'backgroundColor' => 'transparent',
                      'backgroundGradient' => 'none',
                      'textDecoration' => 'outline',
                      'border' => 0,
                      'style' => array(
                          'body' => array(
                              'fontSize' => 14,
                              'fontFamily' => 'Arial',
                              'fontWeight' => 'bold',
                              'fontAlign' => 'center',
                              'color' => '#0087de',
                          ),
                      ),
                    ),
                ),
              ));
        }
        else {
            flowplayer_add('#player', array(
                'clip' => array(
                  'autoPlay' => 0,
                  'autoBuffering' => true,
                ),
              ));
        }
    ?>
    <?php print $content; ?>
  </div> 

I put the above code in the node-video.tpl.php.
It check to see if there is a captions file. If there is a captions file, it loads the Captions plugin and the caption file in field_captionfile. If there is Not a captions file, it just loads the player as normal.

I removed my modifications to the module. I only needed to modify this file. I exclude my video field (field_featruedvideo) from $content as well.

Note: The flowplayer.captions.swf referenced in this code is not included in the module on

Works like a dream.
Writing the xml caption files not so easy.. :)

Thanks all!
