When selecting the checkbox for 'disable playlist', the video will no longer appear or play in a panel box which contains a view that returns a blog entry that contains a video. It is as if no video is present there. When I uncheck the box, the video appears, so the view and panel configurations are correct, it seems.

I am under the impression that I would use this checkbox when I want the view to return 1 value back (in my case, it is a blog with a video attached - for latest video) and I do not need or want a playlist showing, just the video that the view returned.

I am using the Media Player format in the custom view and selecting my custom preset under 'settings'.

It does not appear that any other settings in the 'display settings' under 'playlist settings' affect the outcome of this.

Please let me know if this is that checkbox's purpose, or if there might be an issue.

Thanks,
Julie

Actually, it seems that changing the setting 'Template' under Presentations settings, under Player settings, also causes this behavior.

I am getting errors in my log that state - Theme Key '{key_name}' not found

key_names include: osmplayer_shockplayer_scrollbar, osmplayer_shockplayer_teaservoter, osmplayer_shockplayer_playlist, osmplayer_shockplayer_pager, osmplayer_shockplayer_scrollbar, osmplayer_shockplayer_node, osmplayer_shockplayer_menu, etc ...

Thanks in advance,
Julie

You can just uncheck the "Show Playlist" setting and it will just not show the playlist in the player, but still load it and play it.

That is what I did and that does work for the player. But then, I wonder, why have the option at all.

Also, that solution doesn't work for the 'template' setting. I actually really like the 'simpleblack' setting and cannot use it because of the same issue - I think.

Peace,
Julie

Julie,

Unfortunately the simpleblack template does not include a playlist, but fortunately there is a work around.

Create two Mediafront presets: 1 for the player ( simpleblack ), and the other for the playlist (Check playlist only). Within the playlist preset, also go to "Player to Player" section and make the "playlist" preset a playlist for "player" preset. You can then setup a views block and add that block next to the media player, or you can even throw it off the page and it will still control the main player.

This should work, but let me know if it doesn't.

Thanks,

Travis.

In the place where I am trying to use simpleblack, there is no playlist. When I select the simpleblack theme, the theme shows correctly, but then the video is no longer there. The play button is also missing.

I also then get the errors from comment #1.

I am wondering if it is related to my other issue created here: http://drupal.org/node/1417794

Peace,

I think this one and all of these may all be related:

Anyone? I don't know enough to fix ... :(

The theme issues are unrelated to this. What is happening here is that the simpleblack theme does not have a built in playlist, but is rather built to be driven from an external playlist. You can read my comment #4 to help you with getting this to work. I am afraid this works as designed.

I understand .. I am not using a playlist .... just a single video.
