Since version 2.1: There have been many enhancements to FlashVideo Version 2.2. Please follow the links below to get more information regarding the new API and FlashVideo CCK plugin.

Changes from Beta 3 to 2.2 Release

• Added the ability to specify which flash mimetypes would be accepted.
• Moved the Views include to its own FlashVideo Plugin Module
• Changed the name of a thumbnail variable. It was too long.
• Fixed a problem with the google and youtube videos not working.
• Added a select box for window mode.
• Cleaned up the code in the flashvideo_get_video routine.

• Introduced the FlashVideo CCK Plugin. For more information, go to http://www.travistidwell.com/flashvideo_cck
• Fixed where the video $file variable was changing within the flashvideo_convert routine. Thanks TolstoyDotCom!
• Fixed where the video width and heights were not taking passed parameters into consideration.
• Fixed where it was broken with intro videos
• Fixed the file tag to be more generic.
• In the flashvideo_convert routine, I made it to where they don't have to provide all the parameters but just the parameters they wish to override. It will use the defaults on all others.
• Added a new parameter for the [video] and [thumbnail] tag, called file. This allows you to specify any file and it will play it. This is referenced from the system files directory.
• Depricated the _perform_ffmpeg routine. Now using a more standard flashvideo_convert routine.
• Added the ability to customize the Thumbnail command to the conversion utility.
• Made another fix to the RSS feeds that was using db_fetch_object instead of db_result.
• Fixed the bad wordage in the Missing thumbnail image... It was saying "Image Not Unavailable" and now says "Image Not Available".
• Fixed the file paths to the missing video and missing thumbnail images.
• Changed the flashvideo_get_video routine to look for not only "flv-application/octet-stream" files, but also "application/octet-stream" files.
• Fixed a bug where the post operations were not being performed if they specify 0 for the max number of failures (No FFMPEG).
• Added some more comments to help other people understand the module.
• Added a PHP check that looks for installed modules and PHP directive settings, and notifies the user if any settings do not match recommendations.
