Flash Media Player - Jeroen Wijering - Missing
sysspoof - September 7, 2007 - 14:45
hi
i want to use the Jeroen Wijering FlashPlayer. For that i installed the SWFTools Module. I made drupal to use the standard path for media players. But if i know have to configure the swftools filehandling, it shows me the following:
Flash Media Player - Jeroen Wijering - Missing
and
Generic FLV Player
The generic player is place here: modules/swftools/shared/generic
So now i should put the Wijering player somewhere in /shared/XXXX. But how has tha folder to be called? And how has the mediaplayer.swf from Jeroen's website to be named that the SWFTools module will find it?
Thank you
Sys
From the README.txt
From the readme in the shared folder;
Please add your Flash players and embedding scripts to this directory.
You can usually do this by downloading the supported flash player, unzipping
the files, and moving the whole file structure in the modules/swftools/shared
directory.

Default file structure for install players and scripts. You can change the
"Default flash player path" in admin/media/swf/embed to change the "shared"
directory. However, inside the "shared" directory, the paths to the player
file are not configurable.

Same problem
Hey I have the same problem, did read that readme and tried different folders, different names, but with no luck. Could someone please tell really simply how the wijering thing is supposed to get rid of that "missing" status?
Hi, I had the exact same
Hi,
I had the exact same issue until I figured out that these "players" only work after you have resolved how your drupal installation deals with embedding flash.
Therefore as suggested in the readme follow the exact same path names but first download and install the flash "interpreter" (sorry for my non technical way of looking at this)
under \drupal\sites\all\modules\swftools\shared
make sure you have the following:
swfobject (folder Name)
--swfobject.js
Actually I unzipped the entire contents of the swfobject.zip in there.
good luck.
theFunk
rename player.swf to
rename flash_media_player/player.swf to flash_media_player/mediaplayer.swf and wallahh! and that will make it work!
I had the same problem but thanks to spoetnik who described the correct path and names I was able to correct it.
