I'm trying to understand what you've installed. From what I gather, you're uploading the flv video to the node as an attachment. You need to configure xspf_playlist to use the node file attachments. Then you need to set flvmediaplayer to use xspf playlist per node. Then you should be good to go.

In fact it's what i did. Configure the flvplayer and the xspf_playlist and i just get a link with the name of the file. Is there anything else that i have to install ?
Thanx a lot for answering.

Did you download the flashplayer? Also, go to http://yoursite/xspf/node/NID where NID is the node id of the node you're looking at. You need to see that the xpsf playlist is being generated.

Yes i had uploaded the player in the directory flvmediaplayer and it was named mediaplayer.swf.
But, when i try to attempt the url you specify i got a not found page. replace the NID by the number of my Node (I did not make a maistake, did I?)… So … Maybe the explanation can be there … ?

Sounds like maybe you didn't install xspf_playlist or don't have it configured right. You may also want to post a url so I can look at the page source to see what's going on

Well, i tried to understand : there are 3 things to install > 1. FLV media Player 2. xspf 3. swfobject_api. This last thing causes a pb while i get this error : "warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/httpd/vhosts/sitajour.com/httpdocs/test/modules/swfobject_api/swfobject_api.module on line 137."? ANd even i try to make the xspf playlidt working, it does not.
Can you tell us if there is some code to add to any page (template, node.tpl or inside the node, or smoething else ?).
Thank u :)

Hi-

There is no code you need to add to your templates- this system works on configuration only. You do need both the xspf_playlist and the swfobject_api modules which are listed in the module's dependencies.

Can you point me to a url so that I can investigate what is going on? It's a bit hard to know without seeing what's happening.

the pb is that the website is protected for the moment.
I started again and only installed the module flvmediaplyer. Then in the Panel Module i can't active it because it is said that Swfobject_api and Xspf_playlist are not there.
I really don't understand anything …

Hi-

The FLV Media Player requires xspf_playlist and swfobject_api. You need to install both of those modules, as well as download the swfobject.js file so everything can work together.

OK. I send you a message with information to go on the website. Hope we'll find the solution and we'll explain it there :)

The problem has been solved with tha absolutey helpfull intervention of Arthurf.
We have (for the newbie) to be careful with the incompatibility between dev versions of modules :)

I have all 3 modules installed, have videos playing etc. I can go to http://mysite/xspf/node/NID and see the playlist.

Here is the scenerio with two .flv videos uploaded. When I go to view the videos they player does not show a playlist. It plays the two videos one after another but how do I get the playlist to show?

OK... problem fixed... I didn't have any deminsions to the playlist... (lame).

arthurf commented

Wow, ok, sounds like there needs to be a default value in there. I'll put that into the next release.

Yeah, I asked a question before I had prpperly played with all the settings...Pretty sad I know but yes a defualt may keep you from having to answer lame questions.

On another note... what is the easiest way to add thumbnails when there is more than one video? For one video I use the flashvars image variable.

arthurf commented

If you're using xspf_playlist, that will handle the thumbnail for you, otherwise, you're stuck with the flashvars variable. I haven't quite figured out if there's a reasonable way to do it programatically.
