Change FLV "play" to use FlowPlayer

Hi there, im glad i found this module, but as a flash developer myself i have to question why you guys would like to go the ming route?

Flash is an open format as is, even tho it´s mainly owned by Macromedia, the swf format is already open, and ming is still pure flash it´s just using a different way of generating the swf files, you´ll get far more support and development going for this module by keeping to regular swf files (keeping to the flashmx authoring environment in other words) not to mention that flashplayer 8 is about to be released and it has some stunning new video features which would be a shame to see this module miss out on.

So going the ming route is a lesser good choice in my opinion.
With that said, keeping with the flashmx authoring application would ensure that people like me can develop and release more player´s for this module and im sure there´ll bee plenty of fla´s for the drupal community aswell so they can alter the players to their own liking.

Anyway, nice work so far.

glad to see you decided to go with flow instead

Yeah we will not use ming anymore.
We are going to use for our module flowplayer
which is an opensource (apache licence) flv player.

an excellent choice :)

I just add support for Flowplayer.
Simply change cvs video.module (version 1.8) file with the one attached
to this post.
Then get latest version of flowplayer (tested with 0.9.4) and decompress
it to the drupal root.

I added two functions for using flowplayer:
_video_get_filename() and _video_get_fileurl().
Both of them works good here but I wasn't able to test them
on different environments than mine (linux + apache 1.3 + php4.4)
so I didn't move this to cvs.

Please try new changes and functions and feel free to commit to cvs if they works.
If you want to commit please also update INSTALL.txt infos too.

Note:
In two days I will go holiday so I will not able to access my computers.
If you need support or everything else please go to drupal support forum!

Committed to cvs.
