Configuring flowplayer with video module.... [#269309]

Hi,

I've been surfing the forums for information on how to better configure the way flowplayer behaves, but so far I haven't had much luck....

I want to be able to control for instance how much it buffers before playback, autoplay or autoloop and so on.... BUT in particular there is one issue that annoys me: When I view a video node the player will first buffer the clip then play the clip TWICE and then stop. I want to make it buffer it then just play it ONCE.....

What I can't figure out is how do I pass parameters to flowplayer? I am aware of the Video.params.module, but I just don't know how to use it.

Can anybody suggest a course of action, or direct me towards some tangible documentation?

Cheers,
Nic

Additional issue.....

There seems to be an additional issue with the "embedded object parameters" field.... When I submit something like:
<PARAM Name="loop" Value="true" >
It seems to be "cut" when I go back to edit it, like....
<param name="loop" value (the rest is missing?)

A bug? Maybe it related to the fact that it's a dev version?

Hi there, Im experiencing the same problems, quite frustrating. However, I figured out how to change width and height. Go to video module > includes > common file. There override the emty spaces for width and height like this:

// this will be executed by Internet Explorer
$output .= '

object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="458"

I tried different params but they dont work...Im trying to get rid of the fullscreen option but nobody can tell me. At flowplayer forum they only aswer with prefab documentation, which is annoying :-(

Hi...

Yeah the height and width can be done like that. I, however have resorted to the FlashVideo module, even thought it originally was intended mainly to be used together with the FFmpeg conversion application, it works great for my use. I use it together with Jerome Wijering's flash player. It is different from the video module thought as it works on any cck type. It relies on the standard Upload module to work.....

Hi, so are you still using drupal video module, together with Flash video module? Or just Flash video with Jeroen Weijerink flash player? Is that automatically upload or do you need a script for every video upload? I need a full content video upload system cuz I cannot expect my staff to deal with scripting and manual uploading.
