Issue Summary
Does this player work if the web hosting provider do not support ffmpeg streaming? My hosting provider does not support ffmpeg streaming.
I think I installed dash media player correctly. If ffmpeg is not a problem, then I should be getting playlist of videos. I see the player but don't see the playlist. The playlist also has the video name listed but does not play the video. As per the instructions, I created video content type and uploaded video on that content type. I assume that the playlist will automatically put that video in playlist. Is there any other way to upload video for the player?
I also didn't understand following statement in the instruction on page (http://www.tmtdigital.com/node/45):
"You can now use the parameter "playlist=videos" whenever you are embedding the video in your page... "
How do I use the parameter playlist=videos?
Sorry, I am trying to make it work with my limited knowledge. Please suggest.

sarmiluv,
Sorry I didn't make my tutorial more clear. Whenever I say "use playlist=videos", I am really meaning for you to include that with the parameters that are passed to the player using the $params array. For example, you would provide the following to set the playlist to videos...
<?php$params['width'] = 652;
$params['height'] = 432;
$params['playlist'] = 'videos';
print dashplayer_get_player($params);
?>
Also, you do not need FFMPEG to use this player on your site. You can pre-convert the videos and then attach them as FLV files and it should work just fine. Let me know if you need any more help.
Thanks,
Travis.
