Issue Summary
Hello
we have drupal 6.10 installed with the flv media player for drupal 6 installed
we copied jw media player 4.3 to the flv media player module folder,
we installed swfobject_api and copied over the 2 required files to its module folder
now when we add a FLV file to our content the player shows but most of the settings for the player do not functin INCLUDING the embed code which we really need..
so how do we get the embed feature to show the embed code for the flv file .. ?
any help will be appreciated
thanks

I've got this same issue on the latest Drupal and flvmediaplayer install.
#3
Same issue. I have only tried with D6.10, so I've never had it working. Changed category + priority, since it seems like a bug...but it doesn't leave the module unusable.
#4
Attached patch fixes this for me.
#5
sorry. Please ignore previous patch - got my directories the wrong way round. Revised patch attached.
#6
Patch seems to work fine over here!

I changed the data model around a bit in the 6x version which should solve some of these kinds of issues. This does mean running the update script which will hopefully convert your profiles to the new format. Can you test that out and make sure that isn't working for you- it should address the original issue in the ticket.

@arthur: I did run update.php before I applied the patch. Simply running update.php did not help display the embed code.
...I haven't tested anything from cvs, though, just beta3.

@arthur: can you turn on the 6.x-dev releases so that we can stay upto date easier?

I'm having the same issue, the page just comes up blank, like the player wasn't even plugged in. Both the FLV file and SWF file work just fine, I can get the player to show up using php, just not when I use [flvmediamover].
We are trying to get a drupal site up that can have tons of videos by category and we got Media Mover running, XSPF running, but can't get the FLV Media Player working.
Very frustrating.
#11
@darkmetroid: The original issue is about making the embed code for video sharing work, so it might not be of interest to you. Please open post in a different thread, or open a new one (and use firebug to check if the path to your player + skin is correct).
#12
I don't know if this has any relation to the problem, but I was checking the xml file just to double check to see if it's finding my FLV file and the SWF skin. Seems it's all there, just cant figure out why it's not showing up. I saw the area where you can put in a message to people if there is an error with the flash displaying and now that's showing up on my node.
Very odd...
Anyhow, below is my xml that is being created.

So the above XML produces some bugs with the JW (long tail) player because it has some unsupported things in it. The code in CVS right now addresses this issue by separating the configuration data from the display data. I've enabled the dev release on the drupal project page, but it has not updated yet.
#14
patch updated to work with latest CVS code (yes, it does still need patching)
#15
I've modified the patch to use the new data model and theme functions, but the concept is still there. Applied to D5 and D6
