I was using an ancient flowplayer release and when I came to upgrade, found this module, and it greatly simplifies the task of adding videos to site. Thanks!

I wish there was a default configuration page. In my site, I'd like all videos to not autoplay, and to autobuffer (this also has the effect of displaying the first frame in the video).

I ended up invoking all videos display using a custom function, but I think it will be great if (at least some of) the options would be exposed in a config page.

Adding Autoplay and Autobuffer options to the configuration are great ideas!

Can you tell me where the instructions are for telling the flash module t use the flowplayer? I am stumped?

Title: Default configuration » Autoplay and Autobuffer in the config options

I haven't any experience with the Flash module. Which one is that?

Any timelines on autoplay/autobuffer in the config options ... I have posted in a different thread on this and still unable to manually get the player to stop playing on loading a page. Otherwise GREAT module!!

This worked for me:
theme('flowplayer', array(
'clip' => array(
'url' => $video,
'autoPlay' => FALSE, // Turn autoplay off
'autoBuffering' =>TRUE,
),
),
$id, array(
'style' => "width: $width; height: $height",
));

I'm not sure these should appear in the global Flowplayer configuration, as you might want the video to autoplay when looking at a full node, you wouldn't want it to autoplay when looking at the teasers of multiple nodes. Autobuffering might be a good candidate here though.

Sweet!

Having a global config is a good start.

This patch works nicely.

While it could use more fine-grained options it is more likely that those who want autoplay turned on by default are a minority compared to the people who want autoplay turned off by default.

Hi, Im using this for audio and video. The video it doesn't autoplay but the audio it does, how do I turn this off as I looked in the flowplayer.module and saw that it says false for each Autoplay command.

Thanks, sorry if that sounded very noob
