Drupal 6 embedding video with player controls
Seb Bat - April 24, 2009 - 09:37
Hi everyone, just like to say that i have been trying to insert a flash video with controls on a test site.
The video is hosted by my webhost and i have tried various options ie flashvideo, SWF Tools, video filter, dashplayer, flowplayer etc with no success.
Has anybody had any success at this?
Thanks
Seb
I know how to upload flash
I know how to upload flash video ..but what is "with controls" ?
"The video is hosted by my webhost" means your video is already uploaded to the host?
what is the video format? flv?
if the video is a flv video, u can upload as a normal file and add the file path to the video player.
if the video is NOT a flv video, u can use the module flashvideo to upload the file and convert it by ffmpeg.
what player u are using?
good luck.
We go the drupal way. How about you?

The video is already uploaded
The video is already uploaded to the host.
The format is flv.
With controls i mean play, pause, stop etc.
Have tried uploading it with flashvideo bit can't see it.
Have used videofilter but it doesn't work my onw url.
How do you add the file path to the video player?

I've had great success with swftools-- but i've not used it with already uploaded flv files. Though I would think you could still do it with the filter it provides. Another option might be able to use http://drupal.org/project/emfield.

Have you had great success
Have you had great success with swftools in Drupal 6?
Have tried it but can't get it to work?! I upload the flv but i can't see anything!
Is this module actually working on Drupal 6?

Yes-- i only use d6 these days. I'm using the current release at http://drupal.org/project/swftools. Be sure to read the documentation and follow the installation instructions-- there's more to installing this module then simply enabling the swftools modules.
