Howdy!

I am creating a Site which involves a lot of Video content, and there is one thing i can't figure out (or is not implemented):

There is the Videonode, which contains information about the film. With Views, the uploaded Video in the node is displayed as block on the right sidebar.
So left side text, right side video.

The problem is:
Lets say I Upload Video1 and Video2 for that node, how do i get it to display Video1 AND Video2 in the Views block?
I am using the Flash Video Field in the Views block to display.
Adding a second Flash Video Field offers me no options to grab Video2 (ID for example), so in the end the block just displays Video1 twice.

Would be nice if someone could give me a hint.

Thanks in advance,

DK

Hi

Has noone an idea or maybe a workaround?

If not thanks anyways, guess it's just not possible.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and haven't heard a response either. I would think there would be some parameters for the [video] tag, but the docs for this module are pretty sparse and I can't find any info on tag parameters.

Guys,

I just started to play with the video module. I think it will handle multiple video per node. Still playing with it. Attached 2 video files and it does show up. I created a block view and it seems to be showing all videos. Good Luck.

Mark,

Can you tell us how you got both videos to show up? I've tried uploading two videos and if I put in two [video] tags in the body of the node, it just shows the first video twice. There must be some parameter settings for the [video] tag that would allow you to reference the two videos, but I can't find any docs on this tag. (I assume this is a proprietary tag to flashvideo, but maybe I'm wrong)

It turns out there's a help file for the flashvideo module that tells how to do this. You can find it at: admin/help/flashvideo

Here's how to index more than one video:

index - This is used to reference a video when multiple videos have been provided for each node. If no node parameter is specified, then this will reference the node in which the tag resides. Example: [video: index=0] would reference the first video uploaded to that node, while [video: index=1] would reference the second video uploaded to that node.

Django,

I would recommend using this module drupal.org/project/video. I have abandoned using flash after seeing using this module. It is very straight forward. You can upload several videos on 1 node and all will show. Integrates nicely with Views.

You will need to use SWFTools as well.

Thank you,

Mark

I may have to give video another try. I used that one first, but found it really complicated to install/configure.

With flashvideo, I tried uploading two videos and indexing them with [video: index=0] and [video: index=1] and I still get the first video twice -- very disappointing. If I could just get this one thing to work, I think flashvideo would work fine for me.

I do agree with you but, it seems the video module has been revamped. I just enabled the module set a few settings moved the scheduler to root and setup a cron job, enabled swftools, installed flowplayer, created my cck file widget video, give the parameter settings and viola.
