Hi

I am at the add content stage of the video tutorial
I added the video (ticked restrict)and tumbnail (not ticked restrict) section to content type

I uploaded a movie.flv clip and tumbnail image

I tryed to add that php code to my editor in the body section

$params[ 'node' ] = $node->nid;
print dashplayer_get_player( $params );
?>

But when i save that it shows

nid; print dashplayer_get_player( $params ); ?>

And viewing the source for that shows:

nid; print dashplayer_get_player( $params ); ?>

Sorry i don't know what to do next

Sounds,
ok, I'll try to field this for you.. (Author is welcomed to adjust if needed)..

First, make sure your input format for the page your trying to create with the php code above is set to PHP. This is located under the text field for Body.. should show a area you can expand that says Input Format. You should see: Filtered HTML, Full HTML, PHP and Plain.. Select PHP.

Then, in the body field enter the following:


<?php
$params['node'] = $node-> nid;
$print dashplayer_get_player( $params );
?}

As for the filesize limit, that is going to be in your php.ini file. You need to search for the upload file size limit of 2M and increase it to something a bit bigger.. Try bumping it to say, 5M or so.. Which will allow posts up to 5 Megs. Should be adequate for most videos. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Ok so i goto Content Management and select content and select the content i created which is Clip1

I click Edit for Clip1 and set the input format to php
I can see the file and image i uploaded above the body;

-

Video Upload: *
clip1.flv
955.22 KB
application/octet-stream

Help Info Here

Video Thumbnail:
Legion.2010.jpg
36.14 KB
image/jpeg

Upload a video thumbnail image for this video

-

I paste the code into the body (after setting the page to Source) 

<?php
$params['node'] = $node-> nid;
$print dashplayer_get_player( $params );
?}

Did you mean ?> not ?}
I tryed both

Then i preview and see;

nid; print dashplayer_get_player( $params ); ?>

Must be doing something wrong

EDIT:

I have Clip1 published on the main page and this is how the info appear;

Video Upload:
clip1.flv

Video Thumbnail:
Legion.2010.jpg

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dfgsgd/public_html/main/includes/common.inc(1685) : eval()'d code on line 4

oops yes, its supposed to be

<?php
$params['node'] = $node-> nid;
$print dashplayer_get_player( $params );
?>

Try this:
highlight and delete the content in your body area first.
then, select input format (php)
then paste the above code in the body. Some editors do not wrap the code and try to condense it, causing some of the issues your seeing when you clicked preview. (Known to happen with WYSIWIG editors like ckeditor and fckeditor).

Can see the Dash Player on the main page, but video doesn't load.

I had to change the code to 

$params['node'] = $node-> nid;
print dashplayer_get_player( $params );

I took out the $ in-front of print.

$params['node'] = $node-> nid;
print dashplayer_get_player( $params );

Also i'm trying to find the php.inc file you reffered to

I deleted Clip1 and gonna create a new content type/video

Ok, when you say your seeing the info, over the dashplayer, but dashplayer isn't playing the video.. lets check this info out to see if this fixes it:

What version of services are you running? Currently, there are varying results using services 6.x-2 branch, reccommended is services 6.x-0.15

Views 3.0 branch has issues with dashplayer as well.. reccommend using views 2.0

Jquery_Update: reccommend using 6.x-1.1 version.

try switching to these and see if it now works for you.

I had the services module installed for some other module,
But i removed it and installed the latest version when i installed dashplayer

Services 6.x-2.0
jQuery Update 6.x-1.1
Views 6.x-2.8

Downgraded to Services 6.x-0.15

I created a new content type called Video test

I log out and goto firefox this time and open the site again
I can see a link on the main page now called Video clip, i have to click that to goto the next page where i see the dashplayer
No video though, isin't the player supose to be visable on the main page?

okay, make sure you run your update.php script, and then when it finishes, try re-opening the page you created and see if the player now works. That *SHOULD* be all you need to do to get it running again.

Only other thing I can think of is, are you running one of the beta players? or the 1.34 version. If it's one of the beta's, you might need to add one line of code to the php.
below the first $params, you may need to add in:
$params['api'] = '2';

This I'm not 100% sure on, Scott may have to chime in on that part. To tell it that you're using the older services module. But hopefully, this will straighten it out.. It took me a while to get it running straight on my site as well, but I also went about creating two players, one for videos and one for mp3's with playlists based on uploaded files to node posts, so my configuration is a little more custom than the "default" setup provided in the tutorial videos. Hopefully this gets you up and running now.

Do i need to be pasting that code into the body of the content type also
Or is that just needed in the content template

<?php
$params['node'] = $node-> nid;
print dashplayer_get_player( $params );
?>

I see, when i paste that code in the Video test content type i get the player on the main page.

So i'm logged out of the site now while viewing.
I see the player on the main page, but no video plays and cant interact with the voting stuff yet.

Thanks for your help

More work on this tomorrow, or i'll just stay up till i get it
Maybe i have a path wrong somewhere in the setup.

My site is installed in a sub folder also caled main
So i set the base url in the dashconfig.xml to mysite.com/main
