XSLT

I'm having some problems with mediacurrent in xslt, In my flash player it renders the url link but with the file type and size attributes. It renders something like /media/7299/blah_blah.swfswf172228.

Ive tried changing the variable name with getmeda as below, but still no luck..

<xsl:variable name="videopath" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='Video'], 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>

Any suggestions? Below is the rest of my code and im using umbraco 4.6.1

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
  <xsl:variable name="videopath" select="/macro/video"/>
  <xsl:variable name="videowidth" select="/macro/width"/>
  <xsl:variable name="videoheight" select="/macro/height"/>
  
<!-- ============================================================= -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="flashy"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var flashvars = {};
    var params = {
    quality: "best",
    bgcolor: "#000000",
    allowfullscreen: "true",
    wmode: "transparent"
    };
    var attributes = {};
    swfobject.embedSWF(
    "<xsl:value-of select="$videopath" />",
    "flashy",
    "<xsl:value-of select="$videowidth" />",
    "<xsl:value-of select="$videoheight" />",
    "5.0.0",
    "/harrodsstore/Flash/expressInstall.swf",
    flashvars,
    params,
    attributes);    
  </script>
</xsl:template>

Hi Graeme.

Try something like this:
```
<xsl:value-of select="$videopath/umbracoFile" />
```
The $videopath contains the entire XML of the media node, så you need to grab the path to the file from that variable. Are you using the new XML schema?

Hi Kim, i just tried what you posted and the url field is now empty? i think I am using the new xml schema

var flashvars = {};
var params = {
quality: "best",
bgcolor: "#000000",
allowfullscreen: "true",
wmode: "transparent"
};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF(
"", <--- url should be here --->
"flashy",
params,
attributes);

Hi,

For whatever reason, when you use the mediaCurrent parameter type, it returns the media XML wrapped in another element according to it's type, such as <Image> or <File>

So to access the properties, you need to use:
```
<xsl:value-of select="$videopath/File/umbracoFile" />
```
(replacing /File/ with whatever the alias of the MediaType you are using - or you can just use $videoPath/*/umbracoFile)

Hope this helps,
Tom
