Have seen some threads lately about that... Let me see if I can find those...

Here it goes... 

Hope that helps.

That thread is about the DesignIT Video Embed which uses urls to embed videos.

Is it possible to use that datatype with flv or any other vide format?

Otherwise I use the EndForwardFlvPlayer but then I get that problem with multiple videos..

I'd recommend using flowplayer with the playlist plugin.  Then it's as simple as adding videos to the media library and using a multiple media picker to select more than one, then some xslt to write out a list of links to the movie files.  Flowplayer does the rest

That implementation of flowplayer looks awesome! Would be nice to see the code behind ;)

Ive used your videoplayer before, Bob and now that you have extended the package with multiple videos its even better :)

Thanks for your help!

Hi again!

Bob: Is it possible in some way to use your simpe video player to play multiple videos the same way the external does?

I also tried out your externalvideo that you said is ablee to play multiple videos without conflict but when I add two videos the both disappear?

I tried to try a solution:

Since the problem seems to be that there is multiple identical id I try to make dynamic id:s in the xslt file

<xsl:if test="$vidToPlay != '' ">
<xsl:variable name="showMe" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($vidToPlay/node/@id, 0)/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']" />
 <h3><xsl:value-of select="$vidHeader"/></h3>
<div id="<xsl:value-of select="$showMe"/>">
 <script type="text/javascript">
   var mttVid1 = new SWFObject("/media/283/player_flv_maxi.swf", "flashVid", "<xsl:value-of select="$vidW"/>", "<xsl:value-of select="$vidH"/>", "9", "#FFFFFF");
   mttVid1.addParam("FlashVars", "flv=<xsl:value-of select="$showMe"/>&amp;showfullscreen=1");
   mttVid1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
   mttVid1.write("<xsl:value-of select="$showMe"/>");  
 </script>
</div>
</xsl:if>

But I get an error div id. How can I make this work?

Hi,

<div><xsl:attribute name="id">vid-<xsl:value-of select="$showMe"/></xsl:attribute></div>

should resolve the duplicate div id error.

But, I'm little surprised why you're using the file name of the media item as the div id value? I'd rather go with the id of the media item, will be unique for each media item.

Cheers,

okay, you are very close...

for your divID -- i typically use a static name appended with the node id of the media file... with the { } syntax

<div id ="myVideo{$vidToPlay}">

you also need to use that variable in your var mttVid1 refrences as well...

var= mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>

and refrence that throughout the rest of that javascript chunk... this keeps all your refrences unique for multiple players on the page

and finish the script out with
mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>.write ("myVideo<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>");

that should set you up for using multiple instances on the same page.

Got error: Identifier expected:

Syntax error?

<div id ="myVideo{$vidToPlay}">
 <script type="text/javascript">
   var = mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/> = new SWFObject("/media/283/player_flv_maxi.swf", "flashVid", "<xsl:value-of select="$vidW"/>", "<xsl:value-of select="$vidH"/>", "9", "#FFFFFF");
   mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>.addParam("FlashVars", "flv=<xsl:value-of select="$showMe"/>&amp;showfullscreen=1");
   mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
   mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>.write("myVideo<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay"/>");  
 </script>
</div>

Solved it "temporarily":

<div id ="myVideo{$vidToPlay/node/@id}">
 <script type="text/javascript">
   var mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay/node/@id"/> = new SWFObject("/media/283/player_flv_maxi.swf", "flashVid", "<xsl:value-of select="$vidW"/>", "<xsl:value-of select="$vidH"/>", "9", "#FFFFFF");
   mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay/node/@id"/>.addParam("FlashVars", "flv=<xsl:value-of select="$showMe"/>&amp;showfullscreen=1");
   mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay/node/@id"/>.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
   mttVid<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay/node/@id"/>.write("myVideo<xsl:value-of select="$vidToPlay/node/@id"/>");  
 </script>
</div>

The only problem now is that in explorer, if I ´reload the page or move away and go back the player is just a black dot...?

i Finally got all working by using the jwlplayer-based package endforwardFlvPlayer. I switch to that swf-file and then it worked!
