First….congratulations…its ALMOST perfect !
Questions:
1)
Can you post an full example of the config XML ? (or mail it to me)
2)
Can i config the colors of the controlbar (in XML) ? (needed to match to webpage)
(bar-back,buttons,slider,indicators,timer,text) ..Specially…can i do all colors ?..
(not just one where the second color will be a gradient/shading from the other) ?
3)
In the example …in playlist on rightside i dont see marked which video is currently playing can you add that ? (highlight titte or thumbnail)
4)
In the example… the playlist is not advanced or centered when a next video is played
ie: when the next video is outside of the shown part of the playlist…you will not even see it in the list…Can you make it such that the current video is always shown in the center of the playlist ? (playlist scrolls so current thumbnail is center…unless overruled by manual scrolling…centered again when next video starts)
5)
Can you instead of the ““REPEAT” button have 2 buttons:
PREVIOUS [<<] and NEXT [>>] that is more usefull and wont need you to
call up the playlist first in order to play a next or previous video.
6)
In the example-player …i see strong pixelizing (stretching ?)
when playlist is not shown.
Why is that so ?...and can i set it to not happen ?
(In practice i will play mostly the fixed size for youtube 16:9 size)
7)
What is currently your logic…of choosing Youtube video-quality ?
1080HD, 720HD, 480, 360 ? In source of example page i see “‘high” which is that ?
8)
Related to question 7:
[HD-ON/OFF] button ..this is the most important feature that all Youtube-APi-player
designers allways forget ..and without it you cant have a player on a website that will work good for everyone (with slow or fast connections).
If you have a fixed 720HD choise..it will cause problems for those with a slower connection…they will get breaks in the video.
If you have a fixed chooise lower then 720Hd (480 or 360) the quality will not be
HD so it will not play best quality for those that have connection that will allow it.
So we have a problem.
Therefore you need a HD toggle switch…like this:
HD=“ON” will get 720HD (if available..if not next quality below 720)
HD=“OFF” will get 480 (if available..if not next below)
The current choise remains the same for the whole playlist
This button should be on the control bar.
(i will be happy to graphically design it for you)
8)
YOUTUBE-LOGO ...with link-trough.
In your example i dont see that…since obviously these videos are not Youtube
(maybe usefull to include also youtube-videos in your demo ? its a Youtube-player !)
I need to have a Youtube-logo with link-trough to the current Youtube-video because of their T.O.S. without it the could block my page website.
9)
The size of the playlist thumbnails (mostly the height)
or the room between them …can that be changed ? or can you make that setable
currently there’s a lot of unused space..and i need to fit in more thumbnails.
10)
If you do not plan to do any of above soon ..could you do them as a customize for me ?
a* How long will that take ?
a* At what price ?
You can PM me on that.
A lot of questions…but they come from someone with a lot of experience
who has seen (and tried) probably all Youtube players on the net…and has not found the perfect one yet…as said…you are close.
I hope you can answer me soon.
Thanks !

HI!
Congratulations for this wonderful player! The design amazed me!
I’m looking for a long time, a player with YouTube and related videos. Finally I found it. As a bonus besides what I wanted, I noticed that it has banner support.
Regarding Share option: Do I have included the file that handles the email sending?
# / posted on Apr 28, 2010 -
Hello!
First of all, thank you for your kind words.
Yes, a php file which will take the data from the share form and will send the email is included.
Let me know if you need additional information
# / posted on Apr 28, 2010

One more thing. In XML file you can even modify/translate the text contained by the email. Just modify <mailContent> property

just to be sure… it plays youtube and my videos (not from Youtube) as well?
# / posted on Apr 28, 2010 -
Yes, it plays.
In the examples that we posted, the first movie and the fourth movie in the playlist are not form YouTube. The rest are all from YouTube

Is it also possible to add this on stage using AS3?
I want to use it in a flash project and add it with addchild(x). Is it possible to do this with this player?
# / posted on Apr 28, 2010 -
The player can be used in HTML or FLASH projects.
Yes, it is possible to add the player on stage using AS3. The script is quite simple:
var myPlayer:player_v1 = new player_v1();
addChild(myPlayer);

Hello
Wonderful Component, Well Done!
I’m looking to move the top banner to the left and set it to a fixed height and width.
While everything is exceptionally well commented, I’m something of a noob with flash.
I’m currently using CS3, and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
J

Hello!
Thanks for your words of appreciation.
It needs quite some programming to move the banner from the top to the left do to the show/hide playlist option and fullscreen option.
Now, from XML you can modify: – banner height which is now <bannerHeight>90</bannerHeight> – show banner: true or false
The banner width is set when you adjust the player width, because as you’ve seen you can resize the player from XML
Regards.

Can you set a separate play list for the related fields? For example I want the related play list to come from another feed. How do I do that?
# / posted on May 02, 2010

Hello alexious,
I’ve updated our player. Please just download it again from your account.
Now, OPTIONAL you can define your own list of related videos. The list should have the same structure as playlist.xml.
If you don’t want to define your own list of related videos, the related panel will be automatically generated from the movies having the same category as the current movie.
Regards.

Is it possible to customize the player’s control/buttons like rewind, play etc in CSS or will I have to do flash programming ?
# / posted on May 05, 2010

You can change the buttons from Flash->Library.
The other aspects like: playlist background color, categories color, categories mouse over color, the color for the frame around the playlist image, playlist width, related color and dimensions can be set from XML

You mean there are multiple skins/assets that you ship the product with and I can change it ?
# / posted on May 05, 2010

We provide in the download zip file 2 different controllers (skins) already made by us. Please see Example 1 and Example 2. If you need other controllers (skin) you just modify it in Library

I need to have multiple playlists in different html file. How do I pass the playlist
and player setting xml file name to the player in html as flashvars ? It
seems the player swf is hardwired to get the play list from the same
directory ?
# / posted on May 06, 2010

The playlist path is defined in player settings xml file <xmlVideoPath>your_path/your_playlist.xml</xmlVideoPath>
If you want to use this player in multiple html pages and load different playlists, you have to make different folders where you put the swf file and playersettings.xml. In each folder you modify in playersettings.xml the path to your new playlisst.xml
# / posted on May 06, 2010

That’s what I was worried I may have to do – a cleaner approach would be to pass arguments into the flashvars in the html and have the player setting & playlist file be configurable, so we don’t have to copy the swf file around. In my case I could end up with 10 instances of swf loaded by the browser!
Also is there a way to specify a default category in the flashvars ? That way I can for each page use the same player just change the default category for each page ?
# / posted on May 06, 2010

Yes, you can specify the default movie and category using FlashVars.
For example
http://www.flashcomponents.net/upload/samples/6009/player_v4.php?htmlK=0&htmlCateg=Adventure – this loads first movie in the “Adventure” category
http://www.flashcomponents.net/upload/samples/6009/player_v4.php?htmlK=0&htmlCateg=Animation – this loads first movie in the “Animation” category
# / posted on May 06, 2010

as a further explanation the vars are:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/upload/samples/6009/player_v4.php?htmlK=0&htmlCateg=Adventure
htmlCateg – the default category
htmlK – the number of the movie in the specified category that you want to load

When I specify a movie in playlist it appears by default the path is relative to the directory from where swf was fecthed. Is it possible to specify an absolute path on the server relative to the webroot for e.g.
/ — /video/foo.mp4 — /swf/player_4.swf
In playlist
<record> <movie>/video/foo.mp4</movie>
doesn’t work as it tries to get /swf/video/player_4.swf
