JW FLV Media Player & Playlists

[dannyjay]

Anyone had any dealings with this?

 

I've got it playing singular files, but can't seem to get the playlist to work to play a selection of songs in a folder!

 

Any ideas?

 

Or do you have any suggestions of better embedded players?

 

Thanks,

Dan.

Doesn't it just use an xml file? In which case it should be a piece of p***

 

The documentation is quite good if i remember rightly

[dannyjay]

I've got the .XML file - but code spins me out so I havn't a clue what to do to pick it up!

 

And is the player supposed to have the playlist onscreen so you can pick what song you want etc?

[mattmoo]

No i don't think it works in that way its just a media player, although you could write some javascript to change the xml file i am sure.

 

However, if you cant write XML then javascript is probably out of the question. I am sure you can find a player where you drop the songs in a directory and it creates a playlist you can select from on the fly.

And i use the following options on the flash player

 

<br />
var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','mpl','470','290','9');<br />
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');<br />
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');<br />
so.addParam('flashvars','&file=http://jacknet.co.uk/playlist.xml&autostart=true&playlist=bottom');<br />
so.write('player');<br />
