Basics of Configuration Configuration - Demo 1 / 8

Introduction

Here is a common configuration where we the playback stops at the first frame of the video and starts buffering the video data into memory. This is the way to go when you have tons of videos for your site and making a splash image for all of them is too much.

HTML coding

Just a simple player container.

<a 
	href="http://flowplayer.org/video/flowplayer-700.flv" 
	style="display:block;width:425px;height:300px;" 
	id="player">
</a>

JavaScript coding

This is the first configuration demo and we recommend that you read our configuration documentation if you want to understand more what is happening here.

flowplayer("player", "/swf/flowplayer-3.1.3-dev.swf",  {
	clip: {
		
		// these two configuration variables does the trick
		autoPlay: false, 
		autoBuffering: true // <- do not place a comma here  
	}
});

We used two clip properties here.
