Migrating from Flowplayer 2 to 3?

Posted: Dec 29, 2008

Guys,

Is there any good documentation for folks migrating from Flowplayer 2.x to Flowplayer 3?

I'm tinkering with it now, but it seems that every HTML file already setup to use 2.x is going to have to be totally rewritten.

Any advice?

I would download Flowplayer v3, and play with the html example file that comes with it. It has minimum coding and setup in it, so it's easy to modify. I used that example to change the things I've wanted changed, and that's how I migrated from v2 to v3.

Hi Tony,

Depending on how you had your previous site, some simple bits of PHP could really help with the changeover. You can use includes that are common to all your video pages. This way, any changes you make will be reflected on all pages.

There's even more dynamic ways of doing this, but they will change the structure of your site drastically.

As James mentioned, the new setup of V3 is extremely simple but without seeing more of your site it's hard to comment.
