Playlist plugin with single clip

Posted: Jun 18, 2009

The playlist plugin in auto mode works only if I have atleast 2 items in my list. (playlists with just 1 item do not work). Can someone please confirm this? Is there a work around?

Put your configuration here in < flowplayer > tags so we can take a look. I've setup a one-item playlist below that seems to work ok.

Flowplayer forum example

HTML setup for the player

<!-- include latest Flowplayer javascript file -->
<script language="javascript" src="path/to/flowplayer-3.2.6.js"></script>

<!-- player container with optional splash image -->
<a href="path/to/video_file" id="playerContainer">
	<img src="path/to/splash_image" />
</a>


JavaScript coding

Following script will install Flowplayer into our player container


<script language="javascript">
// our custom configuration is given in third argument
flowplayer("playerContainer", "path/tohttp://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.7.swf",{
playlist: [{}]
});
</script>

Sorry. I dont know how to get the player to work in the forum editor. Here is my code. Please let me know if you need more info.


<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
 var conf = { playlist: [{url: 'http://www.flowplayer.org/img/demos/national.jpg',
 title: 'Secure Business Mobility',
 html: '',
 autoPlay: true}]}
//]]>
</script>


<flowplayer>
               play: null,    
	
		// clip properties common to all playlist entries
		clip: {
			baseUrl: 'http://blip.tv/file/get',
			subTitle: 'from blib.tv video sharing site',			
            autoPlay: true,
            		
		// our playlist
		playlist: conf.playlist,
		
		// show playlist buttons in controlbar
		plugins: {
		    // here is our rtpm plugin configuration 
            akamai: { 
                url: '/flash/flowplayer/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.0.swf' 
            } ,        
		controls: {
			    autoHide: 'always',
			    hideDelay: 500,
				playlist: true
			}
		}
	});
	
	/*
		here comes the magic plugin. It uses first div.clips element as the 
		root for as playlist entries. loop parameter makes clips play
		from the beginning to the end.
	*/
	$f("player").playlist("div.clips:first", {loop:true});
	//$f("player").autoPlay = false;

</flowplayer>

I don't have any experience with the RTMP plugin so I'm not sure how that makes flowplayer behave differently, and cannot offer any real assistance.

However you might try the following to get yourself started, and let everyone know for more help:
  • try manually inserting the playlist (no external object)
  • try turning playlist:true to false in the controls
  • try enabling the play:null
  • test without RTMP streaming (regular FLVs)

As you can see from my example posted above, even an empty playlist works using regular flowplayer configuration. The addition of the RTMP or your other customizations might be the problem (or cause of a bug).

I found the offending line of code in flowplayer.playlist-3.0.6.js

var manual = self.getPlaylist().length <= 1 || opts.manual;

I had to change this to '< 1'. Now it works with a single item in the playlist.
