Hello world plugin example on the site is not working...

Posted: Mar 2, 2011

I got job to develop some new plugins for FP, and i started from hello world example on this site:

http://flowplayer.org/documentation/developer/writing-flash-plugins.html

And first of all, the provided hello world example on the site is not working. All i see is just black screen, and i suppose that i should see some "hello world" letters or something? Even when i press "run" i still don't get anything, not even the video playing(??)

Ok, never mind. I started working on my first hello world plugin that i want to use as plugin template for all other my plugins, but it is not working, although i've done everything "by the book" and i got BUILD SUCCESSFUL from ANT. All i see the same thing: black screen and no video...

Also, is it possible that some plugins may stop working when updating to new version of FP?

And, in flash development setup section
http://flowplayer.org/documentation/developer/development-environment.html

In some places you say that we need to copy controls into "controls" folder, and later you say that controls plugin should be in "flowplayer.controls" folder. Which one of these 2 conventions should we follow?

When you upgrade flowplayer you should also upgrade all plugins.

When we release a new flowplayer there can be some plugin API changes and you should check that your custom plugin still works.

I personally have the controls plugin in a folder called "controls". But if you modify the .properties files accordingly you can also have it in a different folder.
