A contest and a chance to win 3 commercial licenses. Created Dec 2, 2008

OK, this isn't a submission, but rather a vote of interest in a set of flowplayer plugins that would allow developers to create a non-technical solution so that end users could log in and create something like this:

http://www.therocketship.org/vizangelist.html

The pieces aren't all there yet, like the mp3 plugin that I hear is due out soon, but Flowplayer would be a great platform to build something like this in.

What I envision is an interface where users are able to build their playlist while listening to an mp3 by stopping the mp3 at key points and dragging images or typing text for a content plugin into a textbox.

The icing on the cake would be the ability to choose a point in the mp3 to 'end' the slideshow and auto fade out the volume on the last image.

Anyway, another idea to shoot for if the demos haven't already sparked your creativity.

Well considering know one else has entered I'll throw mine in, though Its not quite done.

Server is running Nginx + the flowplayer Pseudostreaming plugin.

Here's a streamed flv in flowplayer using the expose feature with onStart/expose and onFinish/unexpose.

Here's a 720p F4V/AAC in flowplayer. Note the f4v type can not be streamed by nginx yet. But I'm looking into it.

Its nothing too fancy just big and clean. I'm guessing we'll see some pretty amazing setups. Hopefully this post will help get things rolling.

If anyone needs the nginx conf or the flowplayer query I used give a shout.

a community site for doctors and patients, just a simple implementation of Flowplayer

OK, this is my actual submission. The video player in the inside pages is configured to play the videos in the order of the playlist the first time through and then randomize the videos on each subsequent visit to the page. We've also added two playlists to each video, one above the player to show the title and one below the player to show the visible playlist.

We also used Flowplayer for the gallery on the Outstanding Newspapers page.

Thanks for these exciting entries to our competition! We are hoping for more competitors to join, there's plenty of time still left to build your pages and sites.

It's based on the captions demo, I added a JavaScript toggle button to turn on/off subtitles. I kinda 'put aside' on completing this video player, because I didn't like onCuePoints using whole numbers for seconds. I needed to use fractions of a second like 23.331, 23.859, in order for subtitles/captions to be synced consistently with audio/video dialogue.

I wanted to use subtitles with fractions of a second, and later make a VB tool to convert SRT, SSA, and ASS into FlowPlayer's format. Anyways, enjoy my work! :D

Scroll down for the video samples.
Just submitted for its potential aesthetic merits -- you be the judge!

Also: new clients' page: (trying to make the player match the site look)

This competition is still open! Submit your entries and there is a BIG change you will win.

Since you guys added miliseconds for onCuePoints, I finished my SRT to FlowPlayer captions tool. :) SRT captions are the same used by YouTube and tons of other subtitle software support it as well!

Check it out!

Unfortunately, if your computer can't process the video fast enough, onCuePoints tends to skip some subtitles, I haven't figured out what to do about that! I had to round off the miliseconds to deciseconds to get mine displaying 90% of the time! :P

Right, I think the player aspect of the new website is now ready. You can check out a link here:

http://www.fightnightlive.co.uk/video-55/fight-2.html

Main features:

pre-roll ads
- controls disabled
- use of events to trigger information to use (content plugin)
- use of animate() to show/hide info
- clickable URL
Main video
- website makes 3 versions - Lq flv, Hq flv and HD h264/mp4. no HD videos on there yet though
- use of events to rehide the controls onfinsh and let the user know theres a postroll
Advertisements
- video skin unit behind player (uses DB on site's script to pull one)
- pre-roll videos (clickable) pulled from DB
- post-roll video (clickable) pulled from DB

I could also have added content ads, but they only sell on a CPC basis (cost per click) which is too much work (tracking etc.)

I think my example shows flowplayer 'pimped out' as much as a commercial site could want. Plenty of ad space per video to sell, without losing the users attention. Counting down to the content plays a BIG part in this (ty for help with this Tero & Api )

The rest of the site is still being made, I only added the Ajax commenting system yesterday for example and I still haven't properly tested in IE yet.... :-)

EDIT ----------

I've actually removed the pre-rolls/post-rolls and video skin ads until after Christmas, as Im visiting family and don't actually have any advertisers yet... I'll enable them all around the 28th when I'm back so the judges can properly judge etc :P

Ok so here's my entry:

Recently updated word press plugin, at the time of writing a simple php wrapper.

Currently aiming for a 2.0.1.0 milestone release to add 5 major enhancements.

http://saiweb.co.uk/wordpress-flowplayer

Wordpress page:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/word-press-flow-player/

TRAC:http://trac.saiweb.co.uk/saiweb

2.0.1.0 milestone:http://trac.saiweb.co.uk/saiweb/milestone/wordpress-flowplayer%202.0.1.0

Version 2.x of the plugin integrates with the wordpress 2.7 admin menu (Should also work on previous version wordpress with the exception of some CSS layout).

2.0.0.67 brought the admin menu and flowplayer 3.0.1.

2.0.1.0 Aims to bring:

1) Extended admin menu to allow the editing of player colours.
2) Google analytics detections and integration.
3) Additiona of more options to the admin menu (loop, slash image etc..)
4) Integration into the wordpress editor adding a 'button' icon to the wordpress editor to aid in easy video embeds
5) Add 'http' detection to allow embeding of off site media.

I have also now opened up the TRAC system so a generic login may be used (no need to register) to ease the bug reporting / feature requesting procedure.

This contest is now closed. We will select 3 best solutions and inform them personally and add a commercial license to their account. Winners will also be mentioned in

http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/

front page. This will take 1-2 weeks to happen.

Thank you for participating! Keep on doing good stuff.
