It's probably not limited to FP, but after hours of searching, I have the impression that pseudo streaming is kind of dead. All the server-side software are either outdated or completly gone. It seems to date back to the introduction by Adobe of a weird policy requirements.

Is it still possible to have pseudo streaming working on a modern server?

TIA

I'll be interested in the answer too :)

I then tried with jwplayer and have got working in 5 minutes what I couldn't have with FP in two days. Outch :(
There's definitly a FP-related problem here, probably at the flash level.

I can send you a complete archive of my project if you want to study the problem.

If my understanding is correct, "api" field is populated when flash triggers a "onLoad" event. It seems that doesn't happen for me (I only have "onBeforeLoad").

I wonder what could prevent flash from triggering that event and still be playing the video...

Thanks for your answer.

The player is loaded and playing. As for the sample, I just copied the pagehttp://flowplayer.org/demos/installation/index.htm to my local server.

I'm puzzled, it's probably related to my configuration, but what exactly?

Hi

I'm starting a new project and I tried to use FP with JS API. The player appears and starts the video, however the JS calls are not working ; for example $f().getTime() returns an object instead of integer.
I've tracked the problem down to isLoaded() returning always false because "api" always being null.
I'm using FP (swf + js) downloaded yesterday on a basic sample html, with both latest Chrome and latest FF.

Please tell me if I can fix it very quickly I have to decide today if my project will use FP (my choice) or JWplayer.

Thanks

Seems to be a bug in 3.2.7, I reverted to 3.2.2 and it's working fine again.

Hi

At first I thought it was jQuery incompatibility but I revert to jQuery 1.4.2, so it's something else...

I'm installing FP like this:

var player = flowplayer("player", "/path/to/flowplayer.swf");

then I start the first video with:

$f().play(url);

The first time the video plays ok; if I run it again, nothing is played, whatever it's same url or not.

What am I doing wrong???

TIA

Hello. Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find anything.

It seems FP is incompatible with the current jquery, which my site is using. Is it possible to "isolate" a old version of jquery with FP so I can have FP in my site?

TIA

Bonjour

Que voudriez-vous avoir en français ? la documentation ? le code lui-même est en anglais (impossible de contourner ça) mais les parties visibles côté navigateur sont en général modifiables par css.

So I found no solution among the documentation on the site. The closest things is "combined streams" but I don't use a streaming server and the "start" parameter doesn't seem to work on regular files. Instreams movies are also no what I need.
It seems that FP just can't do that :(

good idea! the playlist may be generated by php which could probably read the file's info... thanks :)

>Flowplayer can only no the metadata of each clip when it starts to read it
This is a good point... do you know of any javascript tool which could give me the duration of a given movie?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I don't want to merge the files since the order will change each time they are played.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried the possibility you mentioned; the problem is I need to specify the durations. I'd prefer not to, but if it's the only way I'll use that.

For the search box, it seems it searches only the website; I've been trying various search terms with no hits on the forums.
