  Glad to know it’s working, wat. I actually tested it myself with Google Reader and the poster image is working fine after I turn on hotlinking for google.com. For those of you using .htaccess to protect hotlinking, be sure to turn it off for popular RSS aggregator such as Google Reader, Bloglines etc.

  And Lawrence, I don’t really get your question but what I can tell you is that the FLV Player does not detect user’s connection speed thus it cannot do smart buffering i.e. buffer for just enough seconds to achieve continuous playing without rebuffering. The only way to set buffering (for now) is how many seconds of playtime the player should buffer before it starts playing. Depending on your server speed and user’s connection speed, longer buffer time might be required for slow server or user’s with slow connections. IMO, the default 5 seconds works very well for decent server and DSL users. If you have Google Analytics or similar services installed, you should be able to find out the connection speed for majority of your users and pick the optimum buffer length for them.

  This may sound like a silly question but is there any way to ensure that there is constant buffer?

  Basically if you look on my site http://www.lawrencebrenner.com/w2/?page_id=3 I am trying to get the videos (which are episodes) to have a constant play rate without making the initial buffer too long to sit through currently I have it set at 150 seconds.

  What I want is for it to constantly buffer even after starting and this may sounds newbie of me but I did not see an option to do that.

  Is there any way to that?

  I want to thank you for this most awesome plugin.

  wow, this is superb! it’s working perfectly on feedburner.
  i haven’t tested on bloglines and google reader though. i put the flv-embed yesterday, still waiting for the feed in bloglines and google reader to update itself again. it could take a while. but i believe it should be working just like in feedburner. and if they’re not updated, may be i’ll place another flash video for next entry just to see if it works, lol

• eyn // May 31, 2007 at 8:24 pm

  

  For those of you who have problem with image stretching, you should first try changing the overstretch option and if none of them works for you, then there might be some problem with your FLV files. You might want to try fixing the meta tags using FLVMDI or use a better FLV encoder.

  Also a note for those who are posting problems here, please, always include a URL to the problem page so I can see the source code and find out what your problem is. However, there’s no guarantee how soon I’ll reply to your problem seeing most people just take and leave without showing any appreciation. I’ll provide priority support for donators if you really need help urgently (provided I’m not too busy or on vacation).

  wat, great idea and I added a new option that implements exactly what you suggested. Download the latest version and tell me if it works for you. ;) I would like to see more feature suggestion than anything else, so keep your ideas coming!

  wonderful flv embed plugin.
  i’m wondering if it’s possible to make the player show along with poster image (or just poster image) in rss reader such as google reader like dailymotion?

• Bruce Walls // May 30, 2007 at 10:49 pm

  

  I have the videos working now, two together as in the examples at top of the page. These examples would make me think that this is normal but of course it is not. So what do I need to change for only one video to be displayed.

  Thanks. Bruce

  Hi

  I’m a bit lost here through my lack of knowledge. I don’t know where flash_flv_player comes into the equation and what files have to be placed onto my site before I can utilize the FLV Embed plugin.
  Could somebody point me in the right direction.

  Hello, I upgraded from v.2.0 to v.3.1 and now it shows the “Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.” message. So, I installed the new flash player 9.0.45.0, but I still see the same message. In both browsers - firefox 2.0.0.3 and IE 7. Adobe tests confirms that I’m with the latest flash player.
  Where can be the error?

  Hi there!

  First of all: Great plugin!

  But I encountered a strange problem… No matter what value I choose for the “$flv_overstretch” parameter, the video won’t show up in the size specified. The .flv definitely has the same size as the size I specified for the player (480×360px). Most strange: If I chose “none” for the overstrech, the movie won’t show at all (and I just hear the audio playing).

  Another thing: The player won’t wait for 10 seconds, although I changed the relating value.

  Here’s a sreenshot of how it looks with “fit”, “true” and “false”.
  http://www.jenriks.de/filethingie/flv.jpg

  The .flv is about 30MB big and I’m using the recent version of your plugin as well as recent versions of Flash Player and Java.

  Can you help? Would be great!!!!

  Thanks,
  Erik

  TallFreak, try using !important to override CSS rules set by other files, you might want to look at my other plugin MyCSS as well, it is usually loaded after your theme’s core CSS so it’s less likely you’ll need to use !important to override.

  Jan, interesting idea, though if you were to let your users to embed the video, they will be using your bandwidth for both the flvplayer.swf as well as the FLV files, you sure that’s okay? If there’s other people interested in such a feature I can consider adding this in the next version.

  Wes, the problem is fixed in 0.3.1, I didn’t consider the different variation how people would go about using the path settings, thanks for bringing the issues up. fyi, you could use a site relative path i.e. “/videos/” instead of the complete URL for those path settings, as long as they are under the same domain. Also, when using the embed tags, all you need is the filename e.g. [flv:crash.flv 480 290] provided the path settings are correct, which in your case, should be.

  And for other users who left a comment earlier, I hope the recent release of FLV Embed 0.3.1 can solve those problems. I have rewrote almost everything from scratch due to the switch from ufo.js to swfobject.js. Now it no longer requires you to manually change WordPress core file to achieve XHTML valid.

  Several new features have also been added, such as watermark logo, volume settings, path settings for both poster and FLV files and an optional poster argument when using the tags. More details about the new path settings can be found here.

  If any of you found any problems with this plugin or have a request for certain features, don’t afraid to let me know by leaving a comment here. Good luck with the plugin and I hope it works well for you!

  Cannot get posterimage to work. Here is what I have for my following directories in the flv-embed.php

  $flv_useposter = 1;
$flv_imagetype = "jpg";
$flv_posterpath = "http://aimlessfilms.com/pictures/posterimages/";
 
$flv_flvpath = "http://aimlessfilms.com/videos/";

  I have a video named crash.flv and a posterimage named crash.jpg, but nothing shows up.

• Enrique // May 3, 2007 at 9:26 am

  

  This message is intended for fellow users of this great plugin:
  I found a way to implement the two things I wanted the plugin to do:

  1: Allow me to simply enter the name of the flv file without indicating its complete location.
  2: Allow me to keep the poster image in a different directory. This is because my media directory requires a password, but at the same time I don’t want visitors to be asked for a password simply to see the poster image.

  Proceed at your own risk…

  Assuming that you have a flash movies directory called “flashmovies” and a poster images directory called “posterimages”…

  Look for the following two lines…
  
$image = str_replace(".flv", ".", $movie);
$image = ($flv_useposter) ? "&image=$image$flv_imagetype" : "";


  Modify that area of the php file to read…
  
//Appends address of folder containing flash videos
$movie = "http://www.yourdomain.com/flashmovies/$movie";
$image = str_replace(".flv", ".", $movie);
$image = ($flv_useposter) ? "&image=$image$flv_imagetype" : "";
//Allows poster image to reside in a different directory
$image = str_replace("/flashmovies/", "/posterimages/", $image);


  If you want to host your images on a whole other domain, the process is very similar… so play around with it, but be warned that if you make a mistake you will cripple your wordpress installation (you would have to remove the plugin via FTP to get it to work again).

  Excellent plug-in. Question…

  How do I go about hosting the poster image and the flash video in different folders?

  Location of Flash video:
  http://www.domain.com/media/damovie.flv

  Location of poster image:
  http://www.domain.com/wp-content/thumbnails/damovie.jpg

  Thanks for your help and more so for creating a great plugin.

  P.S:
  Feature to consider: Ability to indicate flash movie directory so that one need only type the name of the movie instead of typing the complete URI each time.

• Doug Pratt // Apr 27, 2007 at 6:10 pm

  

  Hi,

  I think there’s a problem with overstretch and the new player, version 3.7. Overstretch=fit works perfectly with 3.6, but not 3.7. This is a copy-and-paste from my flv-embed.php file:

  $flv_overstretch = “fit”;

  Again, “fit” works AOK with 3.6, and material that is 4:3 is good in player 3.7. But the 16:9 values I use — 425 240 — result in a 4:3 shaped image in the middle of a 16:9 window.

• Guus // Apr 26, 2007 at 5:41 am

  

  I’ve been trying to get the plugin to work, but something is wrong.

  The player shows up in my post, but when I press the play button the twirl keeps showing, and the buffer doesn’t seem to fill…

  the code I use in my post:
  [flv:http://www.studio469.com/gportfolio/wp-content/uploads/miksed.flv 320 280]

  //I found out what i did wrong, I pasted the code in normal view, instead of the code editor…

  Great plugin!

• Andreas Levers // Apr 18, 2007 at 8:01 am

  

  Regarding poster images not showing up for Firefox:

  I modified the wordpress plugin to rewrite the content later on in the plugin/event chain. It seems that the different versions of WP encode the ampersand (&) within the paramters in a way that certain versions of Firefox (or the Flash Plugin within FF) do not like very much. Here are the changes within my FLV-Embed Plugin:

  line 112 before: add_filter(’the_content’, ‘flv_parse’)
  line 112 after: add_filter(’the_content’, ‘flv_parse’,999)

  This might be some kind of ugly hack but I did not have the time to take an in-depth look at all of the code.

  I am in the process of hacking your plug-in to allow for rtmp, It will be a separate plug-in. I think the only thing you are missing is the id for the flash vars. Or at least thats what the documentation says on Jeoren’s web site. I will let you know how it comes out, but would you want to integrate when I am done?

  Answered my own question

  Thanks andy ways, hers the how to future reference to any one with the same problem.

  Select the site to configure in IIS, right click and select “Properties”

  Under HTTP Headers Tab, select “File Types” under the MIME Map section and select “New Type”

  Type “.flv” as the associated extension and “video/x-flv” as the content type.

  Select “OK” and you’re ready to fly!

• John Doe // Apr 12, 2007 at 3:20 pm

  

  I had some problems embeding the flv on my site, it played localy but when I tried to play it on my website it didn’t work. After few days I found out that .flv extension wasn’t included in MIME types on my server. I hope this’ll help to someone because I spent hours and hours trying to correct this.
