FLV Embed (with video sitemap)

Latest version:
1.2
2008.07.18

FLV Embed is a WordPress plugin made to simplify the process of adding Flash videos (FLV) into your blog using Jeroen’s FLV Player.

For commercial use and implementation, you need to purchase a license. I can help you with that and provide technical support if desired.

If you want information about encoding videos into FLV and why you should use FLV, Jeroen has also written an excellent article which you can find on his site.

First of all, I do know there are already quite a few plugins that does similar things but I decided to make my own plugin for several reasons:

to enforce a standard plugin tag style (all of my other plugins use the same tag style)
no bells and whistles, this plugin embeds an FLV file and does it the easiest way
uses highly portable, extensible and future proof tags
XHTML compliant for those who cares about validation

Starting from version 1.0, FLV Embed supports Google video sitemap generation, the first WordPress plugin that does it for you! ;)

FLV Embed in action

Video sitemap

Features

uses simple, intuitive tags to generate Flash video (FLV) movies for your posts
supports video sitemap generation
standards compliant: valid XHTML
many options are configurable, such as autostart, show/hide control bar, player colour, poster image, full screen button etc.
highly interactive admin option panel for player configuration
supports text only output for RSS that prompt readers to visit the original post for Flash content
supports outputting poster image for RSS if desired
accessibility: requires Javascript to display FLV player, but will prompt user to enable Javascript when disabled
accessibility: prompt user to download latest Flash player if it is not installed or too old
accessibility: no annoying “click to activate” for IE users

Usage

This plugin uses one universal, standard tag style:

[flv:url width height]

url - the URL of the FLV file you want to embed, the path can either be site-relative or absolute
width - width of the FLV movie
height - height of the FLV movie

Jeroen’s FLV Player supports poster frame so you can turn on this feature via options if desired. The following two examples show FLV embed with and without poster frame.

Without poster frame
The poster frame feature is turned off by default.

Example input:

[flv:/video/demo.flv 480 368]

Example output:

With poster frame
In order to use this poster frame feature, you will need to turn it on via options. Once turned on, the player will look for preview image that share the same filename as the embedded FLV file. For example, if your embedded FLV file is “demo.flv”, the player will display “demo.jpg” as preview image. By default, the filetype of preview image is “jpg”, but this can be changed via options.

Example input:

[flv:/video/demo.flv 480 360]

Example output:

Version 0.3 onwards
Starting from version 0.3, it is possible to have your poster image at a different location than your FLV files. To achieve that, an optional 4th argument for the input tag and a new option $flv_posterpath were introduced. Below shows the tag syntax that should be used to provide a poster path:

[flv:movie poster width height]

movie - the URL of the FLV file, the path can either be site-relative or absolute
poster - the URL of the poster image, the path can either be site-relative or absolute
width - width of the FLV movie
height - height of the FLV movie

It is recommended that you try different settings for $flv_posterpath (found in option panel) and poster argument to have a feel how they work. There are several different ways how you could combine $flv_posterpath and optional poster path tag parameter to tell the plugin the poster location is not the same as the flv location.

If all your poster images are put within the same directory but not the same as the FLV files, change $flv_posterpath to point to your image directory, and no poster argument is required when using the embed tags. Make sure all the poster images have the same filename as the FLV files. If your poster images are scattered all over the places i.e. not within the same directory and not necessarily has the same filename as your FLV files, then use the poster argument to indicate where the poster image is.

The plugin detects the path used in the tags to determine if $flv_posterpath and $flv_flvpath should be used. In cases where absolute or site relative path are given as argument for the tags, $flv_posterpath and $flv_flvpath will have no effect on the output.

Users without Flash or Javascript
Unfortunately, about 2% of your users might not have Flash installed and about 10% of them might not have Flash 8 or above according to Adobe. For these users, the ufo.js will detect and output appropriate message that prompts these users to download and install latest Flash player onto their computers. Here’s an example screenshot that show you how this works:

Flash accessibility

While most modern browser supports Javascript, some users are too afraid that Javascript will screw up their computer so they turn it off just to be safe. This becomes a problem because this WordPress plugin relies on Javascript to display the FLV Player. To solve this problem, “noscript” tags are used to prompt these users to enable their Javascript and refresh the page for the Flash player to show up. Here’s an example screenshot:

Javascript accessibility

Text only output:
By default, this plugin will output text that reads “[See post to watch Flash video]” for your RSS feeds only. If you wished you could display the poster image in your RSS feeds by setting $flv_posterinfeed option (see below) to 1.

Demo RSS feed

Sitemap

Starting from version 1.0, FLV Embed supports video sitemap generation. In order to see the video sitemap option panel, you need to turn on the sitemap feature under your FLV Embed option panel.

The plugin will try to create a video sitemap file in your blog root but this might not be successful depending on your server configuration. If the plugin is unable to create the video sitemap file for you, then you will need to manually upload the video sitemap file to your blog root, chmod it “664″ (or “666″ depending on your server configuration) and tell the plugin where to locate your video sitemap under options.

Video sitemap settings

Custom field data are used by the plugin to generate the video sitemap. If you have been using FLV Embed in the past, you can tell the plugin to insert missing custom field data for all published post by clicking the “Update Custom Fields” button within your video sitemap option page. This will also update any existing custom fields should there be any noticeable changes.

Automatic custom field insert can be disabled on a per post basis by putting [flv:skip] at the end of your blog post. Each time video sitemap is rebuilt successfully, Google will be pinged about the sitemap updates automatically. This plugin will try not to ping Google more than once per hour (as per Google’s suggestion), but you can override this by manually pinging via the “Force Ping” button found in sitemap option panel.

Click on the demo below to have a look how the generated video sitemap will look like. You might want to “view source” to see the actual XML content.

Demo video sitemap

Options

Starting from version 1.0, you can change just about everything this plugin does using the plugin option panel. Below list some of the parameters that might be confusing for you when changing different options.

FAQs

I keep getting “Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.” message even though I have the latest Flash player. Why?
It is very likely that wp_head() function is missing in your theme’s header. To fix this, put the following code into your WordPress theme’s header file (usually header.php, under Presentation -> Theme Editor), right before the </head>:

<?php wp_head(); ?>

Why doesn’t my flash video stretch properly?
You need a better encoder, or you can also try different settings for $flv_overstretch option.

Why are those ugly embed code showing up on my category, tags etc. page?
This is because those entries do not have their excerpt defined, and WordPress is trying to generate one for you based on the post content, and you happen to have the FLV embed tags at the top of the page! Unfortunately, I have yet to fix this problem because WordPress does not provide an easy hook for excerpt handling and I would need to literally hack WordPress to get this fixed. I will try to put this on my todo list but in the mean time, you can fix this yourself by manually adding excerpt to those posts affected.

How can I change the location of the logo?
Unfortunately you cannot, by default the logo will show at the top right corner. You might be able to manually add transparent padding to your png logo to shift the logo to where you want it to be, though it is not recommended.

How can I align the video in the middle?
Put the following code into your theme’s stylesheet (for easy way of doing this, see MyCSS):

#player1, #player2, #player3 {text-align: center;}

Is (insert feature name) supported by this plugin?
If you know that a certain feature is supported by JW FLV Player but is not supported by this plugin yet, feel free to make a request. Otherwise, it might be hard for me to provide such functionality especially those related to player’s functionality and appearance.

How can I embed a video from YouTube?
Use the YouTube URL as the file argument when using the embed tags, e.g. [flv:http://youtube.com/watch?v=fLV3MB3DpWN 480 360]

How long will it take for my videos to show up in Google’s search results once I submitted my video sitemap?
Nobody can tell for sure, but Google has definitely started putting video sitemap into action i.e. indexing the flv and including them as search results. Each new video added to the video sitemap can take as little as a day or two to show up in the search results depending on your site’s crawl rate.

I have duplicate entries in my video sitemap?!
Check the post with duplicate entries and manually delete the “flv” custom fields that are either empty or corrupted.

I really like this plugin, what can I do to help?
It will be highly appreciated if you can donate whatever you think this plugin is worth, or you can also spread the love by sharing this hopefully useful plugin with your readers. boogie

Hello,

The FLV player is not showing up after a search for the videos, just strings of text. If you open the page, the player will be there. But why doesn’t it show up in the search list?

Nonetheless, great plugin.

Hi,

Thanks for a great plugin!

I do have a small problem. Suddenly the dreaded “Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.” appeared in IE and FF. The player worked fine in IE and FF a couple of weeks ago - and I already have the suggested code in my header.php.

Any suggestions as to what mistake I might have made? http://www.voilamaxime.net

Thanks a lot,

Eric

I use flv embed in an article of my weblog.
But if somebody read the article via the kategory-search, there is a bug.
within the article is the following phrase written:

[Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on and refresh this page]

I don’t know about it.
maybe you can contact me, what do do. I think its a simple problem for you.

much greetings

eyn // Feb 29, 2008 at 11:39 pm

rellik, I don’t think your problem is related to this plugin, might be your server configuration or WordPress installation issue.

wat, the problem you mentioned lies with the JW FLV Player, I have no control over that so unfortunately it will stay that way till Jeroen changed his player, you can try to file a bug report on his forum to let him know about this issue.

hombrelobo, I doubt it is possible to have two logo per player. What I can suggest is to use a link to a dynamic image generator for the logo option, which will randomly pick one logo out of a selection of logo you specify.

contempt, interesting bug report you have there. I have no problem with the current plugin on IE7 during my testing, I’ll see if the parameter you mention does affect the behavior of the player.

Pierre, thank you so much for your generous donation, good to know someone likes this plugin enough to donate for it. I have yet to code this plugin to support mp4 files so far, I’ll try to add that support in the next version. And you’re absolutely right, the algorithm for poster image is not robust enough, I’ll update that as well in the upcoming version.

Brian, thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try to add caption support when I’m updating this plugin. It seems that I have no choice but add another parameter to the embed tags to fully support this feature, which I have been trying to keep it as minimal as possible. :(

Lastly, glad to hear that this plugin is working well for those who express satisfaction with this plugin. I enjoy checking different sites to see how people utilizes this plugin. :)
Brian // Feb 29, 2008 at 3:56 pm

One feature that I know the player can use is the option for captioned video using an .srt file or similar. I’ve been looking at the code to see if I can include a variable for the location of the file. I’d really love it if this feature were included/enabled in a future release of the plug-in.

I had to use a different flash plug-in to show a video with captions and my hearing-impaired friends were really pleased. Unfortunately that other plug-in doesn’t show the nice pretty poster image in my RSS feed. So any chance of an update, or maybe dropping some hints on adding/activating other valid flash player features?

Thanks!
Pierre // Feb 28, 2008 at 10:07 pm

Hello, I love your plugin and I use it all the time. Lately I have started generating mp4/avc high-def files now that Adobe has released their new Flash player with h.264 support. Your plugin generally works with my mp4 files but there are two problems:

1. Playback will not start until the whole file downloads. On one page I have an FLV file and an MP4 file, and the FLV file will play after a few seconds of buffering, but the MP4 will only play after the whole file downloads.

2. Poster files don’t seem to work with my MP4 files. I suspect that you are looking for an FLV extension to remove from which to derive the jpg or png file name. Is there any way to make this plugin a little smarter about video file name extensions?

Thank you very much for a great plugin. I love it so much I donated a little money so you can keep it going.
Tristan // Feb 28, 2008 at 3:36 pm

After tweaking some of the settings (and getting quite frustrated when the video didn’t show up — turns out I had the wrong directory!), FLV Embed works like an amazing charm! Thank you so much for such a terrific, custom plugin. I’d been using Podpress, but due to Flash’s market saturation, decided to switch to it. I’m glad I found FLV Embed to help me make the jump!
contempt // Feb 27, 2008 at 4:32 pm

I love this plugin. But people visiting our blog in IE7 reported getting a “Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site” error message. Searching on Google showed that it had to do with how poorly IE managed Javascript tags that were included in a body tag. Anyway, going through my site didn’t fix the problem. But then I decided to modify this plugin. I added the line defer=”defer” within the tag. That did the trick!!!

No more IE problems. I’m hoping the author could fix this in future versions, cause we know we can’t wait for Microsoft to fix theirs.

eyn // Feb 16, 2008 at 4:17 pm

First of all I do not know how long it takes for your video to show up at video.google.com after submitting your video sitemap, seems to me that Google is just experimenting with the video sitemap feature and has yet to put it into action i.e. indexing the flv and including them as search results.

btw, I try to add some of the questions that were asked in the comments into the FAQs section so do check the FAQs for answers to common questions.

pixelrise, you have problems with your server configuration, sorry I can’t help you much with that. If the flv file is accessible and valid, this plugin will work for sure.

Issa, there’s no repeat functionality for this plugin so far, to be honest I see little use for that but I’ll see if I can provide that option in the next release.

Ryan, to enable the floating control bar mode, you just need to uncheck the “Show the control bar” checkbox in the option panel. Starting from version 1.0 there’s no need to mess around with the php file anymore. ;)

Sergey, thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try to include that in the next update. I’ll also add support for mp4 file and default to flv type for filename that does not include proper extension.

Lastly a special thanks to those who have donated to this plugin, even though it’s just a very tiny fraction of people compared to the total number of downloads so far, any donation shows appreciation of my coding effort!

P.S. A shameless plug for my latest plugin - Image Caption. If you ever tried adding caption to your images but couldn’t find an easy way to do so, then you must give this plugin a try and tell me what you think!

Still, the regular old tool bar shows on the bottom. Any hints?
pixelrise // Jan 31, 2008 at 5:04 am

First of all, thank you for that great plugin!!

I have read all the comments at your site and found exactly the same problems with mine.
You can seen only the flash player and no video to play.

this is what i type: [flv:http://www.pixelrise.gr/blog/videos/ksanthis.flv 380 302]

The video is inside that folder (videos) you can see it here: http://www.pixelrise.gr/blog/videos
but you can’t even download it! It seems that is not exist, but it’s in there.

Maybe i’m not doing something right.
Sorry, im new to that.

I would appreciate it if you help to that, cause my occupation is on motion graphics and i would love to have that plugin at my blog.

thanx
Sergey // Jan 29, 2008 at 12:10 am

It looks like Google does not like HTML markup in descriptions,hence the patch:

in flv_sitemap.php, insert after:

if (empty($flv->post_excerpt))
$excerpt = flv_fake_excerpt($flv->post_content);
else
$excerpt = $flv->post_excerpt;
this:

$excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt);

good luck!

Thanks for updating the plugin, I use it on my site all the time. I have to ask though, is it possible to change the location of the logo? As others have noted, it was in the lower right, and now it is in the upper right. Is there a parameter I can change to place it in the lower right again?

Great job, my visitors love the videos I share with them!

Would it be possible to add an option to embed the video somewhere else ? Like Youtube. So people can take the code and include the video in their websites ……

Thanks

MacBros,

Good to help you ;D

Ive linked it from another site of mine. I think it was due to some security lines I have in my ,htaccess file so images cannot be leeched from my site. So the .htaccess sees the plugin as an outside source I think. I’ll just keep it linked from the directory I have it in now, as it is working. Thanks.

Thanks for the plugin !!

One thing: you say the logo appears on the bottom right corner. In my case, appears on the top right corner ….. ¿?

Ooops,

I mean => “Try to put the path relative to your public_html folder.”

MacBros,

Try to put your the path relative to your public_html folder.

On my site I use “/data/video/images/tjrlogo2.png” and works great.

I can’t get the LOGO to show.
I put http://www.macbrosplace.com/directory/logo.png and then the URL to go to when clicked, but the logo does not show. It’s PNG-8 Transparent.

Any Ideas?

This was a great update. Not only does it have an Admin panel for ease of configuration but also includes the Google video sitemap.

As you warned in the above instructions.. I did have to manually create the videofeed.xml and chmod it to 666 (664 did not work)

The logo is now on the upper right corner!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ;D

Very very thank you for this great plugin and the update.

just a note:

the “Added: Option to show/hide stop button” in the history was wrote twice.

Just updated this plugin to version 1.0, it is now configurable via admin panel and is capable of generating the sparkling new Google video sitemap based on specification released so far. If you’ve been using FLV Embed, thank you and I hope you are now ahead of the game with this new version! Give this new version a try and tell me what you think! oh btw, happy holidays!

Here’s a sample video sitemap generated by FLV Embed for this site. ;)
