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! ;)

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:

With vs. Without Flash
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:

With vs. Without Javascript
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.

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

    Hi,

    I got 2 questions.

    1.Is it possible to load the “post” first when you click the movie instead of playing it directly?
    2. How can I get rid of the download option? That costs too much bandwith.

    thx, love your plugin!!!

    Hey.

    JW-FLV supports both Skins and Plugins, yet i cannot figure how to add either to this extension, apart from editing the code.

    It would be quite nice if this was a built in feature.

    Theme could be filepath option in the Options pane, and plugins could be a textarea or something like that.

    The ability to choose these on a per post base would be nice as well, as i may want the revolt audio equalizer on audio files, but not on video files.

    Hi,

    All my previous FLV videos with raw embed code stopped displaying after the 1st test post with FLV embed. I had to deactivate it to get videos in older posts to display again.

    Is there something other than activating and filling in settings that needs to be done to older embedded videos? It will be a pain to have to edit each post just to get all videos to play like they were before.

    Thanks

    Quick Question…
    I am using the flv plugin inside a custom wordpress theme. I am using .mp4’s (h.2.64) as the video source within the player. Everything works fine, except for the occasional skipping of frames. It is not a downloading/buffer issue because i am waiting for the movie to fully download before starting to play it. The video will skip frames on occasion. It is not something within the encoding of the video because when i play the video file locally from my desktop there are no skipping issues. In addition, the skips never happen at the same place anyway.

    I am thinking this has something to do with processing speed of the computer/browser? The .mp4’s are encoded at 1050 kbits/s and they download fairly quickly.

    Is there a way to fix this issue? In the FLV settings or in the encoding settings?

    Please help, I love the player and would like to continue using it…

    thanks,
    Saul

    My previous message is not very clear as code lines got stripped and do not show the problem:
    code produced starts with tag then closing on line 2
    followed by beginning of line 3 and closing >/p> on last line
    Is this why it is not working at all ?

    s1.addParam(”wmode”,”transparent”);
    s1.addParam(”allowscriptaccess”,”always”);

    Doesn’t work for me using Safari or Firefox on Mac with WP 2.6
    I think ( looking at source code produced by plugin ) there is a p tag problem that is messing everything up.
    starts with and closes with vut there is an extra end of line 2

    document.getElementById(”player1″).style.display = “”;
    var s1 = new SWFObject(”http://86.212.205.224/wordpress/wp-
    ……..
    s1.write(”player1″);

    Hope somebody can help

    Is there a way to show a playlist/tracklist next to the player?
    Like Jeroen’s is his FLV player has.

    That would be a great addition to mine and many other websites.

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    hmm now everything works fine with the defer=”defer” witin the tag and the version 1.1.
    Don’t know why, … just desinstalled the plugin, tried some others, reinstalled it for a last try, and evertything was ok.

    Hi,

    I’m having the same problem as Contempt (IE7, “Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site”) using the 1.1 version of the plugin.

    The defer=”defer” thing in the script didn’t solved the problem for the 1.1 version, but for the 1.0 version it did.

    My question: Is ther a fix for the 1.1 version?

    Btw. this is a great plugin :)

    Thanks

    I would like to implement:

    Lightbox/ThickBox/GreyBox under Flash object
    Posted by admin in tips

    Are you using LightBox and Flash object on your site? The problem appears when you open LightBox and your Flash object appears above the pop up.
    There is a simple solution to your problem!

    Place the following code in your object parameters:

    Also add this code to tag:

    wmode=”transparent”

    That’s it! Flash should now be hidden under LightBox with the rest of the page.

    So I can make sure the thickbox pop-up covers flash movies using your plugin. I guess I need to edit the .swf for that. Is that correct?

    Help!!

    I can’t create a site map. I get “No custom field data found!” in a red box under the WP admin bar.

    What should my server path to site be? I put in what it says in the hint but should there be
    something else?

    Do I have to set up a new folder in uploads because I’ve done that.

    Do I upload videos using my FTP client?

    I’m using 2.5.1 and have gotten very frustrated. I can’t be this hard help me please.

    thanks
