ABOUT PLAYER SIZE

You can change the player width and height as you like. • In our sample code we have the 4/3 format, size: 400/340 px (where 40px is the controls-bar height). • Procentual sizes are also accepted (like width 100% and height 100%)

HOW TO CREATE A PLAYLIST

I created a special html page for the playlist example. It is as simple as It can be for you to understand the procedure:
http://www.gdd.ro/flvplayer/examples/playlist/example-playlist.html

ENCODING VIDEO FILES TO INTERNET STANDARDS (FLV,MP4)

Flash players require standard codecs for encoding video files.
For that we suggest using the freeware Xmedia Recode software. We test-it and it works great for a large number of video formats.

REMOTE FLV FILES

Get the flv files from different websites working on your website using our flv player with your logo.
Advantages : you don’t lose visitors that click on `related videos` option.

Tips:

1. Using browser extensions : Best combination so far is the couple Flashgot & Orbit downloader installed on your browser ( on Firefox is working nice )

2. Use maxthon browser to get the flv file url from same specific websites. It have an excellent option called “file sniffer” so you can copy the flv video url. Move the mouse over any video flash player and easy copy the video flv address.
You can use-it in the HTML CODE GENERATOR .

3. Use keepvid.com To download or copy flv(url) from Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more.. use this website to sniff the flv files: http://keepvid.com/

Note: Spinning loader animation stays on screen when player is tested locally. The player is designed to work online. So always try to use http:// to locate your files.

    Hi,

    Excellent work! Very nice player!!
    Just have a question: I have a project where I’m planning to use this player, but I would like to change the color for the control panel, Is there any setting I could use to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

  5. #5 scris de Adamion la 16 septembrie 2009

    I’d like to suggest that you update your script and/or player. The .flv link can no longer be retreived from Youtube by such sites as Keepvid.com. Sites like Flixya and other video sites have an embed section so that people can simply place the link to the page that displays a video on Youtube and it works successfully. Why not fix your script so that people can simply add the link to the page on Youtube that displays the video and fix it so that it will play in your player and generator script. Thank you in advance!

      Why should gddflvplayer generate an embed code for youtube player when you can simply use the youtube embed code. I recommend using gddflvplayer for your own hosted videos.

  6. #7 scris de Dennis la 27 septembrie 2009

    I hope this player can also embed zshare.net videos

    “Why should gddflvplayer generate an embed code for youtube player when you can simply use the youtube embed code. I recommend using gddflvplayer for your own hosted videos.”

    Because there are lots of us who like to keep a nice, clean consistent look to our sites and would rather not have to embed whatever terribly designed player that any given site decides to use. I just want one, clean and simple looking player to use throughout my site.

  8. #9 scris de Adamion la 9 octombrie 2009

    Clearly the purpose of the gddflvplayer is not only to play videos that someone is hosting on there own site, but to be able to host other videos from other video websites. The reason why I say this is… the generating script allows you to place advertisements etc. in any video, unlike… the limited ability that the usual video embed codes that can be retrieved other video hosting websites.

    Please……. reconfigure this player so that it will also play .swf files. Thanks in advance!

    • #11 scris de GeDeDe la 12 octombrie 2009

      humm, it’s like you’re trying to fly an airplane inside another airplane.
      WhoDoo, this is absurd for a swf video player..

  10. #12 scris de GeDeDe la 13 octombrie 2009

    You can convert a flv to swf so you won’t need a player on a HTML page. A flv file contain a native META info that can be parsed by a thirdparty while a swf converted video does not. META info are used to control a video file while playing inside a player. So please stop arguing, it is about understanding the Flash routine.

    Please read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Video . Can be very useful.

      As long as I know, it didn’t, did you try it ?

  21. #26 scris de worldofrugs la 12 martie 2010

    1 word: AWESOME!!!

    Man, you have been a guge help to me with this player!
    Lots of players have so much junk added to them, like commercial stuff and not to mention: lot’s of coding lines!
    (Just try the implemented one from DW CS3/4 and you’ll see!)

    This player is compact, easy to install and very good looking!
    Big pros:
    - Easy to install / adjust
    - You can set the sound volume
    - You can adjust the buffer-size before playing (many players load the whole video first, then play! Very annoying with larger files.)
    - Full-screen option available
    - You can add a logo / title / splash-screen and more!
    - Can be completely hosted on your own site

    Some small cons (perhaps future version requests?):
    - a small tool-tip on the buttons might help some users
    - 2nd button from the right (name=??) makes the video fill the screen without black borders. Would be nice to have this initial done

    In short:
    Thank you, thank you, thank you for this “can-NOT-do-without” player!!

    I will for sure get a donation together soon, as our thank-you and to keep this project alive!

    • #27 scris de gdd.ro la 13 martie 2010

      Thank you for your comment. I will take in consideration your requests in future development.

      There is a scripting mistake somehow. If you have a link where i can check your source maybe I can help you.

    Hi, first of all I´d like to thankyou for this nice player. Realy Great job.

    Can I suggest a feature (or if is already implemented) ?

    Is it possible to change the background´s player color (something like &bgcolor=#FEFEFE) ?

    Regards

    Hi!
    Thanks for the player,

    I have one problem hower.
    I have a video that’s just 2 seconds long for testing purposes. When this video is loaded in the gddplayer the CPU goes nearly up 99% and stays there.
    This only happens for this small video.
    Longer videos say 2 min 30 secs don’t have this problem.

    Any help on this would be great.
    Thanks

    • #37 scris de GeDeDe la 7 mai 2010

    Hi,

    Thanks a lot for this clean player. But I have an issue with playing MP4 files. The MP4 video is not getting displayed whereas I’m able to hear the audio pretty fine. The FLV files play just fine, though. Any idea on what the problem might be?

    Thanks,

    Best.

    • #39 scris de GeDeDe la 10 mai 2010

      using the standard codec for encoding mp4 videos might help a lot

    Just wanted to say how much of a God-send this was to me. I have spent hours trying different flv players and none of them worked the way I wanted it to (providing smooth playback). I’m glad I didn’t give up and kept searching til I found what I was looking for. I had to Google a million different variations of the same inquiry just to finally get what I was looking for. I will definitely donate. :-)

  30. #44 scris de Musician la 30 mai 2010

    A great player you have! I noticed the link to the playlist and I looked into that script. Hmmm… seems you would add the option in that playlist so that after one video finishes playing that it would automatically forward and play the next video in the playlist. I was wonder if adding this code into the script would help it to do that… so.addVariable(‘repeat’,'list’);

  31. #45 scris de Musician la 31 mai 2010

    Alright… for those of you that’s been wanting to play YouTube Videos with the GDD FLV Player, I’ve figured out how to do it… AND YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED! Go to YouTube and find a video, then copy it’s URL and then go to KeepVid.com and insert the YouTube URL and then click on the Download button. Once you see the different types of media formats it generates, then right click on the “Medium” FLV and select Copy Shortcut. Once you do that, then pull up your NotePad or what ever you use and then paste that Shortcut into it. Then remove this [www.keepvid.com] at the end of that link. Once you’ve done that, then go to tinyurl.com and take that long URL and generate a smaller link. Then take that link and use the GDD code generator to generate the embed code. That’s it… it worked for me and it should work for you as well.

    • #46 scris de GeDeDe la 1 iunie 2010

      Great tip, I’ll try-it and let you know if it worked for me too .

      later edit: after a few hours the cached video expires and the generated flv url is no longer available.

  32. #47 scris de Scott la 8 iunie 2010

    Thank you very much for the player. Awesome. But when I install it on my drupal site, the buttons don’t work? I’m not a flash guy just need to play a song upon entry to the website but my problem is the buttons don’t work, (for those visitors who don’t appreciate sound on a website).

    “WHAT’S NEXT

  34. #49 scris de Musician la 10 iunie 2010

    I see that you show an example of how to create a playlist at http://www.gdd.ro/flvplayer/examples/playlist/example-playlist.html…. but I’d also appreciate it if you could explain how to make the videos play continuously on to the next video, so that each video plays after the other without having to click on the play button. Can you please, show how to do this, even if it means using an .xml file?

  35. #50 scris de THOMAS la 19 iunie 2010

    Hi,

    Thanks a lot for your great FLV player! I have just the following questions:

    1) the same question as the above friend: how to play several clips continously just by clicking one time on the button? Here is one example: http://flowplayer.org/demos/configuration/rss-playlist.html

    2) For the playlist, could you move it under the player not at right side of the player? Of course, the playlist size should be reduced.

    3) Could you make other player skins to choose?

    4) Could you change the height of the title line because when we write the title, it is too small to read.

  36. #51 scris de GeDeDe la 19 iunie 2010

    I’m working on playlist option. I hope it will be available asap.

  38. #53 scris de RandomGuy la 8 iulie 2010

    Further up in the comments you mentioned that the control-bar cannot be turned off, will this be possible in future versions? This might be very handy together with loop functionality and the current autoplay function.

    That way you could make a little black board of small teasers for example.

    Anyway, this is one awesome type of FLVplayer, you have my thanks for it.
