FV Wordpress Flowplayer Installation

There aren't any special requirements for FV Wordpress Flowplayer to work, and you don't need to install any additional plugins.

Installation

  1. Download and unpack zip archive containing the plugin.
  2. Upload the fv-wordpress-flowplayer directory into wp-content/plugins/ directory of your wordpress installation.
  3. Make sure, that configuration file wpfp.conf is writable.
  4. Go into Wordpress plugins setup in Wordpress administration interface and activate FV Wordpress Flowplayer plugin.
  5. Optionally, if you want to embed videos denoted just by their filename, you can create the /videos/ directory located directly in the root of your domain and place your videos there. Otherwise, you would have to type in a complete URL of video files.

    Hi,

    I have tried on several occassions to upload the plugin to my WP blog and even though it shows in the plugin directory ie: wp-content/plugins/ it doesn’t display in my WP admin area under plugins.

    Not sure why?

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks,
    Tony

    Hi Tony!
    Do you have “fv-wordpress-flowplayer” directory in your wo-content/plugins/? If you do, please make sure that:

    1. it’s not empty (you may not have unpacked it right)
    2. its directory structure is intact – e.g. there are other directories in it (model, view, controller, css…)
    3. webserver has an execute “x” access to that directory (if you are running a unix/linux server, you could also copy-paste the outcome of “ls -la /wp-content/plugins/” command here)

    Jhampton, you are probably using PHP4 on your server. Is that right? Flowplayer plugin is unfortunatelly designed for PHP5.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for your replies.

    I’ll check this over with my developer. I’m quite sure that my host has upgraded server to php5.

    Thanks again,
    Tony

    Correction… strangely I had downloaded it completely the first time… decided to redownload it just for the heck of it and it worked.. I was able to unzip it fine. Anyway I could have a copy of the source code I was also going to try to remove the brand from the right-click menu.

    You’ve done a wonderful job and great service to the world thanks.

    I keep getting a “server not found” followed by the URL every time I go to play the video in my blog. What am I doing wrong? And can I use the upload plug-in in Wordpress instead of manually uploading?

    Hi there,
    try to put the code by using the HTML tab option (top right over the writing field) and type it in this field as :

    [flowplayer src=http://your-domain-name/wp-content/videos/your-video.flv]

    It works fine for me after removing the “code” tags. It seems to be important to type the full URL.

    Is there a way to configure autoplay on a video by video basis instead of globally?

    thank you
