Hi Roger,

Yes, the splash image is simply an image that you upload along with the video, and insert it as splash=’yourimage’ into the shortcode.

The advantage of this is that you can grab other frame if the first one is corrupted.

Not very good trick how to go around this is setting the autoplay to false, and autobuffering to true. This will show the first frame, but it will also load the whole video, which might significantly slow down loading of the whole page.

Currently we do not plan to extend this kind of functionality.

Regards,
Zdenka

Alec,
Can you elaborate? How doe I “Use the splash image functionality” to show the first frame of the video. Doesn’t it want a jpg?

Also, when will the support from “Kermit” be available and will it provide what I am looking for.

The communications that I have had with the FLV Producer people indicate that they can provide this functionality. Of course their product is $97 + $15 for WordPress plugin for $112.
– Thanks, Roger

Hi Roger,

Use the splash image functionality. Sadly flash isn’t much good at what you want. This preview of a set image was more a QuickTime feature if I remember correctly.

There’s better splash image control coming up with a new uploader thanks to Kermit and his generous support for FV Flowplayer.

I tried FV WordPress Flowplayer 0.9.18 and like much of what I see.

BUT I would like for it to show the first frame of the video instead of leaving the video blank until the user presses the ’start’ control.

Is there any reasonable way to provide this functionality?
– Thanks

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

thank you

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.

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?

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.

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
