It used to be that you could use an xml file to set up the playlist for FlowPlayer. I would prefer to create a playlist programmatically and post the xml file for the site to read and act on. I have tried various methods but the only way I can find is to create the tags and shortcodes and cut and paste them whenever a change is needed. Unless you know a way to acheive it. Prefereabley using the old xml flash structure.
TIA Bill

Hello Bill,
are you referring to any standard XML file structure for this?
Or are you just looking for some standardized programming interface for creating playlists in FV Player? We have planned some shortcode improvements which should make it easier.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks,
I was referring to the old flash flowplayer xml structure. If possible if not then an equivalent.Bill
Hello Bill,
I see there is some Media RSS format that was supported: http://flash.flowplayer.org/documentation/configuration/playlists.html
Do you know any other standard which might be more wide spread?
Thanks,
Martin
I have done this with the below open source RSS with another media broadcast software. Copyright says I cannot say more but its an open standard. http://www.rssboard.org/media-rss

——————————WebStunning do a good one. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work in wordpress. You will have to do your own research into this one – NDA’s prevent me.
I create a shortcode in Access to a file I cut n Paste to the page, but its a real faff. Better to set up a source file and replace that. I was wondering whether I can add a <script> with the right classes to do a low level call?. Would that work.
Hello Bill,
we don’t have any plans to work on Media RSS support right now, but I put it up to our Trello board, where we record feature requests: https://trello.com/b/nMI1nPFC/fv-player
We are working on improving the shortcode editor (also for playlist) and also simplifying the shortcode for playlist.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks Martin,,
Appreciated. The cut n Paste generated shortcode from an Access created file works fine for now. ( Interestingly its much happier with a .flv and a secondary .mp4 in solving network errors and speed on displaying. Curing warnings about Meta information is lacking in the help screens.)
Hello Bill,
unfortunately it seems that reencoding the video properly for web is the best way of fixing the bad video meta data (moov) position, if that’s what you mean.
We will have another look for some tool that would fix it.
Thanks,
Martin
