Hi,
I cannot seem to get the player working to a sidebar widget. Tried using the code after reading FAQs:
echo apply_filters(‘the_content’, ‘[flowplayer src=yourvideo.mp4 width=240 height=320]‘);
I assume you copy in text widget and replace the src path. Anything else I need to do.
The player works fine in page/post.
Thanks.

Hi Hitendra,
the code ‘echo apply_filters..’ can be used when placing the video into the template.
If you want to insert the video into a widget let’s say via Text Widget, just place the normal shortcode there, just as you’re placing into post.Zdenka
Hi Zdenka,
Thank you for your response. That is exactly what I did in the first instance – inserted the same code in sidebar widget (text widget. It came with error message “200. Stream Not Found..”
Any other thoughts.
Thanks,

Hi Zdenka,
If it is of any help – my vids are on s3Amazon. But then the same code for the player works when inserted in page/post and not on sidebar widget.
Fantastic plugin! If you can sort this problem, it will help others as well.
Thanks,

Hi Hitendra,
try to use single quotes ‘ instead of double ” in the shortcode. If this does not help try it without the quotes. Hope this helps.

Hi Zdenka,
Good news is I got it to work. Really strange though! I used the same vid – but this time uploaded to a different s3 ‘bucket’. A bit of trial and error and it worked. I won’t even try to figure it out. Inserting in the page/post is no problem – but it is a bit ‘touchy’ when it comes to sidebar (text widget).
Thanks.
