Here’s some tidbits from the homepage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Usage:<\/h3>\n
This plugin uses one universal, standard tag style:<\/p>\n
[ flv:url width height]<\/p>\n
- \n
- url – the URL of the FLV file you want to embed, the path can either be site-relative or absolute<\/li>\n
- width – width of the FLV movie<\/li>\n
- height – height of the FLV movie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Jeroen\u2019s FLV Player supports poster frame so you can turn on this feature via options<\/a> if desired.<\/p>\n
Version 0.3 onwards<\/strong>
\nStarting from version 0.3, it is possible to have your poster image at a different location than your FLV files. To achieve that, an optional 4th argument for the input tag and a new option$flv_posterpath<\/code> were introduced. Below shows the tag syntax that should be used to provide a poster path:<\/p>\n[ flv:movie poster width height ]<\/p>\n
- \n
- movie – the URL of the FLV file, the path can either be site-relative or absolute<\/li>\n
- poster – the URL of the poster image, the path can either be site-relative or absolute<\/li>\n
- width – width of the FLV movie<\/li>\n
- height – height of the FLV movie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is recommended that you try different settings for
$flv_posterpath<\/code> and poster argument to have a feel how they work. There are several different ways how you could combine$flv_posterpath<\/code> and optional poster path tag parameter to tell the plugin the poster location is not the same as the flv location.<\/p>\nIf all your poster images are put within the same directory but not the same as the FLV files, change
$flv_posterpath<\/code> to point to your image directory, and no poster argument is required when using the embed tags. Make sure all the poster images have the same filename as the FLV files. If your poster images are scattered all over the places i.e. not within the same directory and not necessarily has the same filename as your FLV files, then use the poster argument to indicate where the poster image is.<\/p>\nThe plugin detects the path used in the tags to determine if
$flv_posterpath<\/code> and$flv_flvpath<\/code> should be used. In cases where absolute or site relative path are given as argument for the tags,$flv_posterpath<\/code> and$flv_flvpath<\/code> will have no effect on the output.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nUsers without Flash or Javascript<\/strong>
\nUnfortunately, about 2% of your users might not have Flash installed and about 10% of them might not have Flash 8 or above according to Adobe<\/a>. For these users, the ufo.js will detect and output appropriate message that prompts these users to download and install latest Flash player onto their computers. Here\u2019s an example screenshot that show you how this works:<\/p>\n![\"With](\"http:\/\/www.channel-ai.com\/blog\/plugin\/flv-flash_small.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWhile most modern browser supports Javascript, some users are too afraid<\/a> that Javascript will screw up their computer so they turn it off just to be safe. This becomes a problem because this WordPress plugin relies on Javascript to display the FLV Player. To solve this problem, \u201cnoscript\u201d tags are used to prompt these users to enable their Javascript and refresh the page for the Flash player to show up. Here\u2019s an example screenshot:<\/p>\n

\nText only output:<\/strong>
\nBy default, this plugin will output text that reads \u201c[See post to watch Flash video]\u201d for your RSS feeds only. If you wished you could display the poster image in your RSS feeds by setting$flv_posterinfeed<\/code> option (see below) to 1.<\/p>\n
