The players was tested with all kind of files and everything was fine.
All formats, except flv, needs to be H.264 encoded! Please let me know if you have an address for your f4v file and I'll take a look.
I looked at your rtmp video and I can't figure out what is the problem: I suggest you to encode the flv again or put it on web to see if it's because of the streaming server or because of the flv.

Hey great script but a couple of questions.. 1st.. how do i increase the font size.. the type is toooo small..
2nd.. how do i change the icons on the play bar? i need to change the expand button to "Guide" and the envelope to "Share" or "Embed".. can that be done? 3rd i need to have the play bar auto hide in 3 or 4 seconds.. can that be done? can the player open with the category listings closed instead of open? when it is open can it auto hide in say 15 secs of there is no mouse movement?
point me in the right direction if you could.. some of this is for player two and some for player 3 i bought both.. please advise as quick as you can i am on a very short deadline and have to be live by midnite tomorrow nite.. that 2/1/09 or i lose my shot at advertising.. almost forgot.. I need to read a play list from bitsontherun.com and also use scan scout for the advertising.. can this be done in either player?
Thank you for such a great looking player..

To wordcutter:
Hi,
many of your changes that you want to do needs some basic knowledge of Flash.
1. You need to open the fla file from source folder; start to navigate in Library: Video Player -> Share - mcShare; here you can see the MovieClips that contains the textBoxes for texts. You need to enter in each MovieClip until you select the textBox and after that, from porperty panel, you can change the font, size, color etc.
2. The MovieClip for control bar you can find in : Video Player -> Controller -> mcController. Same thing... there is a movieClip for each button, you need to enter on each of it and change the shape with whatever you want.
3. I made a feature for autoHide the controller bar but I need to send you the modified files (please send me a private message with your email address).

2009 Feb 02Question & Comment: wordcutter

he wont get back with anyone.. i bought 2 of his players and he wont support them.. what do we do?
2009 May 26Question & Comment: fpineda30157
Quick question...
I purchased this one and its cool.
But I need help... I can reference videos from youtube but cannot reference videos from tangle.com
Tangle is the same thing as you tube with a slight difference in the video's url.
you tube's video urls look like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHmrcCfdZFM
while tangle's videos look like this http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=93bd312cfdf8f3209966
Just wondering if there is a work around or is the flash portion hardcoded only to read you tube's url structure?
Please advise.
2009 May 27Question & Comment: FlashXpert
@fpineda30157 - www.tangle.com is not the same as YouTube. YouTube has an API that can be used to display a video that is uploaded on the site. There are a lot of sites that have scripts to download videos from many other sites but are not legal. So... you/we can not display videos from other site than YouTube if they don't have an API (if they don't allow stilling :D).
2009 May 27Question & Comment: fpineda30157
Thanks for the quick reply. I am developing a web solution for a church. We dont want to do anything illigal but we would rather not reference youtube either. We've had bad experience with visitors, especially children watching a church related video then get segueying to pornographic material.
Our next option then, is saving our the videos in the video folder on our server. I have a couple of questions then,
1. What is the best recording format? Should I record in AVI?
2. What is the best format to convert to prior to trying to view in the FLV video player II?
Thank you in advance for your help. Very delighted with the product and this website (I have found a new resources for my outsourcing needs! FP
2009 May 27Question & Comment: FlashXpert
The Flash Player doesn't play avi videos. Like it says in description you can play: MP4, M4V, M4A, MOV, Mp4v, F4V, FLV. You can use any of this format but if your videos have big quality or if are HD than mov it's a good solution if your videos don't need to be with a high quality than you can use flv. For mov videos we usually using Quick Time Pro.

Hi FlashXpert-
Looking to purchase your player 3 version with the play list. Just wanted to know if you can have the play list run along the bottom instead of the sides of the screen?
Thanks!
2009 Jun 11Question & Comment: smfilms
FlashXpert-
Also, can you put hyperlinks in the video descriptions?
2009 Jun 15Question & Comment: zhuming
Hi,
We really like your work on this player! We are wondering if there is an option to disable the auto-unhide of the video browser (the pane that shows multiple videos you can select)?
2009 Jul 29Question & Comment: FlashXpert
@smfilms Only version II has the option. For version III of the player, the playlist runs only on the side. Having both thumbnails and description, as well as titles, it would take too much space from the video if it ran on the bottom. However, we can customize it if you really need that. Please send a private message.
Yes, you can put hyperlinks in the description. SImply use a href, as you would inside a normal html.
@zhuming Yes, you simply set the autohide option of the playlist to "false", in the settings.xml file.

2009 Dec 10Question & Comment: JohnDS
Hi, I'm trying to link to videos on http://www.vimeo.com. I reaslise this may be a problem but there seems to be a fairly extensive api system to the site, I presume I should be looking to add an appropriate URL in the videopath of the settings.xml file. I would be most grateful if you could advise on what I should be looking for (and whether it's possible), thanks
