Embedding .flv file into a website by Th3rmal on 01-22-2009 at 05:02 AM

I need help on embedding a .flv file into a website. I have tried the following two codes to no avail:

code:
<html>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://media.dreamhost.com/ufo.js"></script>
<p id="simpsons_CUT.flv"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</p>

<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv",width:"575",height:"400",majorversion:"7",build:"0",bgcolor:"#FFFFFF",
flashvars:"file=http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false" };
UFO.create(FO,"simpsons_CUT.flv");
</script>

</body>
</html>

and

code:
<html>
<body>

<div id="mvcontainer"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv","ply","320","260","9","#FFFFFF");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam("flashvars","file=http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flvℑ=https://media.dreamhost.com/mp4/preview.jpg");
s1.write("mvcontainer");
lt;/script>

</body>
</html>

The file is located at http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv

With the first code, the movie doesnt seem to load at all, while with the second code, the error of "Get Flash Player" seems to come up.

Any help would be appreciated

You need a player to play the video... look at the examples on the DreamHost wiki and notice how they link to a .swf file where you're linking directly to the .flv.

I have had a look at the wiki, thats where the first code came from =/

The problem is that you replaced the player URL (highlighted in blue below) with the URL of your flv file... try changing it back.

code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://media.dreamhost.com/ufo.js"></script>
<p id="sample.flv"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</p>

<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"https://media.dreamhost.com/mediaplayer.swf",width:"320",height:"240",majorversion:"7",build:"0",bgcolor:"#FFFFFF",
flashvars:"file=https://media.dreamhost.com/sample.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false" };
UFO.create(FO,"sample.flv");
</script>

You could also upload a flash video player to your own site if you don't want to use DreamHost's copy.

If you are looking for other flv players this is a good one: http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

You can also add plugins to it for ratings and other stuff.

JW fails at life, get FlowPlayer

http://sonicsam.net for example (720p too!)

RE: Embedding .flv file into a website by Mike on 01-22-2009 at 09:41 PM

ALL flv players that use Flash suck. Period.

Suggestion: Use DivX Web Player.

RE: Embedding .flv file into a website by prashker on 01-22-2009 at 09:51 PM

hey cool lets use a player nobody has!

Your site fails at streaming the video fast enough to show me the video's. I'll look into flowplayer tho.
