Attention: You have found the home of the Simple Flash Video Wordpress Plugin which is powered by the popular JW FLV Player and Thickbox. Look for a mid June Release date.

Welcome!

What separates this plugin from the rest?

  • Supports ALL variables of the JW FLV Player
  • Allows Videos to be played over the website content
  • Variables are all set in a config.xml file but can be overdid in the post
  • Easy Integration with Simple Stats

This plugin will allow you to easily replicate the look that this website has with floating video.

Look for a mid June Release date! If you would like to help test the plugin please leave a comment.

    I am having some issues with the wordpress repository so I am looking at putting up a new version which will hopefully resolve your issue.

    I have all ready emailed you with a version to try . I have not have any other emails or comments about errors and the plugin is functioning correctly for 3 blogs that I run on this server. So there may be an issue with share hosting or something that I am not aware of yet.

    Seems the cause of the error is that I programmed in PHP5. Most hosts of course have PHP4. I will see what I can do in the next few days.

    This is exactly what I have been looking for - and it works great with the exception of one issue - on my site, I get the Click to Watch link under a box with a red X. If I click to watch, it pops up and plays the video no problem. I’m sure this is something stupid I have done or not done - any direction would be appreciated.

    One other question - I am currently using

    [video filename=http://cheree.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.mp4 /]

    can’t I shorten that to just call if from the server rather than through an http connect? (I’m gonna go play with this now.)

    regards,
    Mike

    ok - I got it to use just

    [video filename=/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.mp4 /]

    Now I have no box with the red X - and no thumbnail either - just the “Click to Watch” link.

    yes you could shorten it to:

    [video filename=/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.mp4 /]

    What version are you using?

    http://cheree.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.jpg

    does not exist.

    You need to have a .jpg in the same folder with the same name as you .mp4 or .flv

    The latest version will allow you to set other images though. A new beta and then release candidate should be out soon!

    version 1.5? I just downloaded it this morning - it’s not the beta version though.

    yes - 1.5 it is

    Read my last comment…

    HTTP://CHEREE.COM/WORDPRESS/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2008/09/100_2076.JPG
    does not exist.

    The file is not there hence the Red X but the new version will handle this more gracefully.

    ok no problem, I can do that - just figured it was automatic - silly me :-)

    one last question - does the jpg file need to sized properly (i.e. like a thumbnail), or will the plugin make the thumbnail?

    needs to be sized properly.

    I would like to place it on my blog but on some pages I want video to go right away (index page) and on all others only if they click on it.Is that possible? What should I do?
    Thank you

    Yes, on the main pages you would do shadowbox=off and auto play=true and they would play automatically without needing to be clicked. The rest would use the default method of being clicked.
