TOPIC: Embedding video & audio

Embedding video & audio 1 year, 11 months ago #287

Not an admin question as such, but does anyone have any ideas about the best way to embed audio or video within a text container? Somerset had a fantastic tool for doing exactly this in Fronter, using video or audio files that had already been uploaded to a fronter Resource folder, but has been down for sometime.
Thanks

If the videofile is in flv format you can use JW-player

Download the player and place it in a resourse folder that everyone can reach.

Then use the following embedd code

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='600' height='450' id='player1' name='player1'>
   <param name='movie' value='ADRESS_TO_PLAYER'>
   <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
   <param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
   <param name='flashvars' value='file=ADDRESS_TO_FILE&dock=true'>
<embed
   src="ADDRESS_TO_PLAYER" 
   width="600"
   height="450"
   allowscriptaccess="always"
   allowfullscreen="true"
   id="player1"
   name="player1"
   flashvars="file=ADDRESS_TO_FILE&dock=true"
/>
</object>


There is alot of different settings but the above is some example code to get you going.

For Audio I have no suggestion but to wait until the new soundplayer to fronter is released with Y11 and we will find out what it will be able to do.

Douglas's solution is the only one I have come up with for FLV files. For many other common media types (eg MPG, WMV, MP3) you can usually assume that the end user's browser will have a player installed. So a simple embed code entered in the Source view will work:

For video: <embed height="344" width="425" autostart="false" src="LINK"></embed>
For MP3 audio: <embed height="60" width="425" autostart="false" src="LINK" type="audio/mpeg"></embed>
