Hi Ivan, You can try to display the playlist directly in your browser; as it's an XML file, browsers like Firefox and probably IE can show the XML if it's properly rendered. The address should be something like my.site/playlist?v=1,2 where 1 and 2 are for example the textpattern IDs of the uploaded videos I want to have in my playlist. By default in my installation, uploaded videos go in the "files" folder, so the XML reads the correct path in the tag... (something like my.site/files/video1_name.flv ) If the XML doesn't show up, then it may be a problem with the sent headers (you need to install the mg_setheader plugin)... Otherwise, you should be able to tell by reading it what is the problem. Hope it helps =)

Hey Zander,
I’ve updated the plugin elk_mediaplayer v0.2 with your suggestion.
You have to make some adjustments to the form to pass the new variables (sort, and sortby).
By default, the sorting should be the same as provided, as long as you keep it all IDs.
It made me learn a new sql trick on the way
Enjoy! (very nice use of the plugin on your website by the way!)

Hey Yuki,

Hope all’s well. I would like to be able to sort the playlist created from this plugin. At the moment it uses the files id ascending to create it play order. I can’t seem to use the sort attribute. Can I make it so they play in the order I enter them?
For instance:

Many thanks

Hi Randy,

The error #2032 seems to be related to Flash having issue with crossdomain.xml file

I didn’t mention that, but usually it seems you’d have to put a crossdomain.xml at the root of your domain to allow flash to access files -> see some documentation here

Tell me if that helps

Yuki:

I just wanted to let you know .. I have now got the plug in to load and the player to appear … I am close … but now I get two different error messages I was hoping you could decipher …

If I use the image ID (I assume you mean File ID) I get Error #2032.

If I use the actual file name, it states that it can not find it and provides me with the path …/playlist?v=video.flv. I have uploaded this file thru TXP. I also made a copy in a folder called “playlist”. Finally I put a copy in the root. All of theses were unsuccesful.

I have followed the instructions regarding the section; page and form. So I am now stumped. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Randy, I’ve sent you the decoded php version of the plugin, if you want to try it in the plugin folder… You can try to reimport it into the database plugins with the useful “plugin composer” extension (ied_plugin_composer)…
Hope it helps!

Yuki:

Thanks for the quick reply Uki. I tried again and got same message.

To test I uploaded a different plug in and it worked like a charm. Is there any other way we can do this. I know in the past when I have worked with Gerhard, we have had it look at a Plug In folder rather than loading thru TXP. Not sure if this is an option.

Willing to try anything. Please let me know.

Randy

Hi Randy,
I’m using the 4.06 version too, and don’t have the problem you mention… Not sure how you are proceeding?
Usually, going to admin>plugins tab and pasting all the code (select all with CTRL+A, then copy) inside the .txt file into the Install plugin area works fine…
