- Added XML Playlist support!
- Added ability to link to ANY video in the Drupal system, and create a playlist with ANY number of videos!
- Added the ability to have a intro video!!!
- Added PostgreSQL support!
- Added the ability to include a logo (watermark) in the bottom right corner, along with external links!
Excited yet!? Let me show you how to use all these new wonderful features.
1.) The flashvideo_playlist.php file and some Database changes.
The first thing that you will need to do when you download this new version is to run the database update script. I made a significant amount of changes to the database structure to be more like the "Drupal way". After you have done this, you will then need to copy the flashvideo_playlist.php file to your root Drupal directory (where index.php resides). You need this file as an interface between the Flash Player and the Drupal file system. Basically this is where I send an XML playlist structure to the Flash Player to allow you to have any number of video's play! To learn more on how I do this, I go into great detail in my tutorial Interfacing Flash with Drupal. You have to manually copy this file, because Drupal wouldn't let me do it automatically for you since it is in the root path.
2.) The [video] tag additions.
So here is how you take advantage of the changes... Basically there are two new parameters for the [video] tag. They are as follows...
Please note: As of version 1.8, you no longer need to specify "all" if you wish to include all nodes. Simply omitting "node=all" and including the fids parameter is now enough to get those video files.- node - This tag specifies the node in which you are referencing. If you don't want to direct it to another node, then just omit this tag. You can specify all nodes by saying node=all
- fids - This is a list of File ID's separated by a "-". This is how you can specify many different files to add to the playlist. You can specify all files by saying fids=all.
Here are some examples to help you out...
- [video:node=all:fids=100-150] - Will play video file 100 followed by 150. Node doesn't matter
- [video:node=2:fids=34-35-23] - Will play files 34, 35, and 23 filtered by node 2. If any of those files are not in node 2, then they won't play
- [video] - Nothing changes... works just like the old way. Plays the first video in the current node. The same goes if you specify the index
- [video:node=all:fids=all] - Will play all Flash Video files in your whole Drupal site!
3.) The FlashVideo Settings additions.
There are some more settings that I would also like for you to be aware of. The first one that you will notice is that there is now a drop-down FlashPlayer Settings section. This will basically allow you to take advantage of some features in the Flash Player. Probably the COOLEST is the ability to now have an intro video! This is really what I added the playlist capability for, but then just went crazy after realizing how freakin awesome it was to have playlist capability. All you have to do is specify your intro video in that box and you are done. You just need to make sure it is in your output directory. Also, another really cool thing that I added was the ability to have your logo show up in the bottom right hand side of the video. Just give it an image and you are done! Now the other two (Image Intro, and Image Time) frustrated me.... According to the Flash Players website, it says that I can specify an image here and it will show up like an intro. However, I have not been able to get this to work the way it says. I still included it in hopes that Joroen Wijering will come out with an update.
Well, there was just a small intro to some of the many enhancements in version 1.7. I hoped this little intro to version 1.7 helped out!
Enjoy!

How to create custom thumbnails without FFMPEG.
How can i create a thumbnail for a video without FFMPEG and without performance loss? I think such a simple ability must present into your module.
I am sorry, but to extract a
I am sorry, but to extract a thumbnail from a video source requires some kind of video encoder (such as FFMPEG). Without FFMPEG, you will not be able to create a thumbnail. What is keeping you from having FFMPEG?... It is free and available for all platforms. Let me know if I can assist further.
What about custom thumbnail?
But what if i have got low-resolution video and i want to create an exactly "custom" thumbnail without moire and blurriness?
Such an ability woulb be great.
you can create thumbnails manually
I personally used QuickTime to export one frame as .png image with the same filename as video and uploaded this image to a directory where thumbnails and output video files are kept. This way you can have any frame as your video thumbnail as you want. This is a manual process and only reason I did it this way, because for some reason ffmpeg stopped creating thumbnails in about 8 instances out of 10. At first this module worked like a charm, but at some point it stopped creating thumbnails. Most of the time only videos appear in the output folder. I wish I knew how to fix that.
Hi, This module works
Hi,
This module works great.
I have uploaded two flv files and have been able to successfully play the two files. However I am interested in displaying a list of all the available videos so the user has an option to play a video of his/her choice.
Is this achievable with this module?
Regards,
Qudsiyya
You can do this easily using
You can do this easily using the Views module and the FlashVideo Views plugin.

This playlist feature is available in drupal 5.0 version only.
Are you planing to incorporate it in 4.7 ?
I personally did not submit
I personally did not submit the 4.7 version for the FlashVideo module. This was done by ore. You might drop him a line and see if he is willing to take on this endeavor. If not, then I might see if I can fit it in my busy schedule.
thanks for the new
thanks for the new features...
Just querious to know, are you planning to add any new feature to this module?
I have one request..
I am always looking for suggestions...
And your request is?....
how can we do this
I have able to get this module work on my site.
I see two issues here
1. I don't think my users will take the pain to add [video] tag when ever they upload a video nor it looks professional to ask them to put this tag :D
2. Even if I force them to put that tag all the time its hard to a novice to put it as my site uses widget text editor. This editor shows up the tag as text and not as the code/tag to work on.
So they had to click source then add the [video] tag?
Can we do it other way? Add this tag for specific node in script level so that we dont need to add nor ask visitors to put the tag:D
Cheers
Of course you can! You can
Of course you can!
You can just create a template for that node type, and include the [video] tag in that Template. You do this using the Content Template Module. Just create a predefined Body and Teaser for your node type, and in those templates you would provide the [video] tag. However, you might need to change the weight of the Contemplate module for it to work correctly. Look at some of the Forum topics to figure out how to do this.
Thanks,
Travis.
Problems
I am not sure if I missed anything but I have downloaded this module and unzipped then uploaded to modules folder. I have enabled it at modules thru admin then granted access to registered members.
I have then tried to upload a mpg4 file using upload option.
filled body and title then clicked "submit" button the post has been properly prompted to front page as usual but I don't see a video file in the post. When I click edit I see a file attached at upload filed.
Can you throw some light on this please.
Cheers
Upgrade Problem
Thanks for the update Travis, I was testing the playlist function with the stand alone Joroen player and I'm overjoyed at having it integrated into your module and drupal.
However, I'm seeing a very strange error after I have updated to 1.7
on http://www.yogayak.com/drupal5/?q=node/197 you can see the player and the available video.flv (as attachement) but the player seems to be stuck at the halfway point and the play and pause button show up at the same time.
I've updated the database and uploaded the playlist php file to the root drupal directory
Any suggestions?
Love and light
Joroen's Flash Player does
Joroen's Flash Player does this when it can't find a video to play.
When I looked at your source for the page above, it was telling me the that the FlashPlayer is grabbing the url
http://www.yogayak.com/drupal5/flashvideo_playlist.php?nid=197&fids=11&repeat=list&autostart=true
However, when I went to that url, I didn't get any return from your system. Please verify that you video you wish to play is in Node 197 and that the File ID is 11. If you wish to point to another video in another node, then you must use the tag [video:node=all:fids=11]
Thanks,
Travis.
[video] was the tag used for
[video] was the tag used for that first test page.
Trying video:node=all:fids=11 (or all) does not work.
I created another test page at http://www.yogayak.com/drupal5/?q=node/198 and used the simple [video] and the video:node=all:fids=all and I get the same problem.
The attachement link works so the video is in the proper place.
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
Love and light
-edit-
To try to recreate a possible error I've installed a fresh copy of drupal 5.1 on another site. I added the flashvideo 1.7 module, added the playlist php file to the drupal root, activated video for pages, created a page, uploaded video.flv and then used the [video] tag. The test failed and I got that "half loaded" player again. I then removed the playlist php file and tried again. This time it worked on http://michelgingras.com/drupal/?q=node/1
I'm sorry to be a pest, I just hope I can be helpfull to others that might encounter this problem.
Need for clarification
node - This tag specifies the node in which you are referencing. If you don't want to direct it to another node, then just omit this tag. You can specify all nodes by saying node=all
I'm not sure what to make of this. The 'node in which I'm referencing' is the node I'm creating, right? Does this relate to referencing a video that is attached to another node? Direct what to another node?
[video:node=all:fids=100-150] - Will play video file 100 followed by 150. Node doesn't matter.
Again, I'm not getting this. Am I constructing a playlist by searching through all nodes until I find video files that match these fid's?
Finally, I'm new to 'fid.' What is an easy way to get the fid of a file I have uploaded to drupal?
Please forgive my ignorance. I do appreciate your work!
Forgive me for not making
Forgive me for not making this more clear.
About your node question. When you upload a video, you are attaching that video to a node. Previous versions of FlashVideo would only let you reference videos in the same node as the tag. When I say reference, I mean "point to". When you specify a tag [video], what I actually do with that tag is replace the [video] tag with the object code for the video....but what video? Well, if you just specify [video], then I will replace that tag with the first video uploaded to that node. Well, the only way around this is to allow for a wildcard to specify that I want to search ALL nodes instead of the default which is just the node that is currently being shown. That is what the node=all does.... it is a wildcard. The same goes for the fids. You can create a playlist for every single video in your system by saying [video:node=all:fids=all], although I wouldn't recommend it.
The fid is simply the File ID... and no... there really isn't a good way to find it without the use of code. The reason why I did this is because the File ID is a short way of representing a file, and I can guarantee that the File ID (or fid) will be unique accross your entire Drupal system. I guess it would have been better to just have people provide the path to their file. Maybe in a later version, I will add this.
Great tutorial
you 've describe the whole process of setting up flash in a simple way, good work.
One problem though, where do i find [video] tag, as you ve described it in your section 2.) The [video] tag additions...
Cheers...
I am not sure I understand
I am not sure I understand your question as to where do you find the [video] tag...
The [video] tag is just used to indicate where in the node body you would like to place your video. The parameters passed to this [video] tag are used to change behavior.
Thanks,
Travis.
To many unanswered items for me.
Ok first off I have been chasing around this module for a day now and keep coming back to the same place Zero.
I have seen several requests for the proper pathing and yet NONE
also the answers are given with the assumption that the people viewing them is on a first name basis with Druapal. NOT correct
As to the tag in the tutorial you make the statement just put [thumbnail] in the body Humm nothing else with or with out the brackets? just one of many items that are unanswered.
Now I would really like to use the application but the time I have spent reading and coming right back to nowhere has now taken it's toll.
I paid a visit to http://phpmotion.com and with in 3 min's had a fully working site up and going with zero troubles and easy to understand directions. As well not need to mess with Cron "why is this required???"
If you could at least take the time to WRITE a top down generic install that even someone who has never used Drupal can deal with I would think your exposure would be much better.
Now that being said I did download the video module and from the instructions it worked first time. so I know my system with ffmpeg is working but the path and other items are yet to be understood in CLEAR text with some form of flow and not jumping all over the place with one liner statements that really don't provide a good guage.
thanks for allowing me to sound off it's really upsetting to spend three hours of reading for nothing but failure.
spike.
1 up for Flashvideo
Well..I think FlashVideo is easy to work with and while is it still maturing it is developed enough to work on a production site. Some notes that it does conflict with something but I couldn't figure out what..I mean by that is another module but that's another story. Overall it is a good development for adding flv and soon mp4 to Drupal (already tested the mp4 file on the beta flashplayer and it works fine but no full screen controls fuctions yet, just remember to relabel your mp4 files with flv extentions). I can't fathom why someone really would have trouble using this since the instructions are cut and dry. I just tested the playlist function of this module and worked the first time though I'm opting to using the jw playlist function since it has a nice playlist selection list on the side of the player.
Also, drupal does more then just stream video's, you can create any site you want with it. PHPmotion you can only develop a youtube like site and the license is not to clear on as the developer is putting restrictions on it, such as no adult video or you must pay for credit to be removed. While this is not any concern of mine, I'd like to know what licenses are issued on the scripts I'm using or I'll be at the whim of the developer who may change their attitude and start encrypting there source files which then leaves developers in the dust.
Also, the developer of Flashvideo is using their own time to further this module. And still so as I see there is a drupal 6 module already listed. I'd rather use something that is continually evolving and that the developer answers questions in the forum, at drupal, and in the comments. If you in some rut, you can always contact them directly and perhaps they will offer their services for a fee. Shoot, I saw a post where the admin help someone out to setup the whole thing for free, that's a helping hand that you don't see often.
Just look where it started from and all the features that it has now. Obviously someone is working hard on it to solve all problems and to make it better.
Don't whine and say you tried for 3 hours. You either don't follow directions well or just gave up sooner then 3 hours since many people have set it up, used it, and are using it on there websites.
deadlyromio, You completely
deadlyromio,
You completely just made my day! Heck, you just made my year! Sometimes I wonder if I am crazy for dishing out so much of my personal time to do what seems like baby stepping people with issues to getting this module working for them. It is people like you who make it completely worth while. Your appreciation is what keeps me VERY active and proud of my work. See, the thing is, it really bothers me when people have issues with this module. That is why I act fast to help them out and most of the time for free (unless their requests are just flat out crazy). :)
Regardless, I have tried my best and sometimes more than my best to lend a helping hand to those who are having problems, and evolve my methods to make it easier for them. That is why I just recently created the Troubleshooting the FlashVideo Module article on this site. I want to create a single place to direct people when they are having issues, rather than dig through hundreds of posts.
So say the least... FlashVideo Module is my work, and has my name attached to it. I am proud of my work and will always refine it to be the best it can possibly be. That is why I will always be here when people have issues with it...
Again, thank you for the support, deadlyromio. I don't think you realize how happy your last post made me.
Thanks,
Travis Tidwell
