Multiple Videos on One Page

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to add more than one video to one page without using playlists. I have successfully managed to add one video to my webpage but when i try to put html code in for another one on the same page it just ignores it. Or is there a way to make thumbnails of videos and clicking on them will load the video in the player on the same page. I want to try and make my webpage as user friendly as possible to play multiple videos.

If either above options are possible, please provide some sample code.

Thanks

events

Is there a way to set a delegate to handle the events from flowplayer, instead of having them call global functions? This would help in the cases where there is several players initalized in the page.
If this is not possible, would it be possible to set an instance key, which would be sent alongside the event data, giving us a way to identify the flash object broadcasting the event?

Another thing, which is of more importance to me is if you could broadcast the OnLoad event so that we could wait for this to call setConfig (Im initalizing the player at different times in the pages lifecycle and is not able to use window.onload as an indication)

Except from that I feel that the event functions names could be a little more 'unique', as onLoadBegin and so on could allready be used inside some js frameworks (many frameworks use onLoad for instance).

Other than this, its a great player, and I love the ability to use lighttpd streaming :)

Cant play the video files from the rest of the clients

Hi,

I was given a task to create a small internal website that can play videos. There were many movies and we simply needed a website to manage them. Coming to the problem , currently I have a directory on the server machine where I dumped all the 'flv' files. I worte a webapp that will pass the location of a movie file to the page, which initializes flowplayer in the Object tag. The code looks like this:

object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FlowPlayer.swf" id="FlowPlayer" height="770" width="1210"

param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"

param name="movie" value="FlowPlayer.swf"

param name="quality" value="high" param name="scale" value="noScale"

param name="wmode" value="transparent" param name="flashvars"

value="config={videoFile:'E:\\PLACE_VENDOME\\VTS_02_1.flv'}" /object

I tested it on Tomcat and the movie plays well on the server. When I test the same on the clients, the player loads but the movie doesnt. This is the directory where I dumped all the files: "E:\\". This is an external hard disk on the server. This is an small LAN, where in the clients have a book mark of the hosted web page on the server.

Visible on the client

Maybe those files are not visible from the clients.
The folder where the files are stored should be shared and the correct path might be something like:
value="config={videoFile:'\\PCNAME\\FULLPATH\\FILENAME.flv'}"
In the case of my lan It Is:
value="config={videoFile:'\\VIDEOSERVER\video\flv\wellcome.flv'}"
Try to browse to \\PCNAME\FULLPATH\ to ensure your files are accesible to the clients. I hope this help.
Regards
