Workaround can be
use aui-swf plugin, configure the "flashVars" param.
include flvplayer to be rendered by aui, and the flv file from document library is passed as source to flvplayer.
Webcontent Structure & template is very helpful in this.

Thanks Manuel de la Peña.It is working fine.
For encoding we can use $escapeTool.url like this
<a href="$escapeTool.url($video.getData())" >

Hey

Manuel de la Peña:

'$video.getData()' refers to a DL link, p.e. "/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=16b8ef99-0b76-451c-b92d-708da057e068&groupId=10802"

Encode the Document Library URLs using http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

Michael Poznecki:

You need to go with a FLV player. Windows media player has too many problems working with all browsers. FLV players are very easy to use and there are many free samples out there.

Hello Jignesh and Michael!

I've tried without the classid and there is no result.

I'm trying now with flv players ('flowplayer' look nice) and i think the problem is when accesing DocumentLibrary. I get success with internet files but no luck with DL files. I've tried local files in a HTML example and got success

My VM template's code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/html/themes/my_theme/javascript/flowplayer-3.1.2.min.js"></script>
<p align="center">
<a href="$video.getData()" style="display:block;width:320px;height:290px" id="player"> </a>
</p>
<!-- this will install flowplayer inside previous A- tag. -->
<script>
flowplayer("player", "/html/themes/my_theme/video/flowplayer-3.1.2.swf");
</script>

I have the scripts and .swf player in those locations, so i think the problem is accesing DL from the player embeded in firefox.

'$video.getData()' refers to a DL link, p.e. "/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=16b8ef99-0b76-451c-b92d-708da057e068&groupId=10802"

Many thanks for your comments!

Hi manuel,

If you remove that classid then it will work for you and also you have to add one more parameter mediafile.

Thanks

Hello! i'm working in this too.

I've achieved it, using Windows Media Player embebbed in web page, but only works in IExplore, not in firefox.

I've followed these instructions

but the point is that it doesn't work for me in Firefox.

This is my HTML code for the Structure-Theme created:

<object id="MMPlayer1" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" type="application/x-oleobject" height="238" width="240" align="absmiddle" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95">
<param name="FileName" value="$video.getData()">
<param name="ShowControls" value="0">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="0">
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="0">
<param name="DefaultFrame" value="Slide">
<param name="PlayCount" value="1">
<param name="Autostart" value="1">
<embed src="$video.getData()" width="290" height="320" autostart="1" loop="0" align="absmiddle" type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/download/default.asp" showcontrols="1" showdisplay="0" showstatusbar="1"> </object>

Many thanks!

Video Portlet like YouTube and take video from Document Library Portlet

Hi,

How can I create a video portlet as follows :-
1. Similar to you tube.
2. Should take video files from document library portlet

Also, is there any converter that will be associated with Liferay to convert the video formats to .swf or .flv on the fly when user uploads videos to the document library portlet?

Thanks in advance.
