I Need a Video Module!!!!

[fLoW]

How can I get one of those.... I wish to put it at the portal.... :rolleyes: If i can do something better with it, just let me know!!! :confused:

[m0nde]

If by a "video module" you mean you want to show video in a vbadvanced module, try this:

http://www.bostonlove.org/index.php?page=cams

I've set up an embedded object to automatically play a video file in the top module and set up IFRAMEs below to point to some online web cams.

For the video, add a template called adv_portal_video1

In that template, put the following:


<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] REPLACE THIS WITH THE NAME OF THIS BLOCK </span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%" align="center">
<div align="center">
<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=240 classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="FileName" value="path\to\your\video.avi">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="http://www.yoururl.com/path/to/your/video.avi"
name="MediaPlayer"
autostart=1
width=320
height=240>
</embed>
</object>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="center"><span class="smallfont">REPLACE WITH FOOTER TEXT OR REMOVE THIS</span></td>

</tr>
</table>
<br />


Notice the various parameters of the mediaplayer object:
In this example, the video automatically starts playing and is set to play at a resolution of 320x240 pixels. Also, don't forget to place the path to your file in both places.

Now add a module and name it whatever you wish.
Add the template, (ie. video1) and add it to your page.

Cheers!

Try placing exact path from your server url link.
I got this @ my site http://www.theundergroundsource.com/ but have no videos but I test it with a video link & it does work.

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">

[fLoW]

Another thing Lead W.. how do u do that banner module that u have at the bottom of ur page...?

[10ox37]

very cool. thanks.

Is there a way to make it so the video doesnt start by itself? So you have to hit the play button for it to work.

Yes, a play button is on the WMP.

Mine works, just do not have videos from bands. and as for the banner ads. I see if I can get it linked. :)

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

U need exact path for your videos to make it work. I only assume that this is your path. :confused:

1 : http://www.mipage.com/myvideos/guanabana.mpeg
2 : http://www.mipage.com/forums/myvideos/guanabana.mpeg
3 : or what ever it is. U can find out in your File Manager & click on where the video is exactly & it should give u a url link :D

The problem is that I dont have to hit the play button. The video starts all buy itself without me hitting the button and I dont want it to do that.

[Regs]

Try changing the autostart parameter from "true" to "false" (for WMP) and from 1 to 0 (for the other player)

That should do the trick. I think. :D

Good luck!

[10ox37]

That did the trick. much thanks.

I had chenged the 1 to a 0 but it was still playing. Didnt look hard anough for the WMP setting

Go here to try new versions

[fLoW]

Ok now I dont know if this is possible, but its there a way to make this module to choose from a folder any video instead of me have to change it every other day, bcause i keep the lastest videos on the folder and it would be nice that the player choose a different one inside that specific folder!

[scr2000ge]

^^^ hey your from brooklyn like me :)

but anyway, is there a way to insert some code into that module to make it play a random video everytime the page loads? some kind of array or something. god i wish i knew how to code :(

[kevnj]

Works perfectly! 5 stars!

[OFFSHORE DAN]

Thanks for this!

[tienkhom]

How Can I disable auto star play ? Thanks for advance

[tienkhom]
