FLVPlayer

I’m proud to present the first version of FLVPlayer. It has the bare minimum of functionality that you would expect from a video player.

• Play button
• Pause button
• Seek bar
  1. as indication of how much movie there is and how much of it you’ve already seen
  2. as a seek control

The player interface is visible when your mouse is hovering over it and otherwise invisible! The movie to play is given as an parameter to the SWF.

How to use FLVPlayer on your website

Here’s the HTML code that you would use to display your flv movie on your website.

<object classid = “clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase = “http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0″ width = “640″ height = “480″ id = “VideoPlayer” align = “middle”> <param name = “allowScriptAccess” value = “*” /><param name = “allowFullScreen” value = “true” /><param name = “movie” value = “http://www.platipus.nl/flvplayer/download/1.0/FLVPlayer.swf?video=[your_video].flv” /> <param name = “quality” value = “high” /> <param name = “bgcolor” value = “#ffffff” /> <embed src = “http://www.platipus.nl/flvplayer/download/1.0/FLVPlayer.swf?video=[your_video].flv” quality = “high” bgcolor = “#ffffff” width = “640″ height = “480″ name = “VideoPlayer” align = “middle” allowScriptAccess = “*” allowFullScreen = “true” type = “application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage = “http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” /> </object>

It’s that simple. Just copy and paste this into your HTML page!

Here’s an example where I have it working embbed in a real website.
