« The download page is updated
Updated FLV Player interface »

Feel free to use the FLV Player in your website

Besides the visual update that I just posted about, there’s also a new tool included in the download page that can help you install a FLV Player to your website. Just fill in the publicly accessible location of your Flash video (*.flv) and a piece of HTML code will be generated once you press “Generate HTML”. Just copy and paste that into your HTML page and that page will display your movie through the FLV Player.

Alternatively you can use the download link to download the compiled FLV Player swf and place that too on your own domain. To play your video use a parameter video with the location of your Flash video. Like this; FLVPlayer.swf?video=yourvideo.swf

Have fun with it!

    I would like to use your FLV Player for streaming video in mythweb (www.mythtv.org) How can i enable full screen? I tried
    ?video=&allowFullScreen=true and ?video=&allowFullScreen=”true” but so far no luck. I like the looks of the player!

    Have you tried the HTML generator on the FLV player download page?
    It important that the html code that you use contains the following HTML elements;
    <param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true” />
    and
    <embed …allowFullScreen=”true”…/>

    Because this informs the browsers that display the FLV player that it’s okay to allow the Flash plugin to go fullscreen.
    (I believe that the param element is according to W3C standards and that the embed is needed for old Mozilla based browsers that don’t obey the standard.)

    This is a great work. I liked the player much. Also thanks for making it free to use.

    Just one issue I faced, as i tried to load the html page with my flv video using FlashVar “autoplay=false”, the video screen goes black. As I moved my cursor and clicked on the Play button, the video got loaded then. It wud have been good if the first frame of the flv video gets visible as the page loads.

    Thanks again!

    I wonder if you can tell me why when I play video the buffering icon in the middle of the screen does not go away. Is this because the hosting of the .swf file is in Europe and I am in North America? Would hosting the .swf on my website stop that from happening?

    Good player otherwise!
