So this little exercise started with the fact I was introduced to the JW FLV Media Player<\/strong><\/a> a few weeks back. Today, I wanted to share an flash video and thought it would be a good time to hack Gallery2 to use this flv video player.<\/p>\n

If you’ve seen flash videos in my Gallery<\/a> before, you’ve noticed it was using the default G2flv (Gallery2 Flash Video) player:<\/p>\n

\"G2flv<\/p>\n

One of the things I disliked about it was that it didn’t have a full screen mode, and it’s double-size feature behaved differently in IE and Firefox.<\/p>\n

So I downloaded the latest version of JW FLV Media Player (currently at 4.3) and uploaded into the libs folder: \/modules\/flashvideo\/lib<\/p>\n

Then I had to modify modules\/flashvideo\/classes\/FlashVideoRenderer.class to tell it to use the new flv player. I would highly recommend you back up that file before you modify it. Here’s a copy of what my resulting FlashVideoRenderer.class looks like: FlashVideoRenderer.class using JW FLV Media Player<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll explain the changes I made.<\/p>\n

I disabled forceSessionId<\/em> as the url generated wasn’t like by the script. I’m guessing it did not like the ‘?’. I also added a pointer to the new .js file and updated the playerUrl.<\/p>\n

$urlGenerator =& $gallery->getUrlGenerator();
\n$src = $urlGenerator->generateUrl(
\n        array('view' => 'core.DownloadItem',
\n              'itemId' => $entity->getId(),
\n              'serialNumber' => $entity->getSerialNumber()),
\n        array('forceFullUrl' => true,'forceSessionId' => false<\/strong>,
\n              'htmlEntities' => false));
\nlist ($width, $height, $title) =
\n        array($entity->getWidth(), $entity->getHeight(),
\n              $item->getTitle());
\nGalleryCoreApi::requireOnce(
\n    'lib\/smarty_plugins\/modifier.markup.php');
\n$title = smarty_modifier_markup($title, 'strip');
\n 
\n\/* Default player: G2flv.swf *\/
\n$swfObjectUrl = $urlGenerator->generateUrl(
\n        array('href' => 'modules\/flashvideo\/lib\/swfobject.js'),
\n        array('forceFullUrl' => true));<\/strong>
\n$playerUrl = $urlGenerator->generateUrl(
\n        array('href' => 'modules\/flashvideo\/lib\/player.swf<\/strong>'),
\n        array('forceFullUrl' => true));
\n$flashVars = 'flvUrl=' . urlencode($src) . '&amp;Width=' . $width .
\n            '&amp;Height=' . $height . '&amp;title=' .
\n            urlencode($title);
\n$extraAttr = '';<\/code><\/p>\n

This remaining was basically following the instructions on JW FLV Media Player on how to use their code. I also added another paragraph where I would put the fallback code (e.g. Download Movie<\/em>). If you prefer that to only show up when the item could not load, I would suggest putting the %s in the paragraph above.<\/p>\n

return sprintf(
\n    '<div id="flashvideo">
\n 
\n        <p id="%s" %s%s><\/p>
\n        <p id="fallback">%s<\/p>
\n 
\n        <script type="text\/javascript" src="%s"><\/script>
\n        <script type="text\/javascript">
\n        var s1 = new SWFObject("%s","player","%s","%s","9");
\n        s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
\n        s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
\n        s1.addParam("flashvars","file=%s");
\n        s1.write("%s");
\n        <\/script>
\n 
\n    <\/div>',
\n 
\n    !empty($params['id']) ? $params['id'] : 'movie',
\n    !empty($params['class']) ?
\n        ' class="' . $params['class'] . '"' : '', $extraAttr,
\n    $fallback, $swfObjectUrl, $playerUrl, $width,
\n    $height, $src,
\n    !empty($params['id']) ? $params['id'] : 'movie');<\/code><\/p>\n

I’ll probably update my Gallery2 mp3 audio player to use this new player some time in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
