JW FLV player that switches playlists on the fly

Posted on by

The JW FLV player is a versatile, customizable and scriptable flash video player, available from Longtailvideo.com. The player was recently upgraded, and many details in the scripting and playlists had to change to remain compatible. I’m posting examples of some of the players I’ve created lately, using the latest version of the player and SWFObject.

Versions

  • Player: JW FLV player 4.6
  • SWFObject: 2.1
  • Red5 Streaming server using RTMPT or RTMP

    • This is an example of a current-version player that changes playlists on the fly when you click a link or button.

    I can’t show you a working demo because I don’t have an external Red5 server but here is how it looks. When the page loads, the player loads the first playlist.

    The JW FLV player is a versatile, customizable and scriptable flash video player, available from Longtailvideo.com. The player was recently upgraded, and many details in the scripting and playlists had to change to remain compatible. Since it can be difficult to figure out the details of the necessary changes, I’m posting examples of some of the players I’ve created lately, using the latest version of the player and SWFObject.

    Versions

    • Player: JW FLV player 4.6
    • SWFObject: 2.1
    • Red5 Streaming server using RTMPT or RTMP

    This is an example of how to put two or more JW FLV players on a page, side by side. I can’t show you a working demo because I don’t have an external Red5 server but here is how it looks.

    <= Back to previous section “Create a Branch”

      NOTE: This section of the Eclipse CVS tutorial is based on Paul Glezen’s article on the Eclipse website: Branching with Eclipse and CVS, and is used with his permission under the terms of the EPL license. The changes I am making to his version are mainly to expand it with more step by step images and explanations, and integrate it with my own beginner tutorials in an attempt to make it more accessible to beginners and designers. Experienced developers will probably prefer to work from Paul’s version.
    1. Paul is working in the branch p1test. Open f1.txt in the text editor (Double-click f1.txt or right click it and select Open in Text Editor).

      Now that you have created a project, the other people on your team should check it out from CVS. If they aren’t sure how to check out a project from CVS, have them view this tutorial then return here.

      Scenario walkthrough

      We’ll be following the workflow shown in the diagram below. This article will employ a scenario of two programmers, Paul and Wing, working on separate branches of the same project.

    When working together in a team, developers often need to isolate code lines from each other to prevent conflicts. Besides the possibility of simply stepping on each other’s toes and overwriting new versions with older versions, different functions under development may conflict with each other while being tested.

    To prevent this, projects can be developed in concurrent paths, with one path being devoted to the main line of development and others set aside for testing new features or bugfixes. One line can be kept stable or close to stable, with others not yet even in testing. Several common configuration strategies are used for team collaboration on software development.
