I’ve been working on a plugin implementation of the JW HTML5 Media Player, and it’s at the point where I’m ready to move it from alpha to beta, and have the community tear it apart. :p It’s basically a port of this page into an EE plugin, so you don’t have to worry about javascript syntax and can easily construct the player with weblog/channel tag outputs. :p

Download MC Player 0.1   0.2.1   0.2.2  0.2.3  0.2.4  0.2.5

Simple Demo

Once it’s been approved on Devot:ee, I’ll link to the page there for the support forums. EDIT: Here we go: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/mc-player., but for now, just email me with any questions/comments/bugs/etc ([REDACTED]).

The usual beta product disclaimers apply - essentially, don’t use it in a production environment.

I’ve tested the basic functionality of the plugin quite a bit, but the more advanced JSON/XML/mRSS playlists, levels, plugins, modes, and that sort of stuff could use some more pounding on. Specifically, if anyone has the ability to test with an RTMP provider, I’d be much obliged.

Depending on demand, I might end up making this a commercial add-on. If that happens, I’d definitely figure out fair compensation to anyone who contributed meaningful feedback during the beta phase, probably in the form of a free license. 😊

The readme has code examples for most scenarios; again, they basically are the “EE Code” equivalent to the Javascript examples here. The simplest example looks like this:

{exp:mc_player:play file="video.mp4" width="480" height="270" playerpath="/path/to/player.swf"}

Enjoy!

Hi Michael,

Any news on this one? Looks very useful!

EDIT Gah, wrong login.

Hi Erwin,

Development is slow, primarily due to my paying job requiring most of my time. The usual story, I suspect.  I’m also having to juggle with trying to maintain versions for both EE1 and EE2.

Regardless, it’s freely available to download from Devot:ee or Github. Was there a specific aspect or feature that you’re were looking for?

we have a custom build SAEF module where we’ll user to upload audio to our server (having a progress bar etcetera). Once uploaded, they should see an EE tag in their text. Once published (or in preview mode), it will appear as a player. File location, shape of the player etc should be totally transparent to the user.

Having an issue with some errors after I installed this plugin in EE 1.7.1

Notice: Undefined variable: script in /www/eh15jj/html/system/plugins/pi.mc_player.php on line 473 Notice: Undefined variable: playlist in /www/eh1jj/html/system/plugins/pi.mc_player.php on line 500 Notice: Undefined variable: script_end in /www/eh1jj/html/system/plugins/pi.mc_player.php on line 557

And I’ve ensured the plugin is installed and that I have this in my header: (had to remove the S in script:

<cript type='text/javascript' src='/player/jwplayer.js'></cript>
<cript type="text/javascript" src="/player/swfobject.js"></cript> 
 

{exp:mc_player:play file="{event_video}" width="400" height="302" playerpath="/player/player.swf" image="/flvplayer/player.jpg"}

The player is showing up as well as the image and plays the video just fine, just that it throws errors at the top.

You can use the audio tag format to achieve the user-transparency aspect of things - it automatically assigned a height to the player so that only the seek bar is visible, not the “video” window part.

{exp:mc_player:play file="song.mp3" width="320" height="0" playerpath="/path/to/player.swf" container_tag="audio" controlbar="bottom"}

As for the rest, it sounds like you should look into this: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/120427/

I’ve duplicated this locally and am working on it. FYI, the swfobject.js line is unnecessary.

Right on, thanks for working on this.  It’s a wonderful solution for those of use whom had flv player but can’t use it.

I’ve updated the version at GitHub & Devot:ee to 0.2.3; it should resolve any lingering “undefined variable” issues. Please let me know if it works for you. 😊

Thanks Michael!!!!! We’ll check this out asap

The plugin has been updated to 0.2.5, with a lot of bug fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. Please let me know how you fare! 😊

Hi Michael

Cheers
