Using FF Matrix with streaming video
Development and Programming
OK…So I’m loving the FieldFrame Extension, but having a little trouble pathing my streaming video.
I have been able to get it to work when using downloadable video using the following code:
<trackList>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="media_gallery" limit="1" disable="trackbacks|categories|pagination|category_fields|member_data"}
{media_videos}
<track>
<title>{cell_1}</title>
<annotation>{cell_2}</annotation>
<location>http://media.lpb.org/{cell_3}_iPod.mp4</location>
<image>http://img.youtube.com/vi/{cell_3}/0.jpg</image>
</track>
{/media_videos}
{/exp:weblog:entries} </trackList>
</playlist>What I would like to do is to get my streaming video to play. We have 2 types of video, high-quality streaming video and lower-quality podcast video. We generally export each video to 2 locations: one can be downloaded and saved (iPod) and one streams on our website (higher quality). Below is the playlist code we have been using with the longtail player, with the rtmp stream path.

<tracklist>

<track>

<annotation>Capitol Beat</annotation>
<jwplayer:file>programs/{capitol_video}_web.mp4</jwplayer:file>
<jwplayer:streamer>rtmp://media.lpb.org/vod</jwplayer:streamer>
</track>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</tracklist>
</playlist>How do I path it when using the FF Matrix playlist code? I have already tried just replacing location and image with the jwplayer lines, but that didn’t work.
Thanks!
Just wondering if anyone can help with this…
I have been able to get this to work with downloadable video, but not with streaming.
<trackList>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="media_gallery" limit="1" disable="trackbacks|categories|pagination|category_fields|member_data"}
{media_videos}
<track>
<title>{cell_1}</title>
<annotation>{cell_2}</annotation>
<location>http://media.lpb.org/{cell_3}_iPod.mp4</location>
<image>http://img.youtube.com/vi/{cell_3}/0.jpg</image>
</track>
{/media_videos}
{/exp:weblog:entries} </trackList>
</playlist>GOT IT!!!
Just in case someone else has the same problem….
Here’s the code that works for streaming:
<trackList>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="media_gallery" limit="1" disable="trackbacks|categories|pagination|category_fields|member_data"}
{media_videos}
<track>
<title>{cell_1}</title>
<annotation>{cell_2}</annotation>
<image></image>
<location>programs/{cell_3}_web.mp4</location>
<meta rel='streamer'>rtmp://media.lpb.org/vod</meta>
<meta rel="type">rtmp</meta>
</track>
{/media_videos}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</trackList>
</playlist>It was the <meta rel=’streamer’>rtmp path</meta> and <meta rel=”type”>rtmp</meta> that did the trick!
