I have a video player on my site that plays videos.  In the code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" orderby="date" search:video_url=".flv" sort="desc" limit="1" rdf="off" disable="trackbacks"}

It calls .flv videos and that’s the format the videos have been in up until now.  I worked out that if I change

search:video_url=".flv"

to

search:video_url=".mp4"

It will call the test video I put on the server and play that format of video as well (ok I know I’m a dense child its taken me all this time to work out the player will play other video formats!)

Is there a way where I can call both url file types?  I only ask because I’m thinking of taking my iPad on my trip with me instead of the laptop.  I can do most things with it including edit video and upload either to youtube or via an FTP app to my own site however I do not think the app saves in “.flv” since the iPad doesn’t support flash anyway.

I was trying to switch the player over to a html5 player with fall back to flash, but while I can get them to function with one video I can not get any of the ones that offer the ‘playlist’ function to work.  I do not suppose anyone has had a play with this and managed to get it working with ee?

oh, and I’m using 1.6 ee not 2.

This may be a little late but the “search:” does allow for multiples as long as they are separated by a pipe. http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/weblog/parameters.html#par_search

search:body=“pickles|shoes”
*this is a ‘Contains’ example which will look for the criteria anywhere in the custom field.

Your code would be:

search:video_url=”.flv|.mp4”

Hope this helps.
