Hello,
Although I wrote a script to allow auto thumbnailing of video and generation of playlists, I've run across a very annoying problem. I don't think it has anything to do with 4images, although I could be wrong.
I have added links under embedded video to a playlist. Clicking on that immediately streams the file. I've also tested this using mplayer from the command line: instant stream !
But, I cannot get the embedded video to stream. For a start the whole thing, in Firefox on windows at least, is restricted to the MS Windows Media Player browser plugin. It just
REFUSES to stream the file, although sometimes it downloads the whole thing and then plays it. I've tried adding an autostart="true" option, but it doesn't make any difference.
Here's my altered mpg.html file ...
<!-- Template file for MPEG Movies -->
<embed src="{media_src}" border="0" width="352" height="288" type="application/x-mplayer2" autostart="true"></embed><br />
<a href="{media_src}.pls">Open in external player (PLS)</a><br />
<a href="{media_src}.m3u">Open in external player (M3U)</a><br />
I've tried adding a ".m3u"
Here is an example gallery page.
