JW player skin for FLV player

[waynenort]

Hi,

Have just added the V@no helpful hint FLV player plugin at http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=23885.0
It uses the JW player from longtailvideo.com.
On the longtail site it has skins available to make the FLV player look better. at http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/skins/30/Metarby-10?q=.
The site gives this code to add into the flv.html file

Code: [Select]

si.addParam('flashvars', 'skin=/path/to/skinfile/skin.swf');
But it doesn't direct the downloaded skin.swf to the flv player. This extra piece of code also stops the player from running.
Why?

Thank Wayne

maybe your path to skin.swf is wrong. it must be relative, internet path.

Ended up going about it slightly different. Turns out the Flash source for JW player is available from their site.
Wanted to change some of the players AS functions. So at the same time - replaced the skin in the original .fla file.

Cheers, Wayne

For those who might be interested in easier way then editing .fla source this how to make it work:

Code: [Select]

  s1.addParam('flashvars','file=<?=urlencode("{media_src}")?>&autostart=true&skin=metarby10.swf');
