How to put player within article? was created by born2fly
I am somewhat of a Joomla novice. I need some help figuring out how to put the player in an article instead of a location outside of the article.

Currently using a picture within the article as a place holder for the player, once I get some help on how to do it.

thank you,
Rich

Argghh I'm back - need player help. I am using joomla 1.6 now. I am trying to create a page (article) with mutliple pics (links) for specfic videos (non utube). I'm really green when trying to get the player working so I'd apreciate some guidance with that in mind.

What I need to know is how to get the player to show a specfic video. Do I need to place a text link on the page and/or link it to an image/icon on the page(article)? Also - is it just a simple command or is it necessary to embed a bunch of code for each video. I'm hoping to keep things simple.

Thanks for your time explaining this to me,
Rich :unsure:

I installed the plugin. Having some difficulty in cofiguring HD, it says "HD not set" even though I have it activated. I have activatedRMTP, but HD still not set. A bit confused - What else do I need to set up?

Hello,

this mean that you haven't set an hd file -->

&hd.file=address_of_the_hd_file

ok thanks...and where exactly do I put that code?? Also, where should I locate my video files? I am having an issue trying to get them to play from the current folder, which is probably the wrong folder to store them.

Thank you,
Rich

Hello,

1 - the plugin is a content plugin, so to be trigg it need specific meta tag inside the article
Code:
{jwplayer}{/jwplayer}

the address of the content to display must be place between this meta tag
Code:
{jwplayer}https://www.joomlarulez.com/images/stories/playlist/big_buck_bunny/bunny.flv{/jwplayer}

2 - The content can be store anywhere you want, you can create a directory inside your "images" directory and upload your video content inside (by ftp or any extension who upload files)

3 - Then for the hd file it will be

Code:
{jwplayer} --> the trigger open &file=address_of_the_sd_file --> The SD file &hd.file=address_of_the_hd_file --> The HD file {/jwplayer} --> the trigger closed

-->
Code:
{jwplayer}&file=address_of_the_sd_file&hd.file=address_of_the_hd_file{/jwplayer}
