Question

List of variables for included video player?

I wanted to use the included video player from Flash media server but can't find a list of variables and values to pass to the player. Is there a list and could anyone point me in the right direction? I'm specifically looking to pass a stream name for a live stream to the video player.

Thank you,

Dan

    1. Launch either live or vod player in your browser.

    2. For live:

    You may need to use Flash Media Live Encoder to send a live stream to your server.

    rtmp://Your Server Address/live/live_stream_name

    3. For VOD:

    FLV

    rtmp://Your Server Address/vod/stream_name

    MOV

    rtmp://Your Server Address/vod/mp4:stream_name.mov

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks for the reply Honglei!

    Still I believe you've misunderstood the question. What I seek is documentation on the features of the player and info on it's parameters/variables.

    I've included the FMS startpage object code and here you see a bunch of them. Take the parameters:

    • dsControl=manual (quess this is dynamic stream control)

    • dsSensitivity=100 (quess this dynamic stream sensitivity)

    • DS_Status=true (quess this dynamic stream status)

    • streamType=vod

    • ....etc

    These are just some of the parameters and I'm looking for an overview and explanation of them all.

    <object width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' name='videoPlayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&serverURL=rtmp:/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4v'/><embed src='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' quality='high' bgcolor='#000000' name='videoPlayer' allowfullscreen='true' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer'   flashvars='&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&serverURL=rtmp:/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4v' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'> </embed></object>

    Thanks

    Same here:

    Poor documentation to leave this out, I agree. Does someone have a list and explanations of the different parameters? I also need to customize the player that was included in the FMS installation.

    Tnx
