It seems that the autoplay is not working.
I set it “true” in the configuration.

Do i have to activate it elsewhere?

Wow that was quick!
Thank you very much!

Hi, is it possible to disable the preloading of the movie?

hi.
this is a very cool player. i intend to use it on my website. i now have a question about the cc license. is the link inside the player “videoplayer powered by nonverblaster” enough for the license, or whatelse do i have to do?
and the link inside the player still leads to the “old” player. maybe you can update this….
markus

hi again.
thanks for the quick response. i sure will do.
still there is oneproblem i am facing.
i want to use the mediabox javascript
(http://iaian7.com/webcode/mediaboxAdvanced)
but it seems to have the flv-player by jeroen vijering hardcoded. i have changed the links, but i cannot seem to get the flashvars working. your player always plays the fallback-video (btw. is there a chance to hange that to some of my own? has to been donne in flash, but i dont know where?)
i have some samples on a page of mine.
seems to not work at all any more…
http://www.wasdrehendiedennda.de/2008.10.06/seite.htm
the changed mediabox.js is this one
http://www.wasdrehendiedennda.de/2008.10.06/js/mediaboxAdv90_m.js

hope you can help out.

Trying to load the .fla file from current source package into Adobe Flash CS3 results in error message: Unexpected file format.
What can i do?

Thank you for that really fast response. I downloaded again but still can not load the .fla file. Still the same error message.
I am using the windows version. Could this be a reason?

Hi,
Thanks for the great player, however I too am having the same problem as Rickster when I try to open it in CS3 I get the Unexpected File Format error.

Regards
Jon

Rasso,
Wow, thats a fast response, many thanks.
I am going to add an ident to the player, like the TV companies do, I will send you the updated files once I get it working so that you may include it in your code if you wish.

Regards
Jon

Hi Rasso,
I have got the “ident” function added. You can view it here at the top right :)

http://jonburrows.co.uk/entry/FLV-Video-Player/

The ident is the jonburrows.co.uk png overlay but it will basically allow any image and you can set the opacity. I have extended the parameters that you can pass through the extra functionality

I will zip and send you the source via email so that you can take a look and see if you would like to add it into the main branch.

Regards
Jon

Nice job, how can i add play list?

hi.
now finally i have some time to look back here.
and so many new things.
one think though. i like to keep things whenever an update is available.
is there any chance that you rename the codefiles (maybe just add a folder with the date…) so someone like me could keep the older versions.
markus

ah and one more thing.
i have winXP and use the firefox 3.0.4
i sometimes (aftre playing some flv-movies)the problem that when switching to fullscreen the playback stops.
when i restart the browser it works again.
anyone else? anyone suggestions?
markus

Really cool!!
I have the same problem, wenn switch to fullscreen the playback stops.
And one question … how can I change the backgoundcolor of the player?

Thanks,
Stefan

hi!

nice Tool! in my version the teaser-Image don´t work.

player.addVariable(“teaserURL”, “images/rosen.jpg”);

where is the problem?

thanks.

// other variables
player.addVariable(“autoplay”, “false”);
player.addVariable(“teaserURL”, “http://www.th-bastelbude.de/video/images/raffer.jpg”);
player.addVariable(“allowSmoothing”, “true”);
//

display nothing, sorry.

here the Link:

http://www.th-bastelbude.de/video/example.html

the .jpg was saved for web by 70% JPG (PS), the same size as the movie.

A little question:
Will the functions for styling your playing from the old version ever included, yet?

Sorry for my bad English hope you understand my question

Thanks,
GGrag

First of all that’s a perfect player with perfect minimal design. Congratulations.

Requesting further options for a free
tool like that may not be appropriate, I must apologize for that.
But 2 more options would do it massive, I think.

1. -if possible- a playlist feature with a switching function (or maybe simply the teaser pictures can be switched by an adjustable time or by simple arrows on the player(or both).
2. a feature that can add text, again with adjustable time.

Thanks for sharing your work,
Tarkan

I love this player very much ,but I don’t konw how can I use it in my wordpress ,can you help me ?

Thank you admin !

DO you have an instructions with more detail which help me to use the player as a rooker ,wheather do it follow the example.html ?

If your player has made a plugin for wordpress ,I’m sure that will be very popular !

I just found this player….. den mag ich sehr!

I would love to see this feature:
http://www.pixelfumes.blogspot.com/2007/03/reflection-class-v3-with-source.html

And maybe an “autosize” and “aspect ratio” for different sized videos.

Hi! First of all thanks for making this simple,elegant and functional flv player.
i just would like to know how to embed it. what code ill be inserting to my html page.Thanks much!

Hey,

how can I insert this player in my SWF website?
Would be cool if you could help me!

Every flv player that i tested till now didnt work really well in my SWF…Fullscreen didnt work!

greez!

Hi,

i’m working on a project where i use this player in combination with mediaboxAdvanced and .m4v iPod videos and i have to say..
this is really a great player.. minimalist and it just works ;)

and there’s one feature i’d really like to use in this project:
the option of having a logo displayed when the player is embeded in an external website and it should be hardcoded so that the user can’t rip the flashvar to remove the logo (like it’s on YouTube & co)

my problem is, i’ve no clue about Flash programming and i’ve no idea how to do this..
maybe you’ve got some tips for me how i can do this or where i can find some infos about how to fix an image at a position (even if changing to fullscreen) and how to check for domain namen, etc..

I am, too, using this real great player in combination with mediaboxAdvanced-js and it works really fine in most test-cases. But some report troubles regarding the stream function: The player appears (without loading.gif, just black screen) and starts playing the movie only, when the whole file is downloaded. it happens on IE 6 and IE 7, Windows XP Pro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Sonja

dear rasso,
thanks for the quick reply! but it works on OS /browsers. and same happens when playing the example-movie “ASCENSION” on this site.
hovewer, I will report…
cheers, sonja

Just a quick note on something that I was investigating for awhile — the div id=”videoPlayer” is required for the player to function! I probably could have figured this out by looking into the source code, but I’m not super-technical.

Thanks for the awesome, simple player!

I must say that great work with this player. It looks good, it performs great, xhtml valid etc.

One feature request would that there is way to stop the flash video with javascript call. So I guess it means using flash.external.ExternalInterface or something. This would be good if you have several videos, you open new one and you could stop others that are playing. And why not have some other controls also externalized.

Hi,

this is a great player, easy to use, stylish, and it does everything I expect from a player. Thanks for sharing your work!

I used the player for integrating my demoreel into my website (I’m a landscape architect and do a lot of ArchViz).

URL: http://thoma.la/viz-reel.php

cheers, Matthias

Love the player, but I’m having issues with case sensitivity… The player seems to strip the case out of my url (so even if I call “../UrgencyV1.mp4″, it results in “../urgencyv1.mp4″ not found). I can (and have) switch to all lower case for my file names, but I like the ease in reading with caps… is this an easy fix?

Yes, but now it has a white text box over the videos with parameters listed… http://visicormedia.com/clients/gotell/

perfection! Thanks for your quick reply! It works great now.

Dear Rasso,
thank you for this well-designed Player! Really great work! :-)

There is just one little thing I miss: is there a possibility to change the background-color of the Control. (I like to use e.g. transparent white instead of the transparent black.)

Sunny Greetings,
Lea

Dear Rasso,

this might be paradise! Anything i want, and – after all – immediately! :-)

You are that fast and that perfect! *wow,wow,wow* Thanks a lot! …works really fine for all my needs!

Great!

Danke-Grüßchen vom Bodensee,
Lea

ha epic fail, if you rightclick the player for the context menu and the controls fade out the mouse curser fades out too for the entire Operating System and locks up the browser!! not cool!!

Hallo,

bei mir kommt die Meldung, dass er das Video nicht findet. Der Pfad stimmt aber zu 100%. Hab auch schon die URL von oben mit den Wolken probiert. Selber Fehler…

Woran kann es liegen?

Grüße Pascal

Wow.. das ging schnell :)

Die Demos funktionieren. Sitz jetzt schon Stunden dran. Ich finde den Fehler einfach nicht. Könntest du bitte mal drüber schauen?

http://www.diegipfelstürmer.de/video/start.html

http://www.diegipfelstürmer.de/video/start.flv

Als Dank kommt dann natürlich auch dein Link drauf :)

Grüße Pascal

Oh thank you very much.

it works…

but now.. the movie is smaler then the videobox??

its this also an problem of the changes?

thanks! greets pascal

Running Windows XP SP3, Firefox 3.0.9, the latest NonverPlayer, wen the context menu is open the mouse fades out for the whole browser window, and partially freezes the browser making it hard to close the menu again, it usually unfreezes 10 – 20 seconds later.

Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, 4GB ram, more than capable system.

I have now the problem fixed with smaller Video.

Now i dont become the movie in the mediaboxadvanced.
how they work?

thank you!

another problem, when causly flicking around a video with the progress bar the volume will mute itself.

also ->params.menu = “false”;<- dosent stop the menu showing?

Hi,

ein superschlichtes Teil, da möchte ich sehr gerne was in die Kaffeekasse werfen!

Nur die angehängte .fla-Dateien (as2 und as3) haben einen Bug – jedenfalls geht die as2-Datei nicht auf und die as3 sieht beim veröffentlichen sehr seltsam aus MAC OS X).

Hi again,

… do you think, you could add the “indent image” feature Jon Burrows wrote about in a previous post?

http://jonburrows.co.uk/entry/FLV-Video-Player/

I sent him a few mails, but I never got an answer.

Would this work like a “real” watermark, so if somebody would try to download the movie, the “ident image” is in there? … probably not, I think …

Hi Nik,
I will download the updated version that Rasso has released and add in the “ident code” I will post back on this site and mine when completed, might take a couple of days.

I wasn’t ignoring your emails I didn’t see any coming through to me. I presume you used the email address on my website?

Regards Jon

Great player… I love it! I’m having an issue though that I can’t seem to resolve. If the playback catches up with the loading, a little spinning circle appears to designate it’s loading. It works, and the video continues to play after a short loading time, but the spinning green circle does not go away. It continues to spin on top of the video playback. I am using your player with mediabox as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I just noticed you added js controls. Extremely cool! I will test those and let you know. One thing I could think flash -> js would be when video/sound is finished (at the end of file) flash sends some kind of notification for js. js could queue up next video then ;)

@ Jon

… yes, I used that email address – thank’s for making this, I would love to have that “ident Image” feature.

@Rasso

… ich muss auf Deutsch schreiben….
Also zum “Buffer” hätte ich da eine Frage, und zwar ist mir aufgefallen, wenn ein größerer Film abgespielt wird und nach dem Starten des Filmes das “Buffern” einsetzt und die “Lade” Animation erscheint – verschwindet sie aber nicht mehr, obwohl der Film ruckelfrei/ fließend läuft.

Was könnte das sein? Der Buffer ist auf “6″ eingestellt

Rasso …Thank you very much!

I love this player just because the optic…… I’ll will never mess it up. It is just in case somebody need a little “watermark”….. to “protect” the videos. I know it is not a “real” protection from downloading and using the videos…

Hi there,

Thanks for building the player, I’m using it in conjunction with mediaboxAdvanced by http://iaian7.com/webcode/mediaboxAdvanced

I just have a question I hope you can clarify, I’m trying to change the control colours to play mp4 files but I’m having trouble and no success at changing the following:

flashvars.controlColor = “0x99ff33″;

Can this only be applied to flv’s only?

Adeline

…. this is great and fast work – thank you Rasso.

Didn’t read Dan also wrote this with the “spinning wheel”

Rasso,… at golem.de I saw the “original” player has features like “HD” , “embed Code” and “URL” link. Do you intend to implement it here too?

ok,…. the embed stuff for sure, but what about the “HD” quality switch?
What would be the difference in displaying a “HD” movie with the “quality switch” and without – the standard way like it is now?

ok,.. no problem

Do you have plans for adding a playlist flashvar? Either displaying under the viewport or to the right side would be very, very cool.

thanx! cool player !
minimal like it should be!

Thank you for given this great article!!!

Why my occupancy rate goes up to 65% when i embed this player on my website?? Even watching your blogsite here raises my rate to 60% on firefox and IE too. Any idea why? thankx

Hi, i have a dual core high end mashine, and the problem is, that no video was played, only mp3.

i think this is not the reason (hardware acceleration)

compared to http://www.video-flash.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/flvplayer/container.html, where my rate is very low as well as other websites, i’m wondering why at your website my rate is going up to hyperspace ;) – also on golem.de the video is running good, no rasing rate, everything is fine. maybe older version of your playder ? dou you have a link for your older version ?

regards Thomas

Okay ;) thanks anymay

Hi there!
The example video (in the source zip file) works fine (it’s video uses avc1 as codec with framerate 25). When using my own .mov-file, there’s no video just sound (this video uses mp4v as codec with framerate 15).
I’m using Ubuntu 64bit, Firefox3 and have no problems to see the video with other movie players on my system.
Is NonverBlaster:hover limited to special codecs? Or do you have any other idea to get my .mov playing correctly?

Hi Guys, very cool player..

I have found what I think is a small bug, with the latest version , If you dont specify a teaser image, the video stalls when it gets to the end, and you end up with the last frame with the buffer wheel rotating, and non of the controls work.

I think its trying to call showTeaser after the video has completed, without checking if the teaser url has been set. In that case it would be fine for it to show a black (or what ever the background) colour is.

I’m currently still developing a module for joomla using the flowplayer but like your player because it is in spirit of what I’m doing which is offering something for free. Many players for Joomla are all pay for modules and I truly believe that offering a pay for module for a free CMS is in violation of its very principle.

I’m wondering if you’d mind if I rewrite to include your player instead.

Thank you!
John

RE my problem with the video going into buffering at the end of autoplay, you can simulate the same problem with the sample file

If you edit the file “example-video.html” in the distribution “examples” folder
you can see the problem. Just change the “autoplay” parameter from false to true, and you can see the effect i’m seeing when the video gets to the end.

Now if I can figure out how to make a playlist for this… LOL Anyone done it?

Hi Rasso,

… I was thinking of if it would be possible to have the player to “detect” the width and height of the video and parse it to the embed code, or pass the dimension via javascript, or something like that?

Hi,

I like your player and wants to use it in a current project, but i have the problem too that if i open a page where the player is embed the Firefox-prozess gets a permanent cpu-rate of 25% and the memory is increasing. with ie its 0%. I used already your last version. is there any solution?

Hallo,

der Player ist einfach super, nur leider hab ich ein kleines Problem, das die Movies zu klein dargestellt werden. Ich gebe den Player in 320×240 wieder. Aber die Filme werden mir in 120×85 oder so angezeigt, also nicht mal 1/4 wird genutzt, obwohl das Quellmovie größer ist als die 320×240 Ausgabe. Wenn ich dann auf Fullsize gehe und zurück wird auf einmal die ganze fläche von 320×240 genutzt.

Danke schon mal…

Hi,

nice player. Still got two problems, though. Firstly, Firefox freezes after some time when I embed the player (like others have reported before). This makes it unusable atm, but I’ll keep looking for updates.

Secondy, I tried embedding an MP3 and it starts to play, but the controls do not show up until I make the flash at least 100px high. The example inside the .zip works fine with just 17px height. Any ideas?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to change the mediaURL using the player’s javascript communication. I know that I could dynamically change the video using pure javascript but I was hoping to avoid flicker that this method produces.
Thanks for such a great flash player!

Marlene Affeld…

…

great, stylish player!
thank you so much! it´s awesome.

Hi Admin,
Thanks for a great player. You’re busy but I thought I’d send this for your future reference.

As per some previous comments …
Right clicking the player for options in Firefox3.0.11 (on XP Pro) causes the browser to hang and requires me to close the browser from the Task Manager. This does not happen in Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702.

Moin,

ich finde den Player wunderbar und würde ihn gern in eine Flash-Umgebung einbinden. Nach dem Laden des Players in einen MovieClip zerfällt der Player leider in seine Einzelteile. Ich denke, es handelt sich da eher um ein generelles Flash-Vorkommnis, aber ich versuche die Problemlösung auch mal an dieser Stelle.

Herzliche Grüße
Robert

Danke für die schnelle Antwort!
Mal gucken, ob ich mich an die Main.as mache oder einen anderen Player nehme…

Hi,

zuerstmal: super Player… :)

Jetzt zu meiner Frage:

Kann man den Player auch ohne JavaScript irgendwie einbinden oder geht es nur mithilfe des SWFObjects?

Beste Grüße
Frank

na ja, ich lege mehr wert drauf, dass es so gut wie möglich läuft :)

Wie funktioniert das dann? Habs leider bisher nicht hinbekommen…

Servus,

ich habe noch eine Frage, diesmal zur Lizenz/Namensnennung. In welcher Form “muss” diese erfolgen? Wäre es in Ordnung, das einmal zentral zu tun oder muss sollte es jedes Mal am Player stehen? Es ist ein kommerzielles Projekt.

Herzliche Grüße
Robert

I made one that work with URL.
Need to be redesigned a bit…
http://dustofus.net/lotus

Cool idea, nadous!

I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one.:)

Hi,
I downloaded the package, but I’m not be able to use the JavaScript communication.
The browser said: sendToActionScript is not a function.

Trying to load the .fla file from current source package into Adobe Flash CS3 results in error message: Unexpected file format.

hi,

I was hoping to implement this is one of the project I am working on. My issue is the player does not work when the video url is a Servlet which streams the mp4 file from a remote site. I cannot access the remote mp4 file directly because of network issue and the only way for me to get to it is to stream it with a servlet. Do you know if your media player has built in support for this: on how to play media files that are streamed in runtime. Let me know. Your help is appreciated. BTW, awesome player.

-rohan

I’m having the same problem as Horacio. I’ve downloaded the package and it won’t open in Flash CS3 – unexpected error.

The params.scale parameter, isn’t valid for this player? I want to play videos at smaller size of the original (forcing downsize), and want them to cover the whole player area. If I set params.scale = “noborder” (or anything else as a matter of fact) it makes not effect.

Hi, this is the best player! not like others with their ugly skins and taste, thanks for this tool I appreciate it very much. Im using it with mediabox and its very easy ti insert in the page, I have to get rid of the volume button/slider and I tryed to recompile it in flash using the source .fla you placed in the folder but when I erase the volume movie clips and make longer the time slider it just break apart when I publish it, Im not a flash or web expert, in fact Im not very familiar with this web interactive stuff, I ll love to also change the color of the controls from white to lite grey, im just lost with that, I saw the code in one of the html files for changing the color but im using it with mediabox and whne I insert the flashvars in the head of the code it doesnt work, maybe u have a quick explanation to this or tutorial, I really appreciate it very very much, thanks for this great player and the time u expend reading this. gustavo.. hello from mexico city

Hey Rasso
The player is unique, I love it. Thank you for your great work. I have one problem though. It seems that when I open my website with your player in it, the system graphics kind of stall (right click menu pops up really slowly, other processes slow down). Am I doing something wrong>. I used it in my WordPress blog. Have you experienced any such symptoms? Do you know how to fix them.
Regrads
Domingo

Hi Rasso,
I saw your example “inFlash” in the current download.
But after testing it I recognise it isn’t possible to use the fullscreen button nor is the controlbar hiding or showing on rollover/out.

Is this still under “developing” at the moment, or did I misunderstood how to use it?

…. no, please,… fullscreening the player alone would be great. Imagine you have a site with the Player embedded in the layout to show Movietrailer , a showreel or something like that, it would be great to be able to watch them in fullscreen … setting the whole site to fullscreen wouldn’t have any great effect.

:-)

… , yes, I know…. but sometimes the clients wants it… and using the built in FLV component isn’t that good. It would be nicer to have your player for things like that.

Hi,

I tried the new version of the player and it still freezes Firefox when playing MP3 Files while FLV works just fine now. It seems to be okay with very small MP3 files, but with longer files, it freezes after some seconds. Even playing your own example MP3 freezes my browser.

Another small bug I’ve found is that you can turn sound off via contextmenu, but you cannot turn it on again.

Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog. :) Cheers! Sandra. R.

I love your site. :) Love design!!! I just came across your blog and wanted to say that I

Ist das Performance Problem nun gelöst? Der Player ist genial, jedoch stürzt bei mir fast der Browser ab, wenn ich ihn nutze :(
(Oben beim Datum der Version steht noch ein altes, deshalb frage ich)

Firefox friert immernoch ein.

mfg
Michael

Firefox 3.5.2 on a fully patched XP SP3.

I open this site, start your audio example and wait for some seconds. Firefox starts using more than 40% of CPU time for playing the MP3 (This is on a dual core AMD 3800+). Playing a random youtube video for comparison only needs 10-20% CPU. Interrestingly, your player uses the 40% of CPU even when I pause it, so it is *not* playing…

As soon as I start the video example, CPU consumption goes up to exactly 50% (I think this is because Flash only uses one CPU) and firefox freezes. Music and video keep playing, but I can’t navigate away from the page, or close firefox. I have to kill the firefox process.

Another comparison with youtube videos shows that multiple youtube videos play fine on my system. The browser is still responsive.

hi rasso,

first your player is a really nice job. great design.
i tried to embed it in a little page for playing flv’s but unfortunately it has some problems in scaling.
when i start the video it is shown in its original size although the player itself has a smaller size just like i configured and so the video is cut because it isn’t scaled to the player size.

after changing in fullscreen and back again to normal the video is scaled correctly.strange…

so what is my mistake?
is there any additional configuration i have overlooked?

run with ie8 and firefox 3.0.10

cheers
flo

@flo,

I’m having exactly the same problem! Have you found a fix??

Also, it doesn’t matter what size I have the player set to, when in the normal window the video is always scaled up, and always cut off. Until I go fullscreen, tick the scaling box, and go back to window… then its perfect.

Appreciate ALL your hard work.. once the scaling issue is figured out that’ll be GREAT!!

Thanks!!

Thanks Rasso! Sorry to hear about your computer issues :( Love the player, can’t wait to use it on my site.

Hello,

I got the same scaling issues with flv files (witch is quite frustrating)
The videos always starts scaled up and croped then take back their true scale after fullscreen ON/OFF

As soon as this is fixed, I’ll move all my videos to this neat player.

thanks again for the hard work.

This is a great media player.

As others have pointed at, the one fatal flaw is that the video is not scaled to the player if the player itself is not the native size of the video. This is a big problem.

Once that is fixed, this really would be a fantastic player.

Keep up the good work! Please let us know when you fix this issues!

Good luck!

Hi,

Well I’ve uploaded a test page for you to see what’s going on.

http://www.meconopsis.fr/Pages/test.html
http://www.meconopsis.fr/js/js-css_files.zip <-here are the mediaboxAdv-1.1.6.js and mediaboxAdvBlack.css files

thanks for looking on this issue :)

regards

You rock big time man :)
Works a treat…… ultimate player now :}=)

Thanks a lot!

Works like a charm. Thank you!

Keep up the excellent work!

Greatest player I’ve ever seen! I looked for something like this for a while now …

Kleiner Hinweis: Auf meinem Mac Leo in FF, Opera und Safari (je aktuellste Version) funktioniert in den Beispielen keine JS-Interaktion.

Is there any problem with distributing this script with a CMS? I want to file a feature request to include this player into the TYPOlight CMS (typolight.org) as a default player … let me know what you think about that!

Keep up the amazing work!

Yes, the bug is fixed! Thank you so much!

Rasso,
with the newest version sometimes I get an error/alert on Safari Mac:

“Flash Player (Internet-Plug-In für Safari) wurde unerwartet beendet”

Hi Rasso,

I just wanted to reassure me :). I’ve submitted the feature request (http://dev.typolight.org/issues/show/1054). Maybe Leo (the developer of TYPOlight) will contact you again if he has still some licensing questions, and he considers including your player.

Thank you very much for your work, keep it up!

So long,
FloB

Rasso,

… I couldn’t really reproduce the error/alert when it is online. I only got this error/alert if testing locally.

I have to keep an eye on it and report to you.

Do anybody else also have this “mouse flickering” on hover in the new version.
I don’t have it in the earlier versions of NonverBlaster?
On Safari 4.0.3 Mac OSX
In Firefox everything is ok.

… another question:
Would it be possible to have the player “crop” the video if the video has different dimensions than the player settings are?

you’re right, no flickering here and also not in your examples.

I think I know the problem.
I have a setup of two players laying on top of each other (z-index) and I shuffle them with jQuery.

I think the mouse don’t know which one of the player is the “hover area”.
I read something about “mouse children enabled” in flash, so I think – for this particular case – the player script need to “block” all “active” areas laying under the player.

In case of using this player in a flashmovie, you would have the same problem if you maybe make the player draggable or so and covering a button ….

I’m not really shure if I’m right – maybe you could test it somehow.

——-

Thank you for including the “crop” feature
Maybe it is also possible to have “fit” – if that would be a good idea?

Thank you for this nice player.

Just wanted to hear if there is some update on this – “flickering” and the “crop” feature ?

Thank’s

Thank you Rasso for the crop feature – I will see if I can get rid of the flickering somehow.
Maybe you can keep it in mind if you will make some bigger update.

Oh,…. just tested the “crop” feature… I love it – this is great!!!
Exactly a thing I needed.

Toller Player, das einzige was mich stört sind die zu kleinen Bedienelemente…

Rasso, I have a genera question about the paths of video and teaser image.
lets say I have this structure:

Directory
- NonverBlaster.swf
- mySitesFolder
– mySite.html
- TrailerFolder
– myTrailer.mov
– myTeaser.jpg

Then I need to set:

mediaURL=trailer/myTrailer.mov
teaserURL=../trailer/myTeaser.jpg

I don’t understand why the path to the Video is pointing from the “NonverBlaster.swf” and the TeaserImage is pointing from the Site, in which the SWF is included.

Yes, but it was hard to find out :)
I impemented it into Joomla with Highslide – and it was strange to see the paths needed to be different.
So I made a test without Joomla, but with the index file in a different directory than the swf and had the same issue.

Maybe you can check it out anyway.
Maybe it will also be possible to put the “NonverBlaster.swf” in any directory that you want, not only in the same as the “index”.
I suppose it has something to do with that.

Nik I’m working on a Video module for joomla right now … LOL I have just a couple more ‘bugs’ to work out but all-in-all it’s working…

@ JOhn

would be interesting to see what you are working on.
let’s get in touch.
nik(at)pac7.de

I found this WordPress Plugin for a FlashAudio Player

http://wpaudioplayer.com/download

… maybe it is possible to change it to use the NonverBlaster

a) for the CPU Load / Killing Bug: At least the browser seems to have stopped with appruptely crashing. With the version before, I would open Firefox, call the URL of my project (which I will post here as soon as my client allows me to; its not officially online yet ;)), and after switching to another window or even just a different Firefox tab, said browser crashed badly. In IE, the CPU peaks were somewhat hight, but at least it didnt crash. The Firefox crash seems to be related with the implementation of the Flash plugin for Gecko-based browsers (I’ve tested and verified it with the latest Flash plugin both on Windows and Linux AND both with FF 3.0 AND the latest 3.5.4). So probably your Copy + Paste code did trigger this behaviour :D

b) About the WP plugin: Next week, I’ve got some time to spare, so let’s help the poor guy with his WP Plugin (Re)Quest by actually building one :D

c) Feature suggestion: If you’d install a method that sends a “click” to the outside of the plugin, ie. to the Javascript of the browser (if thats possible .. like filling in a state variable or so, eg. NonVerBlastPlayerClicked = 0 1/ ), that would be great. I’m not really fluent with Flash or Flex, else I would do this myself ;)

cu, w0lf.

I have also a suggestion:
If pause the player, fade out the sound and via versa.

Adding a “stop” (and go back to beginning) JavascriptCommunication.

Hi Rasso,

with the fading sound I thought:
fading out the sound and then pause – starting video… fading in sound.
Just a little fading, cause if you have a louder Music or something it just doesn’t sounds good if it get stopped abrupt. Maybe if you have a “fade_sound_on_pause: true or false and a time for that too.
If it is possible it would be nice.

stopAndGoBack – a complete reset including the teaser is what I thought.

Just one more question regarding the buffer.
I haven’t had the situation yet, but what happens if the video is really big and it need a time to buffer before starting…. is the teaser image showing up while buffering?

Hi,

the CPU bug seems to be gone. Thanks, that was the one big thing that prevented me from using the player :)

There are two small issues left, though. First, in MP3 mode, the “toggle sound” menu item is gone.

Second, if you use the “toggle sound” in video mode, the sound is switched off, but it is not switched on again. Would be great if this could be fixed, or, if non trivial, the menu item could at least be renamed to “sound off”.

Thank you Rasso for the “reset” function

The “clicker”-status doesnt work with me ..

I’ve tried it in different scenarios including different response methods (eg. Firebug’s console.log or the classic window.alert()), but no response :-/

cu, w0lf.

Hi Rasso,

I have a new “issue” – not really a bug or something, but the new feature “crop”, which is perfect, needs some “adjustment”.

If using the crop feature it crop/resize the movie to fit the desired size of the player… but also if using “fullscreen”.

Let’s say I have a movie in 16:9 ratio and a Monitor in 4:3 and then watching the movie in fullscreen mode it get cropped to 4:3.

Would it be possible to have it without “crop” if watching fullscreen or maybe even to have an option to set if true or false?

Perfect!
Thank you Rasso

I guess I must be missing something… if I’m using the SWF how do I get the crop feature to work? The problem is the same the movie is starting large… put it on fullscreen and take it back off to get it to show correctly…

I have a suggestion/idea… don’t know if it would be a good one….
I saw a FLV player on a Facebook site, where a video was posted and on “startup” in the post the video/teaser image was very small with a “play” icon on it and if clicking on that image the player changes the size to the “normal” size.

I don’t know if it would be possible to make that in the flash itself or if it could be done with some Javascript…jQuery – animate to the desired size on clicking on the player.

Could that “NonverBlasterClickHandler” be used for that?

@ Nik: Thats probably some Javascript magic, so I guess you could achieve this effect eg. combining the Facebox lightbox script with a trigger to the “play” button image, that would open up the player inside the Facebox window as soon as you clicked on it and let it start playing when the window has been fully opened (I’m pretty certain there’s some state value telling you if its done animating the opening effect, or maybe you can bind the play function to the “its done”-trigger call).

cu, w0lf.

Hi Wolf,

thank you for the hint with the “Facebox”.
I think also I will try that with some jQuery Javascript thing.

wow rasso very nice new version thanks a lot.

oha, me again.

Let’s say I have the player on “autostart” and the video is huge and it will take a while to load and buffering.
Would it be possible to show the “Teaser” Image or maybe a special “Buffer” Image while preloading/buffering?

Hi, Should there be a buffering wheel visible before the autoplay starts? Currently I get justa a black screen for a couple of seconds before the video starts. Some kind of indication of buffering in progress would be nice.

Thanks, Juhana

Thanks for that wunderful and easy to implement player.

I agree with Nik, asking for a “spinning wheel”, or something like that while buffering.

@Nik: resizing to normal size as on yoour request from November 3rd, 2009 – this should be easy to do with a little Spry. We use DreamWeaver here and it works great.

Hi

I’m trying to use your great player on a typo3 site, but I have a problem that it’s playing sound only in both Firefix and IE8. In IE there is no errors. In FF O get the error below. Do you have an idea that is wrong?

Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onMetaData. error=ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.

Hallo

Der Player ist echt super. Besten Dank.
Jedoch ist mir ein Fehler aufgefallen. Als mediaURL verwende ich eine externe Quelle also via http. Dies klappt auch wunderbar. Nun möchte ich aber gerne auch das Bild teaserURL von einer externen Quelle benutzen (http). Leider funktioniert dies nicht, es wird kein teaser Bild angezeigt (dir URL stimmt). Wenn ich ein lokales teaser Bild verwende, ebenfalls mit http, funktioniert es einwandfrei.

An was kann dies liegen?

@admin

Hi. It seems to be working on some computers, but it might be a problem on computers with the latest flash version installed. I have not been able to find the exact difference, but I spoke with another user that found theese explanations:

I have not tried with another file type yet, but i’ll do that.

@admin

I have already posted the problem in German. Here is the same error report in English.
My problem is, I will use a teaser picture form a external server. So I set as teaserURL an url to the picture with http. “http://external-server.com/xyz.jpg”. The problem is, the picture is not showing, only black screen. But when I use a local picture (also with the path http “http://localhost/….”), the picture will show correct. I’m sure, that the external url is correct.

Can you help me?

in beautiful use: http://vulturemusic.eu/

danke rasso!

@admin

Thanks for your replay. I have tested your hint and the video plays (but this works already before) but the teaser picture still not display. Have you an idea why?

Ok, my flashplayer is on the server server-a.com . The video data and the teaser picture is stored on the scened server server-b.com

Now is the problem, when i work without a crossdomain.xml (on server-b.com) the video will play but the the teaser picture not.

If I create a on the server-b.com a crossdomain.xml with the content:
….

….

the video also show but the teaser picture not.

I don’t understand why the video is showing and the picture not.

It’s possible to have a debug mode or logs? Does it work for you with a external teaser picture?

I hope this help you.

@admin

I have tested the same scenario with an other video flash player and it works.
This exclude a security problem. Is there a bug in your player?

@admin

Hi Admin,

as desired here are two sample pages.

http://cyber-punk.ch/video/flvplayer/demos/embed-using-swfobject.html
This is the link to the other player witch works.

http://cyber-punk.ch/video/NonverBlaster-hover/example-video-indentImage.html
And this is the link to the NonverBlaster-hover Player with doesn’t work. (same teaser picture and video source).

@admin

OK, I have reactivated the crossdomain.xml on the server http://www.kernspalter.ch (http://www.kernspalter.ch/crossdomain.xml)

Hey there, are there any issues with using multiple instances?

@admin

Hi admin,

you are the best! The player works now great.
Many many thanks.

Best regards Dominik

@admin

I have an other question, is there a possible way to create a fullscreen button like the play button?
If yes, then is my question how?

Dear Rasso,

This is not just a player, it’s a work of art!

Thank you!
Gregory

(PS -Any way to switch HD?..)

Yes, :) that was me :P

@Admin

Any chance to get a mediaURL like this

http://www.server.de/?rq_CType=66696C65&rq_CName=66696C657663&rq_TId=31303032

for the media delivery to work.

It seems that all parameters in the URL beginning with the first ampersand are skipped. Any chance to get such an URL to work ?? Maybe to pass same additional parameters which will be attached to the mediaURL ??

I tested “flashvars.mediaParameters” & “flashvars.varsToAppendToLinks” from swfobject but seems that they are not working with your player ?

Thanks
Danniel

yet another something to add: Completely hiding the player controls from the start on. Or do you know of a properly (non-commercial / Open Sourced) player which already does that, too?

thanks in advance,
cu, w0lf.

hm .. is it somehow possible using normal Javascript to change parameters, eg. the media url? I’d like to create kind of a invisible playing list for a new project, which would enable me (and my customer) to add new videos and remove old ones on the go.

After all, there’s already this computeEnd js call which would enable me to do so. The “playlist” would then be a simple call to a function which fires when computeEnd() is called, which then would inject the next video directly into the player.

Or is this only possible if you create yet another variable and/or function inside the player? In any way, it would be a great but simple done enrichment ;)

cu, w0lf.

flashvars.controlBackColor

for audio doesn’t work

flashvars.controlColor

but seems to work fine

thanks alot man

@Admin

Hallo admin, I asked some day’s ago, if there is a way to use the ampersand “&” in the mediaURL ?? But unfortunately I didn’t get an answer until now.

——————————
mediaURL for flash delivery
——————————
http://www.server.de/?rq_CType=66696C65&rq_CName=66696C657663&rq_TId=31303032

So I ask a second time for help ;-) if this is or will be possible in an update …

Thanks in advance
Daniel

Hallo Admin,

unfortunately I haven a site for public demonstration, but i will describe a little bit the background.

I’m using Intrexx, it’s a software for Intranet Portals with an application server. The user or in this case the flash player is sending a request to the webserver.
Such a requested link looks like this one:

http://portalserver.unitedplanet.de/schul-portal/default.asp?rq_ControlType=66696C65&rq_ControlName=66696C6576636F6E74726F6C3341413139344437&rq_AppId=31303236&rq_SourceAppId=31303236&rq_TargetId=31303030&rq_RecId=31&rq_DispositionType=696E6C696E65&rq_SId=8AC56D96B7F309F13224C434E4F607B402785EC0

(This demoportal is public reachable but blocked for changing data, so I can not upload a sample for trying)

The requested link will be forwarded to the application server, which analysis all requested parameters.

rq_ControlType=66696C65&
rq_ControlName=66696C6576636F6E74726F6C3341413139344437&
rq_AppId=31303236&
rq_TargetId=31303030&
rq_RecId=31&
rq_SId=8AC56D96B7F309F13224C434E4F607B402785EC0
rq_SourceAppId=31303236&
rq_DispositionType=696E6C696E65&

With this parameters the application server knows, that a file is requested, which file it is and that there is a user session (rights management).

The application server gives for the requested file a reference link back to the webservers, so that the webserver can deliver the file.

The problem is, that all the parameters for determine the file are not going through to the flash player and the requested url is incomplete, because after the first ampersand (&) the rest of the URL is skipped. You can try it by using one or more ampersand(s) in the filename of the video or in the folders to the file.

Hope this helps for understanding the problem.

Thanks in advanced
Daniel

@admin

Good hint, that was it … it work’s ;-)

Thanks a lot
Daniel

when I activate the plugin, my posts dissapear on the frontpage. only the titles show up. why is that?

im using the newest wordpress release

I don’t have a wordTube plugin installed…

even if nonverblaster:hover is the only activated plugin, the posts are blank.. only the title is showing up. I think it has something to do with my wordpress template but I cant figure it out..

HI,
First of all it is a good player. But,i have the following issue:
I am using a preview image and set the autoplay=false
at the first every thing is good , when .flv file i played come to end the preview image does not cover the player as when beggining, and i see the aportion from the video above and under the preview image.

Please tell me what can i do
Thanks

I don’t know if this has been asked before:

If there are multiple instances of the player on one site – Is it possible to have the active player to stop and reset all other players on the site.

Would be helpful if using as Audioplayer on a page with Audiosamples.

Btw. has anybody made a Joomla Plugin for this player?

NVB is up and running utilizing the new playlist / source switch feature at Cohen + West ;)

cu, w0lf.

Rasso, Thank you very much
it is working now.
but i should preserve the teaser image proportion to the used FLV video proportion or the near proportion.

Again, it is a good player.
So, Let me have fun with it now……

Thank you Rasso.

Mido

Thank you very much.
Switching between hd and sd is very cool.
And the Example Pages: Really useful and very good.
Keep up the good work.

Vielen Dank für den coolen Player. Wir setzen ihn ab sofort statt des JW Players ein.

Leider hab ich das Problem, dass der Player stoppt, sobald man ihn im Firefox in den Vollbildmodus schaltet. Ein Klick in den Player läßt ihn weiterlaufen. Im IE und Opera tritt das Problem nicht auf. Gibt es dafür eine Lösung?

Hi Rasso,

thanks for testing the player on our site.

The problems occurs in the following situation:

normal mode, press play button – video is playing
switch to fs – video stops
switch to normal mode – video is still not playing
switch to fs – video is playing again
switch to normal mode – video is still playing
switch to fs – video stops
and so on

I can reproduce this on two Windows PCs (Windows 7 32 and 64 bit) with Firefox 3.5.6 and Flash 10.0.32.18 but not on Linux or any other browser.

Hi,
Excellent player. I am working on a Joomla component that will use your player (most likely as the default player), in addition to support for the JW Media Player and the Neolao player.
I like your player the most, except for two issues:
1. Ability to playback image files (jpg, png, gif) so that it can be used as an image viewer, like the JW player. Given that it already supports preview (teaser) images, this should be simple?
2. Ability to change the position of the logo (indent image). The neolao player provides the best approach. Using x/y coordinates (including negative values), it allows positioning the logo anywhere on the player.
Cheers,
Fideri

Hi, great Player, really like the minimalism!

I’ve tried to use it with Mootools Swiff instead of SWFObject but couldn’t get the JS-Interface to work. Does anyone know whether this is a Mootools or Nonverblaster Issue?

I think it Happens because I send a pause Signal everytime the Sliding occours.

@ rasso.

finally no request, but all the best for your not-here-time.
Come back relaxed if it is a vacation.
don´t work to hard, if it is work.
cheers.

Hi Rasso,

your player really rocks! I like the minimalism.

Nor more to say right now.
Only: Welcome back.

Hi there. Thanks for sharing this player. Very cool!

I have a problem… I am using the player together with fancybox and call it as inline content. At start the div with the player is set to display:none. If i call the fancybox I can see the player with an teaser-image and a test video (the one with the flowers). In Safari / FF it works perfect – just in IE7 the problem exists.

Can someone help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Flo,

I had a simmilar problem, when I integrated the player. My solution was to use absolute Path’s since the Player defaults to the Flower Video when it can’t reach the selected mediaFile. Another Solution could be in the way you insert the player. maybe the flash-vars submitted are noct croos browser friendly?

MFG Jan

Hi Jan!

Gehe mal davon aus das Du deutsch sprichst ;-)

Eigentlich laufen die Videos auch im IE7 korrekt. Daher gehe ich von aus, das alle Variablen usw. stimmen. In den anderen Browsern laufen sie ja auch. Durch die Fancybox (ähnlich Lightbox) sollen die Videos ja erst erscheinen wenn ich ein entsprechendes anwähle. Soweit auch alles kein Problem.

Das Video steht ja in einem DIV mit entsprechender ID. Wenn ich dieses DIV allerdings für die Fancybox mit “display:none” style (damit nicht alle 20 videos gleichzeitig zu sehen sind) und sonst nichts weiter verändere, kommt beim Klickauf den Link eben dieses “platzhalter” bild + stream. Wenn ich das display:none wieder wegnehme, erscheinen alle 20 videos gleichzeitig auf der seite. und das korrekt!!! es muß also irgendwas mit dem “display:none” des DIVs mit der VideoID zu tun haben.

Hast Du eine Idee dazu?
Vielen Dank!
Flo

Hi, great player!

Just trying it out now for one of my clients, but cant seem to change the background color of the mp3-player to gray.

Is there any way to get around this now?

Regards
T

Disregard my prew post, it was easier then i though.

Actually, think I did it rather a brutal way, meaning not thru actionscript. Now the bgcolor loads rather slow.:(
If there is a way to do it true ationscripting, i would love to know:)

Regards
T

Excelente plugin gracias por el articulo

Lo andaba buscando gracias lo probare enmi web

I spotted this lovely use of your player http://www.artcom.de/kinetik/
And when playing the .MP4 videos there, my old
1.8GHz AMD Sempron (1 core, 500MHz FSB) laptop shows only 61% CPU usage in FF 3.6, XP SP3. This is better than YouTube, and almost as good as the Quicktime player.

@ Flo: Why do you create 20 different videos if you could load the movies dynamically instead?

If nothing works out, try using an iFrame, but normally, something like a playlist feature which I’ve suggested some comments earlier would totally do. I’ve implemented something like this (a hidden playlist) at the new Cohen + West site (intro). Just take a look at the source code, most of it should be obvious ;)

cu, w0lf.

Beautiful player! Thanks for sharing, Rasso.

Does anyone have an idea why “Full Screen” and “onClick=url” do not work here?
(I placed my code inside an -tag. No *.js inside the html-head, just using the NonverBlaster.swf in the html-body – problem?!)

Hello,

Is it possible to use the playlist and HD/SD Switch together? I have 4 videos with HD/SD and want to use a playlist.

Thank You

Is there a way or code to make a video stretch to a specific size during playback? For example, a 720×480 encoded video stretched to 853×480 widescreen via NonverBlaster?

Hey and thanks for this great player. I’m using it with lightbox on my site, and it works great. Thanks.

Hi, sorry to ask this maybe dump question.
But i searched for an action script compiler about an hour.

How do i compile Novablaster?

All i need is a swf player with a changed variable

var prefix = “http://www.mysite.com/videos/”

So that i am able to start the flv file linked as myvideo.vlf and not /videos/myvideo.flv

I only want to hide the download path of the flv file for normal users.
Thank you.

Wonderful player!!! great stuff!
i use your player for my web site here:

This player is wonderful! Is there a way to change the background color of the player or make the background transparent?

I’m trying to implement an audio playlist but can’t seem to get it to work. Is this even possible?

I went through the AS files and the switch command is used for videos, and audio is treated differently. So even using the javascript playlist demo doesn’t work.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey, thanks for this! Do you have a forum setup?

I can’t seem to get your subtitle demos working on my site http://billcreswell.com/code/noverplayer/ (they work locally).

Other players seem to be working (http://billcreswell.com/code/flowplayer, http://billcreswell.com/code/JWplayer)

Hello,

I am using this video player on my website, works on all browsers except for my homepage with Firefox on my Mac. It only plays the audio and doesn’t show video. It also doesn’t show the play/pause buttons. But what is weird, is that it works on one of my subpages on the same website with the same settings and same browser/pc. What could cause the video to not show on just one page? I also have multiple videos on my home page, could that be it? But it works just find on EVERY other browser/pc i tried.

Please help.

Thank you for such a great app!

Hello!

First of all, thanks so much! This is wonderful. I have been trying to get this running on my site, and I have a couple of specific questions. My apologies up front because I am somewhat of a novice at this stuff!

1. I’d like to have a few instances of the player, and have each one play a certain playlist of videos. I’ve been using the demos provided to construct what I’d like, and I find that I can get two players working easily, and can get one player working with a playlist, but I cannot get two players and a playlist working.

I’m sure this is something very easy to fix, but as I said I’m not very experienced at this and would appreciate any help! You can see what I’ve got working here: http://www.pollyhall.com/testing.html In this example, if I take away the second instance of the player (sound), the first instance and playlist (music) work fine. With both instances running, the playlist attached to the first instance stops working and clicking on the links to choose a new video spits out the error: “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method ‘sendToActionScript’ of undefined”

2. I’m getting a few errors when I debug. One is in the playlist script, and the error comes up in the demo as well. “Uncaught ReferenceError: adjustPlaylistButtons is not defined”

The other error I’m getting seems to be with swfobject.js, “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘style’ of null”

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Rasso,

I wonder, if it is possible to play a videofile in your player as a streaming over an rtpm: link, for example to “amazon cloud front”. I tried to do this, but without luck(the http: download link is working). Do you have any advise, how to manage this. In “JP Player” this is possible like in this example http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard?example=204.
I’m looking forward, for your help.

cheers emil.

Hi Rasso,

We are having problems with subtitles. We have downloaded the example and we couldn’t make them work. Here is our uploaded example exactly equally at yours:
http://www.sonicbyte.com/design/grosso/grosso_test/video-subtitles.html

Excellent player, thanks.
Enric

Thanks so long for the info, looking forward for an up date to this feature. By the way, your player is the best in web I know.

cheers Emil.

Awesome Player, thank you!

is possible to add a callJS(“computePlay”); in the playAudio() and playVideo() functions?
it can be used if there are multiple instances of the player in one site to stop and reset all other players on the site.

Thanks

I made the above changes
here is the result:
http://www.coffee-design.it/audio/
and here the NonverBlaster.as modified:
http://www.coffee-design.it/audio/NonverBlaster.as

they can be useful for someone …

Thanks again for the Player!

First of all: thanks for sharing this great player with us, it was exactly what I was looking for for my blog. I will definitely place a link to your player in my imrprint page.

Thanks to the provided source code, I was able to make something work that I needed and now want to share it, too.

I needed 7 independent players for a playlist of 7 songs that sould be played consequently. That is: when song 1 ends, song 2 starts, when that ends song 3 starts and so on.

First of all java communication should work for multiple players on one page, which was not the case with the Java construction in ghe »Java Communication« example. You can see in the example that is provided later. Basically it extends sendToNonverBlaster by one arguments that is the id of the player that is to be controlled.

The second thing was to make the comuteEnd function tell which one of the players reached the end. For that you just have to modify the ActionScript in line 442 to pass a parameter to the Java function it calls. I found ExternalInterface.call(“computeEnd”,parameter). Ultimately, instead of passing the id, I defined a new parameter playAtEnd that passes the information which player should be started next (insert into line 256 flashVars.playatend != undefined ? Glo.bal.playAtEnd = flashVars.playatend : 0; and change line 443 (now) to xternalInterface.call(“computeEnd”,Glo.bal.playAtEnd);)

The rest you can checkout here:

Everybody is free to use this solution.

Hallo, kann es sein, dass die Datei NonverBlaster.swf in dem zip nicht ganz funktioniert? So hat unter anderem die Flashvariable “onClick” keinerlei Auswirkung, es wird immer “togglePlay” ausgeführt. Wenn ich mit CS4 selbst den Source kompiliere, funktioniert alles einwandfrei. Die Datei ist dann auch 82kb statt 58kb groß.

Ansonsten vielen Dank für diesen Player! Mach weiter so ;)

Was hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue. After each video there is an image of the pink flower teaser image. I have searched everywhere I know to look for either a reference to this image or the image itself with no luck. How can I remove this image?

hi there,

awesome player – the best we’ve found out there.

we have an issue with your player in google chrome on a mac (every other platform/browser combo we suuport is fine) – every instance of your player is generating a request for the containing page, which is odd, and is killing performance. if there are five players on a page, then we are seeing six requests for the page thru our proxy – ond for the initial view, and one for each instance of the player on the page, and the player won’t display its controls until its page request completes (so i know that the two are definitely connected) i know flash on chrome on a mac is not the best, but is there something in the player code that might be related to this? i am no flash head, so would love to hear thoughts from anyone who has any clues on this ..

thanks very much for this high quality software.
dan

Dont work timecode always on 20:20 why?

Dont work on your sample video online and offline

Tnx alot, now work fine the time code :D

hi rasso,
still one of the best (simple) flash video players! we just managed to combine nonverblaster with shadowbox.js.as decribed here: http://www.devcomments.com/alternate-flash-player-nonverblaster-to206723.htm

Dear Rasso,

I am delighted to have your wonderful player representing our archive of early radio, television, film and recorded musical performances with subtitles!

One quick question about subtitles:

With HD switching enabled, I am seeing subtitles which load initially in either state (HD OFF or HD ON) do not appear to relaod after switching HD (either OFF or ON).

Is this caused by something in our configuration?

Thank you again!
Gregory

Dear Rasso,

Yes! That was it!

Thank you so much!

I’m sorry there are still restorations to complete and clearances to obtain before the site goes live. I will be sure to let you know!

This should be the player of choice for timeless design and simpliciy of use!

Thank you again!
Gregory

PS: Have you considered supporting the higher quality aac audio (m4a)
in addition to mp3 for playback with teaser images?

Fantastic player, really love it, thanks! :)

I’ve created a tutorial for implementing both the video player and mp3 player in a Serif Webplus website.

You can find it at:
http://addons.webplus.net/webplus-video-player-flv.html

Let me know if it’s okay and whether i’ve credited yourself enough :)

hi there ..

just wanted to update you with a solution to the multiple load on chrome and ie – if you don’t specify the teaserURL flashvar, the swf will use the default value of “”, which when it attempts to resolve as a url, will simply see the url of your current page … deeeerrrrrrr.

so, i gently suggest that you change the following in the codebase:

flashVars.teaserurl != undefined ? Glo.bal.teaserURL = flashVars.teaserurl : 0;

or this:

private function showTeaser(){
container.addChild(teaser);
teaser.init(this);
teaser.loadPic(Glo.bal.teaserURL);
…
}

so that it checks whether the string is empty or not … programmers checking for nulls etc etc .. ; )

very happy that we have this solved – if this helps anyone, that makes us even happier!

Hallo,

… leider kriege ich die Javascript-Interaktion nicht zum laufen. Auch wenn ich alle Files unverändert aus der ZIP-Datei oder der Website übernehme, funktioniert z.B. die per Javascript gesteuerte Filmauswahl des Playlist-Beispiels bei mir weder lokal noch auf meinem Server und in keinem der aktuellen Browser …

Die Fehlerkonsole von Firefox sagt dazu folgendes:

Fehler: adjustPlaylistButtons is not defined
Quelldatei: … /video-playlist.html
Zeile: 68

Fehler: getFlashMovie(flashMovie).sendToActionScript is not a function
Quelldatei: … nonverblaster.js
Zeile: 25

Man – Du bist ja super schnell mit dem antworten …

Leider ! Die Js-interaktiven Beispiele (“Javascript Communication” und “Javascript Playlist”) funktionieren merkwürdigerweise – ausschließlich – auf Deiner Demo-Seite !

Fehlermeldung der FF-Konsole wie gehabt:

Fehler: getFlashMovie(flashMovie).sendToActionScript is not a function
Quelldatei: … nonverblaster.js
Zeile: 21

Wäre jammerschade, wenn der beste aller FlV-Player an dieser Stelle schwächelt ….

Hoffe, der Fehler ist schnell ausgemacht !

Mit herzlichen Grüßen und vielen Dank für die wirklich tolle Arbeit.

Jan

Ergänzung:

… auch auf der Demo-Seite funktioniert das Zusammenspiel mit Javascript leider nicht immer … :-(

Hallo Rasso,

… lokal bleibt es wie gehabt + der oben genannten Fehlermeldung (getFlashMovie(flashMovie).sendToActionScript is not a function) – sitze jetzt an einem anderen PC mit anderen Versionen der Browser FF, Opera und IE (jeweils mit dem aktuellem Flash-Player) – das Ergebnis bleibt.

Die beiden Js-Demo-Beispiele auf Deiner Domain funktionieren ….

Muss gleich weg, bleibe aber an der Sache dran.

Mfg Jan

Hi i want to know how can i embed this player at my blog, i tried with the source-code but in the entries it doesn’t show nothing. i want a the right code to publish videos at blogspot

Thank you

Hi Rasso,

ich hab seit einigen Tagen -vllt unbemerkt schon etwas länger- dasselbe Problem wie Jan.
Ich hab’s auf einem Webserver, aber er bringt immer sendToActionScript is no a function..

Die Dokumentation bringt mich leider auch nicht weiter..

Danke schonmal,
Hannes

I just wanted to ask if these changes are included in the default player yet:

310 Alberto Says:
312 Murat Bezel Says:
329 Dan Says:

Also I wanted to suggest to make it possible to change/set custom graphic for the “play” button. Maybe like the “indentImage”.
Would also be nice if it will be possible to have two different images one for the “play” at very first start and a different one for “replaying” the movie, like “play again”.

ok, I see, your right…. but I wouldn’t add an ugly graphic ;-)
Could you then implement an optional “play again” button?

Hy, unfortunately I do not see the time code (shown in the video examples) when i use the audio examples. The corresponding parameter “showTimecode” stand anyhow on “true” …

Thanks Rasso for your quick answer.

But only the zip-example “audio with teaser-image” shows the timecode.

The zip-example “audio simle” does not do this unfortunately. On your demosite both audio-examples do not show a timecode during playing.

Sorry to report this – but your player is worth to keep it as perfect as it looks like.

Thanks for your help again. Ricardo

(Tested with Win XP SP3 with FF 3.6.3)

Hy Rasso,

… oh my god, what a trap !! But this only the half of the truth: the parameter “flashvars.showTimecode” is set to “false” in the zip-example “audio simple” … isn’t it ? ;-)

Nevertheless: i have a timecode + a stylish audio-player. Thanks again !

Hi Rasso,

first of all, its a supper cool player you did, and its cool that you share the source.
i am trying to use this player for some as3 project.
i get lots of errors and warnungs about untyped functions and variables. also trying to implement it in a pure as3 project requires rebuilding your fla file into a swc. its not like using the player out of the box. ok. just wanted to feed this back to you!
cheers r.

Hi Rasso,

Great player…and thanks for making it available for all to see and use.

Is there any way in the current version to do 2 things:

1) Make the background or screen white so that it seems like its not there.
2) Remove the “Play” icon that appears in the middle of the flash when it ends or starts.

I’m looking for a way to play an .FLV file once and then become invisible as possible.
Thanks
Bill

Keijo asked on March 22nd and requested a feature to stop the video with javascript call.

Curious on how i do that exactly.

Hi – first of all – nicest player ever!

Sadly I have some troubles with the flv videos. I made a flv video width the size 620px width and 349px height. But In the player the dimension of the video is about 310px width and 349px height – so the video doesnt look so good and there is a black background besides the video (the video is in the middle of th player). The is no diference if i change the dimension in the Javascript.
If have no idea why this is happening.

Thanks for help!
steri

Hi Rasso!
here ist the link: http://steri.at.dd12838.kasserver.com/video-simple_3.html
you have to skip forward – at the beginning of the video you can´t see the wrong dimension
thank you
steri

Hi Rasso!
yes you are right! i checked the file with http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/ FLV Meta Viewer:
it says width: 620 height: 620
so there is something wrong with the metadata in the file and i know now where the problem is.
THANK YOU very much!
steri

Hello,
I’m using your player, and it kick ass, but i realized yesterday that it’s not working on firefox 3.6.7 and above!
i tried it on ff3.6.3 it works and when i update it stoped working all i get is black screen, so i tried it on opera and IE and it works there!
any idea why???
it will really help!! thanks

any chance of a CS3 compatible source file? I see one was provided at some time, but no more?

I’m having the same problem as rob.
The player works fine in every browser except FF 3.6.8. It just produces a black box but the context menu is still working though.

On Mac FF 3.6.8. it seems to work just fine – at least for me..

I just have issues opening the NonverBlaster.fla in Flash CS3 – and I’d love to see an option to change the default play icon. Actually I’m about to use some javascript enabled play/pause buttons located outside the player (phantastic feature) so i would not really need the play icon foating in the center of the teaser image.. – ..so I’d basically be happy to have an option to turn it off completely..

But beside this ‘wishlist’ i must say this is a phantastic little app!! Thank you! Jut-jemacht..:] t…

hy rasso,
… any chance to run javascript playlist sample with mp3-audio-files too … ?

thanks in anvance / dan

oh no – too bad to hear that – bicycle..?
Thank you for the advise – I actually figured this ‘work around’ out myself last night..:] We use the js-controlls anyways (which is a beautiful alternative to built in controlls) and so the auto-start-on-next-page was just the next step to go.. This also makes the teaser image SE-friendly and opens the doors to tailored play icons. This is really a great alternative to all other players I’ve had my hands on – and for me the js-controlls combined with the auto-start-on-next-page is THE way to go. AND it even plays mov-H264 which again opens the doors to html5-compatibility! I am amazed!
Thank you very much for this tool/player/thing and all the best for you and your arm!
Greetz from PrnzlBerg to XBerg! t…

OMG – by night XBerg can be such a dangerous place..:]

thnx again! and all the best! t…

I found this blog once, then lost it. Took me forever to come back and find it. I thought I missed something here the last time I read half of it so just wanted to come back and finish it. Nice PLAYER by the way.

Great media player.

One thing I noticed… the player fails if an audio file has a uppercase extension (.MP3). I tracked it down to line 287 of NoverBlaster.as

It is only checking for .mp3 but it should be case inclusive. There are a bunch of ways to fix this…as I’m sure you know…one being (in line 287):

var t = Glo.bal.mediaURL.toLowerCase();

or (in line 288):
if(t.indexOf(“.mp3″) != -1 || t.indexOf(“.MP3″) != -1){

Either method fixed it for me. Hope this helps.

Mark

Hello Rasso,

I am very happy that your arm is getting better!!!

I wouldn’t try anymore “BREAK DANCING” if I were you. (lol)

Thanx for the FULLSCREEN “onClick” update.

Cheers!!

Lawrence

Rasso my man!!!

The update you did for the FULLSCREEN “onClick” update was right on time!! Thanx again.

Now I have another problem.

While I am localized (HD) nvb:hover plays flv, mp3, mov-H264 AND .mp4 (AVC & H264) files.

When I upload the files to my server, the MP4 files do not play. nvb:hover says that is can not find the directory/file (if I put the .mp4 file in the root of the directory and change the coding to reflect this nvb:hover still does not see the mp4 file – it sees the others, however).

But, when I point a JWPlayer or FLOWPLAYER script to the exact same directory, they play.

Now, I know that I can take an mp4 files and change them into a .mov files (by just changing the suffix) and both nvb:hover & JWplayer will play them.

My question is…..Why are my mp4 files playing locally from a stripped down folder that just contains the necessary files, i.e. js folder – media folder, etc. BUT when this array (directory) is uploaded, the mp4 files fail to play.

Lawrence

Hallo,
ich habe eine Freeway-Website, in der ich den Player einbetten will. Ist bei Freeway nicht dokumentiert. Kannst Du dazu einen Tipp geben? Freeway ermöglicht das Einbetten von eigenen Playern, aber wo müssen die Resourcen hin?

Für jeden Hinweis dankbar …

Hi,

Thank you for this wonderful player, I’ve build a module for Drupal.
I’m using your player on our personal Drupal website as well – though there it is manually added to all headers, even when not used. I don not recall why exactly but i think it was because of the combination with a lightbox. And it was just easier.

However I did write a module for Drupal that puts the nonverblaster code only where needed. I have no real PHP or any other signifigant skills when it comes to programming – but at some dark and forgotten night i made this module based on others (copy paste style)- and i’ve got it working on a friends site: www.emo-synth.com , there might be some flaws there, but it seems to be okay from my point of view.

I’ve put the module on our server, you can download it here:
www.jon-ibe.be/nonverbla/nonverblaster.tar.gz
Note that all the module does is add the code to the header. You still have to add the full code, so you have to switch from your WYSIWYG editor to plain text. The module itself is to be installed as a normal Drupal-module.

Greetings from Belgium,

Jon

First of all, i’m loving this player.

I wanted to ask, is it possible that the player would switch to a lower res in case that the user’s bandwidth is too low?

Hey there Rasso,

if i wanted to try to code it in by myself (don’t laugh:P), could you give me any hint? i already added one more javascript handler on escape press key inside the nonverblaster.as, but this seems to be more advanced task. do you have any experience with bandwidth measuring?

i know i probably want too much, just asking

ok :)

Anyone who knows Drupal rather well will probably think it’s self-explanatory. I’ve started to look into it on how to contribute this as a maintained module on drupal.org When that happens i’ll post the link here.

Greetings Jon

Hi!
i have some troubles with the javascript playlist!
i can´t switch the videos.
i did it exactly like here:
http://www.nonverbla.de/nonverblaster-hover/video-playlist.html

even if i copy this site with all the JS and videos localy it doesn´t work – and it also doesn´t work on a server:
http://steri.at.dd24314.kasserver.com/weitere_videos_waehlen.html

i really don´t whats wrong.

thanks for help

… the strange thing is, when i try localy the “video-playlist.html” file within in the demo folder,
it also doesn´t work to switch the video. has anybody the same problem – or just me? i don´t understand why it works here http://www.nonverbla.de/nonverblaster-hover/video-playlist.html but not in the local demo.
sorry i´m a bit confused what i´m doing wrong.

And once again – still nicest player ever!

How do i get the video to stop playing when another video is clicked?

Hi

Thank you for nonverblaster!! It’s great!

I’m using it on my website(Video menu) inside a shadowbox and it’s working great in Firefox. However, it doesn’t work in Internet explorer :( Do you happend to know if this is something related to IE? Is there a solution for that?

Thank you!!

Sergio

Hi Rasso!
My JS Playlist still doesn´t work – firebug (script console) says on this site http://steri.at.dd24314.kasserver.com/weitere_videos_waehlen.html :
“getFlashMovie(flashMovie).sendToActionScript is not a function”
what does that error mean? i think there is a problem with the “sendToActionScript” function – but i don´t know where to fix it. thanks for help.
greets steri

now it works – seems to be that i mixed up with an older version. i replaced the NonverBlaster.swf file with the newest – and now it works.

sorry me again – i know this question was asked two or three times already, but i didn’t find an answer:
is it possible to use the js playlist with mp3s?
when i use the demo “video-playlist” with mp3s instead of videos and press the video change link it always starts the first mp3 …
i found this function in the as:

public function playMedia(){
switch(media){
case “video”:
playVideo();
break;
case “audio”:
playAudio();
break;
}

is it possible to use it with js?
thanks steri

Hi,

I love this player. Works great. However I’m trying to get it to work on Facebook. It works great except in IE. If a video is started then quickly clicking off to another video:

“var player = document.createElement(‘fb:swf’);
player.setSWFSrc ” The audio of the previous FLV will continue to play.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

=-s-=

Hi Rasso!
thank you very much!!!!!
works great – even with teaser image!

This is a very good player, it just makes everything work much better:)

Hi Rasso,

is it possible to add “.mp4″ files to the player.
I think the codecs are:

avc1.42E01E
mp4a.40.2

I would like to build a Video page with HTML5 Video and a fallback to flash with your player and then a fallback to quicktime if flash isn’t available.

HTML5 and Quicktime is using “.mp4″ (besides the “.ogv” file for Firefox) too, so it would be nice to have only one Videofile for this.

well, I made some tests today and it seems .mp4 runs on the most.

html5
flash
quicktime

Firefox needs .ogv for html5….

anyway, I tested to run a .mp4 video with your player, but that didn’t work.
Do it need any special settings? Maybe it needs to add that suffix to the player.

I tried with Adobes FlashPlayback player and there it works fine with .mp4 files.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/video/articles/fmp_player.html

… any News on the “.mp4″ issue?

I have my “Testvideo” from here:
http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody

You can download “the big buck bunny” in the formats “.mp4″ “.ogv” and “.webm”

YES IT WORKS!

I suppose, I tried with an older version.

it would be really neat if the player were also saved in the older version of flash :(

Time to say “thank you” again – because of you added an audio playlist sample that i missed very much …

I found a little bug (maybe): using the audio-js-playlist-sample, IE8 doesn’t show / ignores the given background color defined in attributes.bgcolor …

(Not tested in other versions of IE up to now)

If the background color should be simply white, it is possible to add params.wmode = “transparent” – but there is no way to define the background color of the player in IE8 – the background will be always black.

Hope, you can fix it … i know you can fix it ;-)

Thanks Jan

Hi

I’m really enjoying setting up this player for my site.

My one problem is that the player doesn’t start playing until it has completely load which is about 50 secs for me. This is not the case with the teaser video here, I’ve crossed checked everything and I can’t solve them problem…

help would be much appreciated.

thanks

max

thanks tons Rasso

all working and looking great now. Max

Hi,
i tried the youtube example, but it only shows me the default video, even if i set a diffrent one, and the stop, play etc doesn’t work, the interface disapears after first play and the video just plays, also here on the example page. So is that a bug?

PS: Could you do the same with vimeo.
Instructions would be here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=220138&postcount=3

Thanks,
well if you got eg http://vimeo.com/15390240
than you would need to send a request to http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:15390240

so ID is 15390240

Thats an xml file. You need two informations out of it
request_signature and request_signature_expire

with all three of them you build than the link to the file

http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:15390240/38c7be0cecb92a0a3623c2769bccf73b/1221451200/?q=sd

http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:{id}/{request_signature}/{request_signature_expires}/?q=sd

PS: instead of sd you can also do hd

Well the http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:15390240/e10ba9a14f22005c4b029fc08c4eec44/1289575800/?q=sd is just a link which is then redirecting to av.vimeo….. and provides you with an mp4 file.

Can the play play mp4?

Because if you try it on your browser it works for me.
Also worked for my php and shell script with wget or curl.

I started already testing it.

The javascript change color of player, doesn’t work, or it just doesn’t work in your demo area.

Vimeo isn’t working atm.

Youtube is still, when the controls disappear once, they never come back^^

PS: If you want to fetch the youtube teaser image do this

http://img.youtube.com/vi/{videoid}/default.jpg

Instead of default can be also a number like 1,2 etc. Depends how many thumbs are available.

Hi,
im developing a mp3-jukebox with your player and it works great. But ive this fullscreen-button on the right side and its useless.

Can you give me an options to hide it?

Greets,
Psi

Another note: sometimes javascript alert me “sound close!” because your line 40 in TheAudio.as.

Perhaps you forgot it to remove?

Feature request:
I’d love some sort of javascript call that would return the current video timecode. This would allow me to display the timecode somewhere else on the screen or be able to call other events when a specified time occurs.

I love nonverblaster. Thank you for all you’ve done.

Matt

Exactly what I was looking for, this player is awesome thanks for sharing it.

really nice player you created there. =)

one question though .. is it really required that NonverBlaster.swf has to be in the same folder as the what_ever.html file?

(.. ’cause i just put all required *.swf and *.js files in one custom_folder, edited the paths inside the js-part of my what_ever.html and no media could be found anymore. putting just NonverBlaster.swf back to the what_ever.html and letting those other files stay in the custom_folder works fine though.)

not an issue at all .. just asking.

cheers,
-chris.

Hello!
I want find out how to create.
If set video to full screen – hide a mouse cursor.

Sorry for my bad English.

naaah, that’s not that bad at all. =)
thanks for the quick reply.

cheers,
chris.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for your great work.
I need a helping hand with two things.
First, why is the player connecting to vimeo.com (crossdomain.xml). I can’t find any line containing vimeo in my script…

Second, I need to know why resetAll from Javascript won’t reset in IE.
To be more specific:
I use computeStart() to resize the div (overflow: hidden) in which the player is located.
A click on a close-Button will resize the div to it’s normal size and stops the video (resetAll). This works fine for the first time.
But the second time the computeStart()-Function won’t be called anymore and so the div remains at its size.
FF will do the job more than once.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot
Jens

Hello Rasso:

I think I have come up with a workaround for displaying teaser images with mp4 and m4a audio files by using the flashvars.indentImageURL instead of the flashvars.teaserURL. This works with all the audio files I have so far tested with one caveat:

The image initially appears off-center or incorrectly scaled (too large), but after a change in screen size (ie to fullscreen and back again) appears to resume scaling properly. Is it possible for the indent image (optionally) to behave like the teaser image, or for the teaser image (optionally) to have the same
visibility properties as the indent image?

You might have the only player capable of overcoming this limitation with AAC audio, the iTunes standard and successor to MP3.

Many thanks
Gregory

PS: In response to a previous post, I also noticed an unwanted connection to vimeo running after a recent download of the player. Is there a connection being established by default?

Cheers

Hi Rasso,

thanks a lot for your quick response. This updates works better, though in IE7 I encountered a problem. After the movie finished I get an JS-error almost near the sendToNonverBlaster-Function. All other browsers (FF, Opera, IE8, Chrome, Safari) are doing fine.
Can I pm you the link to the testing-site, cos I don’t want to show the world… Send me mail if possible.

Jens

P.S. You shouldn’t work so late/early :-)
P.P.S vimeo-call is gone. Thank you.

This is the problem. IE7 doesn’t say much.
IE7 works almost fine. I can stop the player and restart it anytime the movie hasn’t finished. When the movie has finished and I close my div the player resets. When I start the player again the div won’t resize. After closing the div I get the js-error.

It says: “Das Objekt unterstützt diese Eigenschaft oder Methode nicht” Zeile 23 Zeichen 2.
In my .js (see: http://www.speedshare.org/download.php?id=DC940D0E11) it must be the part within sending info to flash.

Hope this helps.

Hi there, Brilliant Player!!!

We would like to use it! We would like to show ten ‘YouTube’ videos one after another, via the playlist function.

Is it possible to have it working with:

1. YouTube Playlist
2. The Nonverblaster playlist to support many youtube videos.

When trying to add you tube urls in the new array, there are errors and it says ‘error no video file found, http’

Many thanks :)

Hi Rasso,

sorry for bothering you again but I descovered a strange behaviour in IE8 (and 7) even on your demo site.
None of the players are working. Only the demo with javascript-communication will work after reseting the player. Does anything went wrong after the last update? I can’t remember testing your site with IE before.
Maybe this is the problem with an other issue. When going back in history in IE on the site where your player ist located, I have to reset the player manually. The inital call ist fine but the history.back-call fails. No play-button will show until I reset the player…

Have a nice day on these warm days…
Jens

get well… and thanks for your response

doesn’t the “IndentImageURL” works in combination with YouTube?
I can’t get it to show up.

Hi,

A very nice player indeed.

I regret that the functionality of changing the colors of the controls is gone. I used it and I liked it. Because it gives you more possibilities to get the controls more in line with the rest of the styles of your site. When over a button, the colors change. So, it is nice if the colors of the controls of the player can also change in the same way. Is it a great problem to get that functionality back? Thanks!

Geert

Hello Rasso:

Never expected such a quick response nor being able to incorporate this as a feature! Brilliant!

Testing now – will report

Many thanks
Cheers
Gregory

Sorry, perhaps I should have been more specific. What I mean is the change of the colors when you hover the controls. So, a different color for normal and mouse over. I had an old version of the player where the color of the playing bar and the buttons could be set different if you move the mouse over it. I could set this to white, while normally it was green or some other color. You understand what I mean?

I thougt this was the meaning of you saying: ‘I removed the functionality of changing the colors of the controls since nobody really used it with the old NonverBlaster (If you think I should re-include it, post an angry comment ;))’

Geert

I tried to integrate it in Joomla and I succeeded to implement the basic features into the plugin “JPlayer”. The site is http://www.puppentheater.co.at/ but videos for the public are not online yet. They’re coming soon!

Hi Rasso,

Yes, it was a while… But it only means your player lasts forever. ;-) And that’s because he is so stylish, pure and simple. I use him all the time and I never had a problem. It just happened I saw another site with your player and I discovered some things were changed. And sure, with the controlColor you can fit almost every design, although I loved the possibility to change the color of the loading bar and other elements when the cursor comes over it. Just like I change the colors of links or other elements on a site when the mouse hovers (mostly I change them into white).

I sure don’t want you to do all that work of including this feature again only for me. But if you would be bored and you should find the time to do it, I won’t say no… :-)) I think it is still a feature that enhances the player and give webdesigners more possibilities to fit within their designs. But I agree: you should use it whith care and don’t mix to many colors!

Thanks again for this wonderful player!

Great player – thanks – been looking for something like this for a while.

sometimes my whole system freezes with a whitescreen, when I switch the nonverblasterhover to fullscreen, I guess since update to flash 10.2. Then the system don’t react on any keyboard-input. I never had another case which makes my linux-system to hang completly.

hi rasso,

i’d like to report the same problems in IE8 which jens recently posted:

433. Jens Says:
February 8th, 2011

only the first time I enter my video page there is a play button. after that I have to reset the Player manually to start another video.
and yes, it’s the same problem on your demo page…

everything works fine in ff and safari on a mac but not in ie. do you have any conclusions?

Thanks!

hi rasso,
thanks for the fast response. i’ve tested it and it seems to work now… yeeehaaa!
the only thing is, as long as the teaser image is loading now, the play-button shows some fancy colors. and when the image has loaded, the color swiches to the chosen one.

thanks so much man! love your player! i’m using it for years right now.

Hello Rasso,

thank you for that slim and great player. I already fell in love with it at golem.de, and was happy to find an open source version of that player.

I have two feature requests:
1. Would it be possible to add compatibility for a streaming protocol (rtmp://…)?
2. At golem.de they already added advertisements in front of some (or all?) videos. Is is possible to add an advertisement-clip flash variable to the player where one can input another video- or audio-file that cannot be skipped and where the timer counts backwards while playing the ad?

Thanks for your reply in advance!

Hello Rasso,

Thank you for your fast answer. I can’t reproduce this problem everytime too. It happens somtimes when I toogle a golem.de-Video or other Noverblaster-Videos to fullscreen, shortly after starting the video. Until now it has happened in Opera and in Iceweasel (Firefox) on debian-linux. On Windows oder other linux-distributions I have not tested it yet. How I allready written it firstly happens seemly since the time when flashplayer 10.2 was released. Earlier this never happened.

Many thanks
Greetings

hello

i have problems with ie6+7 :(

…..sendToNonverBlaster(‘play’) to use an own playbutton (+ other buttons) at the end of the video shows me the error: object doesnt support this property or method.

My additional Code in nonverblaster.js:
..
function playReset(){
sendToNonverBlaster(‘play’);
document.getElementById(‘id’).innerHTML =”;
return false;
}
function computeEnd(){
document.getElementById(‘id’).innerHTML = ‘<img…'

i can see the button, ant the clear of the element works..but the play doesnt work…whats wrong?

Thanks for your reply in advance
Oliver

Hi Rasso,

Flashvars.onClick don’t work for me : http://casanova-spectacle.com.
I would have toggleFullscreen when i click on the video… but instead, i have play/pause.

Any Idea, please ? Thanks.

Hi Rasso,

I’m using your player as a fallback for HTML5 video/audio. My script uses the scr of the video/audio tag as mediaURL for the flashplayer. Now I have the trouble with the mediaURL being relative to the nonverblaster.swf instead of relative to the HTML file, too. I realized that for audio files there is no problem. Is there any chance that this will be fixed for video?

Many thanks and greets,
Katja

In your examples the nonverblaster.swf is on same level as the HTML file. So the mediaURL is relative to the nonverblaster.swf and the calling HTML file at the same time. I assume that’s why it works in that case. If you move the nonverblaster.swf elsewhere (of course referencing the new location) it won’t work (won’t find video files).

Finally I had to use absolute pathes anyway so there’s no problem for me anymore at this point.

This video creates a flahing nightmare. what is going on?

May I say that your data has aided me considerably, hold up the excellent work.

Hi,

is there a possibility to get a wider range of playable video codecs? Nonverblaster is supporting .mov format but there are different kind of codes and nonverblaster does not work with all of them, or better to say, it works with less of them.
Is there a way to support more such codecs ?

Is it possible to play a .m3u stream or playlist in NonverBlaster? It’s a great player and we’d like to roll it out onto the radio stream as well.

Thanks for the best, cleanest flash audio player on the web!

Can the player handle flv cue points?
I need a player where i can load a cue point file an when a cue point is hit the player should call a javascript function with the cue point parameters.
Is something possible with your player? thx

It seems that the autoplay is not working.
I set it “true” in the configuration. drm removal

Hi admin,

It’s already too much that you provide this tool, but could you include into javascript communication the support to fade in and out the controls?

Sorry, my mistake, I thought that the controls bar was created with javascript and was in top of all layers, but it is part of the flash.

One more question. What kind of color code do I have to use in flashvars.playerBackColor which you mentioned to Jan above. I use #ffffff but I see black.

Totall awesome!!!This video player rocks, especially helpful for playing FLV clips from Youtube. i used to convert flv video to windows media player WMV which takes time and effort. Thanks for sharing this great tool.

First of all that’s a perfect player with perfect minimal design. Congratulations.
This is so nice. Thanks to you and Google i have found it. :)

Hello Rasso,

My apologies for taking so long to report back to you on the treatAsAudio flashvar.

1. With m4a files, I find the treatAsAudio flashvar set to true works perfectly when autoplay is set to false, but no teaser image appears when autoplay is set to true.

2. With mp3 files, regardless of treatAsAudio flashvar setting, I get no teaser image when autoplay is set to true.

3. Also, with m4a files, it seems the controls do not reset at end of play when treatAsAudio is set to true.

Many MANY thanks for this.

Cheers
Gregory

Great project! I would flattr it..if you had flattr :-)

Hello Rasso,

Good News:

An easy workaround for me to use treatAsAudio with autoplay is to set autoplay=false and use javascript to start the player with a setTimeout.

Only the control behaviours (remaining visible, and the progress bar resetting at end of play) are
issues I can’t seem to resolve with resetAll.

Many thanks
Gregory

Hi guys,

Your player is awesome, thank you!

But I found a bug: links to mp3 files on different site are not playing. Player just stock and thats it. Could you fix this? Thank you.

Hi Rasso,
erst einmal ein ganz großes Lob an deinen großartigen Player, ein wirkliches Unikat im Webspace! Chapeau!

Ich habe mir alle deine Beispiele angeschaut und versucht, diese in eine Website einfließen zu lassen, sie ist leider noch nicht online, deswegen kann ich das folgende Problem nur beschreiben:

Aufbau der Website:
Im root-Verzeichnis liegen die html Seiten sowie zwei weitere Ordner: ein Media-Ordner mit einer mp3-File und einer flv-File. Und ein JS-Ordner, der unter anderem deine nonverblaster.js, expressinstall.swf und swf.object enthält.

Problem:
Je nach Lage der nonverblaster.swf File funktioniert a) das Abspielen der flv-File nicht oder b) es ist keine Javascript-Kommunikation möglich.

Beispiel:
Liegt die nonverblaster.swf im Root-Ordner, können Audio und Video ganz normal gestartet werden, aber Javascript-Kommunikation funktioniert nicht. Firebug zeigt dann den Fehler an:
“getFlashMovie(flashMovie).sendToActionScript is not a function”

Liegt die nonverblaster.swf in dem JS- oder Media-Ordner, gehen Audiodatein und die JS-Kommunikation, das flv-Video aber nicht. Dies gleicht dem Fehler von Katja im Post #450 und #452. Wie du dort vorgeschlagen hast, hilft es, die Video-File mit dem absoluten Pfad anzusteuern.

Dies behebt aber nicht den Fehler der fehlenden Js-Kommunikation, wenn die nonverblaster.swf im Root liegt.

Wenn die Zeit es zulässt, wäre es schön, wenn du mir sagen könntest, ob dass nur bei mir so ist, oder ein generelles Problem.

Vielen Dank im Voraus
Mirko

Thank you Rasso for the quick response.
Another little thing I cam across is the fact, that it seems not possible use flashvars.onClick = “togglePlay” on audio files with a teaser image.
I was also wondering if it was intentional, that the function
“nonverBlasterClickHandler()” in your .js-file can only be triggered once. Any further triggering requires a reloading of the page/ resetting of the player.

Best regards and keep up the good work
Mirko

Good Morning,

I’m trying to combine the playlist feature with switching from sd to hd. Do you have any tip?

Best wishes,
Christian

Whith Vimeo not working the player? What is the problem: http://lumbrales.eu/ayto_lumbrales/video-flash.htm

Hi Rasso,
I just came across your player via a friend of mines website.
I wanted ask ask you a few questions as i need to update my player on my website asap.
At the moment i use a flash player that i kind of made myself from components.
I have to upload new videos regularly and at the moment i do this using an xml list pointing to the folder that holds the flvs.
This works great and all i need to do is copy the link, enter the new link details and upload a new xml file to me root folder on my server.
Would i be able to use the same kind of xml list procedure with you player?
If so could you shed a bit of light as to how i could do that.

Can you also play H264 Quicktimes in the player ?

Thank you very much and i look forward to hearing from you soon.
Cheers,
Steven

hi – its possible to change the spinning wheel to a own gif?

thanks

hmmm… o.k.

ich denke es würde bei vorhandenem Teaser-Bild schöner aussehen, wenn kein Wechsel zu “Schwarz” da wäre sondern das Hintergrundbild dunkler gemacht wird – ähnlich der modalen Dialoge

kk

Nice work. It solved my problem to display mp4 videos on my typo3 site (www.wobe-team.com).
I’m using it together with mediaboxAdvanced and blended another typo3 extension to use it with
image links in image/text content (wbt_medialight).

Best Regards,
Connor

i wanted to grey out the whole page but the nonverblaster player is still 100% visible.

any chance to do this? i am using the jquery fancybox.

I am using Nonverblaster:hover in my wordpress theme: http://bannerfish.biz/rustic-wordpress-theme-2-1-x/ .
I use it in conjunction with “Pretty Photo” lightbox to support self-hosted video and mp3′s. This works great because all the possibilities are covered. Pretty Photo plays Vimeo perfectly, while Nonverblaster:hover takes care of FLV’s, MP4′s, MP3′s etc. Thanks for giving this one away for free!

Hallo,
kann es sein das die Flashdatei (NonverBlaster.fla) im source Ordner nicht zu öffnen ist.
Bekomme eine Fehlermeldung “Dokument konnte nicht geöfnet werden” unter Flash CS4.

Hey,

großartige Arbeit. Eine Frage habe ich:
Besteht die Möglichkeit, die Playlist nach Abspielen des Videos einzublenden und jedes Mal eine neue Auswahl anzuzeigen?

Es geht darum, dass ich gern einen interaktiven Film im Netz präsentieren würde, und dafür bisher noch keine elegante Möglichkeit gefunden habe. Der Zuschauer soll nach jeder Szene eine neue Auswahl von zwei Szenen haben, und je nachdem wie er sich entscheidet, folgen eben andere Szenen.

Siehst Du da eine Möglichkeit mit diesem Player?

Lieben Gruß von Hannover nach Berlin,

Sascha

Hey,

bin in Javascript leider nicht fit. Gibt es dafür irgendein Beispiel?

Ich sehe nämlich noch immer das Problem, dass beispielsweise nach Video1 die Auswahl für 2 und 3 kommt. Dann bei Klick auf Video 3 aber noch immer 2 und 3 angezeigt werden, oder kann man das vom Video exakt abhängig machen?

Fände es grandios, wenn Du mir da weiterhelfen könntest. Dann schmeiße ich auch gleich PayPal an. :D

Lieben Gruß,

Sascha

Hi,

habe mir das aktuelle Paket (mit Beispielen) nochmal runtergeladen. Kann es sein, dass die Javascript-Callbacks onstart und oncomplete dort nicht funktionieren?

Habe in der entsprechenden ActionScript-Datei nur die Stelle gefunden, in der computeStart und computeEnd stattdessen aufgerufen werden, was es aber unmöglich macht, die Callbacks mehrerer Player auf einer Seite voneinander zu unterscheiden :/

Vielen Dank für diesen super Player! ;)

Viele Grüße

Hi,

nochmal zu den onstart/oncomplete Callbacks: Ich glaube, ich habe den Fehler gefunden. Es scheint daran zu liegen, dass man mindestens einen Parameter angeben muss.

Also anstatt flashVars.onstart = “myFunction”; muss man mindestens “flashVars.onstart = “myFunction,dummy”, angeben. Deshalb klappte es auch in dem Beispiel, aber nicht in meinem Testscript.

VG

Hi!

Is there a way to set the controls so they always show, not just on hover?

Thanks!
