Thread: Changing the video player on classipress

Changing the video player on classipress

I have a plugin/mod installed from melbweb.com for uploading a video into the

ad. Currently it uses a basic video player and uses the following code to

launch the player in single-ad_listing.php

$video_url = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'cp_video', false) ;
if($video_url[0])
{
echo '<strong>Video</strong>';
$video_player = get_bloginfo

('stylesheet_directory') .'/player/video-player.swf';
$thumb_path = substr($video_url[0], 0, -4)

. '.jpg';
?>
<p>
<object

id="player" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player"

width="500" height="315">


<param name="movie" value="<?php echo $video_player ?>" />


<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />


<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />


<param name="flashvars" value="file=<?php echo $video_url[0] ?>" />


<embed


type="application/x-shockwave-flash"


id="player2"


name="player2"


src="<?php echo $video_player ?>"


width="500"


height="315"


allowscriptaccess="always"


allowfullscreen="true"


flashvars="file=<?php echo $video_url[0] ?>&image=<?php echo

$thumb_path ?>"


/>


</object>

I want to use the free hdwebplayer for wordpress from here:

http://www.hdwebplayer.com/?q=wordpress-features

So I installed this player in wordpress. I also uploaded the whole hdwebplayer

folder into my child theme and referred to it in the above code by changing

this line:

/player/video-player.swf

into this line:

/webplayer/player.swf

as this is the location of the new player.

The ad loads the video player but doesn't load the videos see example here:

http://horsemarket.ie/ads/test-video-3/

Does anyone know why that might be?

I am really not a coder and have hardly any skills in this area so I am hacking

my way through it.

Any help much appreciated - email me at stephen@cubeb.com
