FlowPlayer Test

Posted by: John Lewis on 04/03/2009

This is an example of using FlowPlayer to show a video from inside our Drupal server.

This requires the following files exist on the server:

  • /flash/flowplayer/flowplayer.js
  • /flash/flowplayer/flowplayer.swf
  • /flash/flowplayer/flowplayer.controls.swf

Also, the "Input format" on the page must be set to "PHP code".

DO NOT attach video files directly to your Drupal pages. Our server doesn't have the diskspace or the Internet bandwidth to support video files. Work with John Lewis or Gary Thompson to get your video files uploaded to our Amazon S3 area (media.unicon.net).
