FLV Media Player with PHP Streaming
Nov 27th
Modified to Work Smoothly with DreamHost
***UPDATE***
The example script has been updated due to the help from MattaProductions.com – a problem was noticed in that the swfobject.js script wasn’t being called in the example.html page!
***END UPDATE***
I’ve seen some people have trouble with the media player on DreamHost (mostly due to instructions). I’ve put together a simple, easy to install, and use flv player package. Hope you DreamHost people’s like it! I’ll be making changes to this post as I build out a nice set of instructions as to how to make it work, but for most people, this should be pretty easy.
Please note this is meant to be used on DreamHost because of the way I build the filepath to the videos. Also, you can NOT use remote video files, because the stream script will only attempt to use videos inside your filepath. Not to mention DreamHost gives a HUGE amount of space/bandwidth that can be used to play your videos from.
You can see an example of it working here. (The video is from a buddy of mine!) Then download the files!
Also if you have trouble with having your videos que up make sure you run it through the FLV MetaData Injector!
