Attention: You have found the home of the Simple Flash Video WordPress Plugin which is powered by the popular JW FLV Player and Thickbox. Look for a mid June Release date.
Welcome!
What separates this plugin from the rest?
- Supports ALL variables of the JW FLV Player
- Allows Videos to be played over the website content
- Variables are all set in a config.xml file but can be overdid in the post
- Easy Integration with Simple Stats
This plugin will allow you to easily replicate the look that this website has with floating video.
Look for a mid June Release date! If you would like to help test the plugin please leave a comment.
how are you trying to set them. vid_images variable with a link to a photo should work.
why does not allow me to set my images?
thanks

one last question – does the jpg file need to sized properly (i.e. like a thumbnail), or will the plugin make the thumbnail?
You need to size it as you see fit.
Thanks for this flash video plugin
Yes, on the main pages you would do shadowbox=off and auto play=true and they would play automatically without needing to be clicked. The rest would use the default method of being clicked.
I would like to place it on my blog but on some pages I want video to go right away (index page) and on all others only if they click on it.Is that possible? What should I do?
Thank you
needs to be sized properly.

ok no problem, I can do that – just figured it was automatic – silly me :-)
thanks for your help!! this is exactly what I have been looking for.
Read my last comment…

does not exist.
You need to have a .jpg in the same folder with the same name as you .mp4 or .flv
The latest version will allow you to set other images though. A new beta and then release candidate should be out soon!
The file is not there hence the Red X but the new version will handle this more gracefully.
yes – 1.5 it is
version 1.5? I just downloaded it this morning – it’s not the beta version though.

yes you could shorten it to:
[video filename=/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.mp4 /]
What version are you using?
ok – I got it to use just
[video filename=/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.mp4 /]
Now I have no box with the red X – and no thumbnail either – just the “Click to Watch” link.
This is exactly what I have been looking for – and it works great with the exception of one issue – on my site, I get the Click to Watch link under a box with a red X. If I click to watch, it pops up and plays the video no problem. I’m sure this is something stupid I have done or not done – any direction would be appreciated.
One other question – I am currently using
[video filename=http://cheree.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/100_2076.mp4 /]
can’t I shorten that to just call if from the server rather than through an http connect? (I’m gonna go play with this now.)
regards,
Mike
I will be setting up a travel related blog and this is the perfect way to present the videos
Thanks for this flash video plugin
These issues have now been resolved in plugin version 1.2 Please download it there :)
Seems the cause of the error is that I programmed in PHP5. Most hosts of course have PHP4. I will see what I can do in the next few days.
Thanks, I will try it and email you back with results
I have all ready emailed you with a version to try . I have not have any other emails or comments about errors and the plugin is functioning correctly for 3 blogs that I run on this server. So there may be an issue with share hosting or something that I am not aware of yet.
Thanks for your fast reply! So, I’m not the only one with this issue? Can you let me know when you will have a new version ( email me)?
Thanks again Josh
I am having some issues with the wordpress repository so I am looking at putting up a new version which will hopefully resolve your issue.
