Need some technical advice for my site

7 replies
I brought a site a few months ago and it has the prismo tube theme on it.

Thing is I cannot get the main screen video to work.
Has anyone else had the same problem or can see whats wrong? What I need to change to make it work?

Here is a link to the site

  • Are you getting nothing in that spot, are you seeing the spinning thing that says it's continually loading? If you're getting nothing (which I doubt because I am seeing the player), try chmod'ing the theme's cache folder to 777. If you're talking about the spinning thing, most people are seeing the same thing since the player got updated. Divx does the same for me now, too, which is why I switched to a flash player, too. This has been going on for a while now for just about everyone who updated.

    I am just getting the spinning loading icon. With all the rest of the videos on the site it goes to a Youtube player.
    How do I go about changing this? Will I need to play with the code?

    Here is the code I use with JW Player:

    <p style="text-align: center;">
    <!-- START OF THE PLAYER EMBEDDING TO COPY-PASTE -->
    <object id="player" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="570" height="550">
    <param name="movie" value="http://12dayspanish.info/jwplayer/player.swf"></param>
    <param name="autostart" value="true"></param>
    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param>
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
    <param name="flashvars" value="file=http://12dayspanish.info/video/VIDEO-NAME.mp4&amp;image=http://12dayspanish.info/img/IMAGE-NAME.jpg&amp;autostart=true"></param>
    <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="player2" name="player2" src="http://12dayspanish.info/jwplayer/player.swf" width="570" height="550" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="file=http://12dayspanish.info/video/VIDEO-NAME.mp4&amp;image=http://12dayspanish.info/img/IMAGE-NAME.jpg&amp;autostart=true">
    </embed></object>
    <!-- END OF THE PLAYER EMBEDDING -->
    </p>

    This is assuming you are:
    1. Using an mp4 file
    2. Have the JW Player in the root directory
    3. Video file is in the directory named "video"
    4. Thumbnail is in a directory named "img"
    Simply rename the image file (IMAGE-NAME) and the video file (VIDEO-NAME) in the code above and it works great for blogs OR static pages...

    A good way to test it out is copy the code into notepad, then save it as an html file on your desktop.

    Launch it in your browser to see how it looks.

    P.S. The smilie in the code is the colon symbol followed by the letter D

      Thanks for your help.
      I have passed the job onto a HTML coder now with the hopes they can fix it. I will pass on the information.
      Thanks again
