Flowplayer freezes

**moret** · July 15th, 2010, 11:50 AM

Hello.

I've been trying to open a Flowplayer on Boxee on my app. It loads and show the chrome and first screen of the video. However it freezes at this point: Boxee is still responding, but the video won't go further than the first frame. Can anyone help me with it? Here's the code:

main.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<window type="window" id="14000">
<defaultcontrol always="true">130</defaultcontrol>

<onload lang="python">
<![CDATA[
videoItems = mc.ListItems()

videoItem = mc.ListItem( mc.ListItem.MEDIA_VIDEO_OTHER )
videoItem.SetPath("http://localhost/test/flowplayer.php?videoUrl=http://localhost/videos/testVideo.flv")
videoItems.append(videoItem)

mc.GetPlayer().Play(videoItem)

]]>
</onload>

<controls>

<!-- b:video -->
<control type="videowindow" id="130">
	<posx>0</posx>
	<posy>0</posy>
	<width>640</width>
	<height>360</height>
	<onleft>-</onleft>
	<onright>-</onright>
	<onup>-</onup>
	<ondown>-</ondown>
	<onnext>-</onnext>
	<onprev>-</onprev>
</control>
<!-- e:video -->

</controls>

</window>

flowplayer.php

PHP Code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<html>

<?php $videoUrl = $_GET['videoUrl']; ?>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></meta>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="flowplayer.min.js"></script>

<title>flowplayer-boxee adapter</title>

</head>

<body>

<div id="player" style="width:640px; height:360px;"></div>

<script>

$f("player", "flowplayer.swf", {

    clip: {

        url: "<?php echo $videoUrl ?>",

        autoplay: true

    },

    canvas: {

        backgroundGradient: "none",

        backgroundColor: "#333333"

    }

});

</script>

</body>

</html>

Thanks!

Did you ever get this working? I would love to integrate flow player into Boxee. I have a site I use to watch streaming video that does it all in flowplayer, and hate having to go outside of boxee to a web browser to use it.

This is strange. Im using flowplayer and it runs perfectly.

i have a simular script but it is running rtmp and rtmpe streams.
Maybe it has something to do with flash videos on http streams.
