A Smartass Education

hi!!

i like yr flash player . can i have it ? please :D thanks

Sure, it’s free. You can get it from jeroenwijering.com

Hi there, nice tip for you tube, appreciate that. Currently I am using JW FLV Player embedded into wordpress, I can play Youtube and Guba video streaming directly without problems, but I cannot for the life of me get Googlevideo to stream without an xml playlist…and it is depressing me lol…any suggestions?
Thanks man.

Yeah, I figured that one out too. It’s just too bloody long for the FLV player to read. Use tinyurl.com to shrink it.

hi

will this thing play YouTube playlists?

thanks

it’s just a link, but if you make a playlist with a bunch of items then sure…

if you mean will it parse their RSS feeds, then you would need to come up with your own script for that, but you could easilly have it parse the url and paste it into the above url to play in a player

Hi all. could any one tell me how get direct link of youtube flv using php so that i be able to use that link in jw flash video player that has xml file. I tried :
http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A

inside jw xml file but jw flash palyer could not play it!! could you guys tell me how to convert youtube link to direct flv link that can be used inside jw flash video player xml?Thanks

i run 2 Jw_flv players on my WordPress blog. i use Jeroen Wijering’s wizard to for instant customized players.

i also want to stream a youtube Playlist. i have not found a script or service which converts a Youtub playlist id into an flv feed, only an id feed

i’d love to have a draggable standard player, with it’s elegant under-the-player playlist-browser.

I have checked your website. It will be cool if you put a logo on the top of right corner. You can do that by adding this variable to your player page:
s2.addVariable(”logo”, “logo.png”);
// replace the ‘logo.png’ with your image.

Anyways your youtube ripping idea is not bad:)
thanks

This links doesnt work anytime: http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A

How to change it?

this method is now screwed. They added a variable to the URL. That URL now looks like this: http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A&origin=lax-v104.lax.youtube.com

The &origin=bullshit variable tells what server the video is located on. However there aren’t just one or two servers, there are 200 or so. That means that there is no one generic URL. I have been busy and didn’t notice that this was broken until your comment. I now have to go through all of my videos and open them and find an actual direct FLV link for every video, which is very time consuming compared to my original posted method which was really FAST to add new youtube videos.

oh well

Great trick. Congrats.

Any idea on how to find the right server for the FLV ?

Currently there does not appear to be any pattern to the link. So for the moment you will have to use a program that reads header information to get the full URL. I use ‘Tamper Data’ add-on for Firefox 2 see what the actual link is. *(be careful with that add-on, it conflicts with a few other ones and will freeze your browser if you have one of those enabled)*

try http://emssvietnam.com/Web/GetLink.aspx >> get link download from youtube, metacafe, break, putfile, video.google.com, free, no register, no email

Okay, this is off topic but is there still no way to embed a video that isn’t from stage6 onto a stage6 blog or forum? If not then maybe a link that opens up a new window with the embeded video inside.
Ex.
JW player opens in new window and plays the video file from another site.

Well, if no one can answer this then that’s alright. I don’t think we’ll ever see videos from other sites on stage6 except in linked video websites : \

i don’t think they allow javascript in the posts… so if they don’t u would have to just make it a link that opened a new page and went direct to a video. w/no javascript u couldn’t make it a popup / just a link..

I found your blog via Google while searching for how to add streaming video and your post regarding looks very interesting to me. All I can say is WOW! Extremely nice layouts, awesome graphics and great articles. No matter how many times I come here, I am still impressed by the very professional appearance. Congratulations on a job well done.

Hey thanks man. I do my best… tell your friends ;)

so this may be the wrong thread for this, but i am looking for a way to rip a video from a website (the vid uses a jw player), and so far have tried about a million things to no avail. realplayer doesn’t work, no online conversion sites (as one would use for youtube) work, and i am at my (admittedly limited) wits end. any possiblity you could help?

uses jw player so just view the source of the webpage. there will be a direct link to all videos in the src= section of the source. Unless it’s youtube and then it will just list the youtube address.

on my page there is an iframe so you would need to make sure you were viewing the frame source.
