JW Player customization

Hi germi,

for my video component I am using a customized skin. I would like to use that skin for the jwplayer plugin in JMS, too. I changed the swf file in /www/plugins/muscolplayers/jwplayer for the skin I would like to use and renamed it to player.swf

Unfortunately it does not seem to be as it as that, if you have look at my website you will notice the the problems. -> 1.song is not being played, 2. skin is applied to jwplayer module but without playing the song in both cases.
Player Problem

I attatched the skin [file name=grungetape.zip size=61789]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/files/grungetape.zip[/file]

you need to add the skin as a skin, not replacing the jwplayer

if I'm not wrong, all you need to do is go to file

/plugins/muscolplayers/jwplayer.php

on line 101 approx you find:

s".$unique_id.".addParam('flashvars','file=".$playlist_url. $string_params . "&autostart=false&repeat=list');

you have to replace it for

s".$unique_id.".addParam('flashvars','file=".$playlist_url. $string_params . "&autostart=false&repeat=list&skin=".$uri->base()."plugins/muscolplayers/jwplayer/yourskin.swf');

of course yourskin.swf has to be on the folder /plugins/muscolplayers/jwplayer

hi,

working strangely. Player does not appear properly (it's of course too large) and not showing in module position.

s".$unique_id.".addParam('flashvars','file=".$playlist_url. $string_params . "&autostart=false&repeat=list&skin=".$uri->base()."plugins/muscolplayers/jwplayer/grungetape.swf');

copied grungetape.swf into the occcuring folder...

hey, the hack I told you is for the PLUGIN, not for the MODULE!

and you have to make it fit in place...! adjust the width and height of the plugin!

I also had to change the similar lines modifying the flashvars calls in the file:

/modules/mod_muscol_jwplayer/helper.php

around line 86, and 180 (shifted due to changes) for change of skin of the module.

Where would you change the width and height. It doesn't work when you change the parameters in the back of the plugin.

Vostok-All,

I think the lines are 110 and 138 or approximately there if there was changes to it. Once you change the line to have the skin, it should look something like this:

s".$unique_id.".addParam('flashvars','file=".$playlist_url. $string_params . "&autostart=false&repeat=list&skin=".$uri->base()."plugins/muscolplayers/jwplayer/flashskins10blacksilver42.swf');

Make sure the skin (as example above: flashskins10blacksilver42.swf) is in the JWplayer directory (a sub-directory from there).

And last, when you are on the front pages and want to see the new skin, make sure you do an F5 to refresh the page cache.

Hope that helps.

hi,

I have used the music collection component.

I had put the JW Player for it, but it is not displaying the songs on the front end with the message "no valid filetypes found in this playlist".

Can any one know that where should I have to upload the songs?

Thakns
