The best A/V combination format

Pablo Rosatti — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:12:50 -0000

It would be great for the open source community if it could play a simply MKV file with a x264 video stream and an Vorbis audio stream.

JS-API: Add enterFullScreen, exitFullScreen and isFullScreen

fabs — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:29:52 -0000

Please add the following API methods:

* api.enterFullScreen (enter fullscreen mode)
* api.exitFullScreen (exit fullscreen mode)
* api.isFullScreen (check display state)

Together with the implementation of volume control methods it would enable the users to control the flowplayer with javascript controls entirely!

JS-Callbacks: onFlowPlayerOpenFullScreen + ...ExitFullScreen

fabs — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:16:09 -0000

Please add two javascript callbacks:

1) onFlowPlayerOpenFullScreen and
2) onFlowPlayerExitFullScreen

My intention is to switch the streams to get the best quality when the user switches display modes.

Since I know the exact position where the user was when he clicked on fullscreen, I could ask the streaming server to deliver a stream with a higher quality and seek to the current position. And vice versa. But knowledge about the display state is required.

Range requests support

Jesus Altuve — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:02:19 -0000

Currently, seeking on FLV files is supported via the lighthttpd streaming option. for this to work, the file has to be injected with FLV metadata.

This method does NOT work with newer H264 files, however, seeking can be acomplished with MP4 files using simple range request the same way the iPhone/iPod touch do when viewing videos on the iphone.

is it possible to create a new feature that allows range requests to be supported so that FlowPlayer can send a porperly formated range request to the Web Server and get 'partial' data for the file being requested?

Thanks,

Instance-specific callbacks

Jan Ploski — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:58:14 -0000

With multiple instances of FlowPlayer on a single page, it is currently difficult (or impossible?) to find out which instance is calling back.

For example, the documentation advises to wait for onFlowPlayerReady notification before invoking methods on a player, but when you have two players, onFlowPlayerReady is actually called twice - without a way of telling which player has just become ready and which is still preparing.

The obvious enhancement to the API would be to allow defining callback functions on the instance returned by flashembed(), to be invoked on events pertaining to that particular instance.

Still Image capture

Anonymous — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 01:37:20 -0000

Request next release contain a capture facility to save snapshots of video to picture format (jpg, bmp, png, etc)

time data format

Daniel Fritschi — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:07:02 -0000

I prefer the time data format for a video duration in the following way:

00:01:00 / -00:59:00

elapsed time odd time

So the user can see directly how long the move still playing and for the whole duration its a simple addition.

Another request is to provide an opportunity to enable/disable the time data in the player.

MP3 playback.

Equinoxe4 — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 21:29:26 -0000

It would be a great feature if the FlowPlayer supported MP3 playback, and include MP3 in playlists, also with a JPEG image as background. It would make it a better media player.

Add Subtitles Suport

Aurélio Adnauer Heckert — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 20:24:38 -0000

I send the idea of Subtitles for the YouTube, on it's forum, but nobody comment that... English is a well known language, but the greatest part of the internet users don't understand english, but they will love to undestand the movies putted in english on the Web.

I think can be very easy to put Subtitles suport and a Subtitles Selection (fr, pt, es, jp,...) on the FlowPlayer. It's only text updated with ActionScript. ;-)

May the FlowPlayer be a subtitle editor too... may be... the configuration will tell this where the created/edited subtitle must be sended. I think it can be easy to... Can be? Well... I think it can be wonderful. :-)

Work together with the SWFDec

Aurélio Adnauer Heckert — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 20:23:32 -0000

The FlowPlayer is great and i want to use in my website. :-)

I want to propose to you to work together with the SWFDec ( http://swfdec.freedesktop.org ), the project who creates the flash player that i and some friends are using.

I have a iBook (PowerPC) with Linux and i can only use SWFDec to see YouTube.

The FlowPlayer is not working on SWFDec, like a lot of things, but will be great can use full OpenSource system to see videos on the web. I want to use that to the Brazilian Inkscape WebSite. But i need to test on my computer first. :-)

You can try to see what you can change, and help to the SWFDec knows what is more important to implement to the FlowPlayer work on this. Together. ;-)

I put the same request for the SWFDec hire:

Benjamin like that! =D
