Viewing Flowplayer Designer

Flowplayer Designer



User: Roddy 11 years ago
Flowplayer is my player of choice when more than one movie is required on a page since its easy to set it up to show a splash image and prevent preload. Its main advantage is that one player will turn off as another is turned on.

Flowplayer designer is a relatively new concept and allows you to customize the player and create it as fixed or responsive...

A customized player is a little more complicated to set up as it needs the CSS added to the of the doc.

If you don't need custom, its just a question of entering links to jQuery, flow player.js and .css in the and this in the body...

class="flowplayer no-toggle"
style="width: 320px; height: 240px; ">


There is no java script setup required and it wouldn't take much to implement a widget to insert it even more easily.

Note that I added the poster image and the preload" none since these are essential and for some reason the designer doesn't include these functions.

You'll notice that I only include an MP4 since the player will fallback to flash in Firefox and the OGG and WebM are not really required. If you do include these files, make sure the MP4 is first in the list or the movie won't play in Safari like the one on the Flowplayer site!

Here it is in the EasyWeb created iPhone website...



The fullscreen control is in the upper right and the <> pops up an embed link.
