Super simple flash video player.

Videoplayer

For many years I had a very crappy .flv player on xplsv.tv. One day I woke up and I felt like doing a new one, lightweight, more clean and very simple, with common VLC behaviours such as click for play/pause, double click for full screen. And in a couple of hours it was up and running. Just before you ask, the player only plays the video formats that the flash player support. That is, .flv and .mp4 mainly.

Using it on your site

Upload the .swf to your site and simply use this code:

<embed id="VideoPlayer" width="400" height="326" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="videoplayer.swf?file=yourvideofile.flv" allowFullscreen="true" />

Parameters:

Download

SWF file 16KB

Nice player! Finally something tasteful that's not full of nerdy buttons.

I've just updated the embed code, it was missing the allowFullscreen so the fullscreen feature wasn't working.

Many thanks to Mathieu for letting me know :)

thanks a lot for this cosy videoplayer! is or will there be a possibility to control whether the video begins streaming at once or on request?

Comment by info@mrdoob.com, Aug 26, 2008

Yeah, really wanted to put that on it. Added it to the 1.1 to-do list.

nice player,! but didn't you know that passing the variables in the url like you suggest videoplayer.swf?file=yourvideofile.flv implies that every time you load a different video the swf file itslef must be downloaded aswell? (no caching for the swf)

Comment by info@mrdoob.com, Oct 08, 2008

I see your point. The player is 16kb anyway so catching 16kb isn't too much for nowadays broadband connection. I'll see what should be the proper embed code for your case anyway. Thanks for the feedback!

Comment by info@mrdoob.com, Feb 27, 2009

Undefined. It may be tomorrow, in may be in 5 months. Depends of how I go with inspiration :S

ok i've just figured out how to get it with the little arrow beside the icon of the menu. Thx again.

Comment by spendolas, Apr 26, 2009

Hi again! How about a parameter for disabling "download video" functionality? Is there any?

Comment by ldhave, Jun 24, 2009

any chance on getting the autostart feature ? :) otherwise, love your player.
