I want to try it
January 28th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
awesome player
January 29th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Trent you are a genius! So thrilled about the player!
February 1st, 2008 at 12:41 am
I’d like to know how to install this on my site to replace the seyret player.
Thanks.
February 23rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
Do you distribute this player under GPL licence ?
For example, can I use it in a high school to stream courses for students ?
February 23rd, 2008 at 8:48 am
Yes. It’s dual licensed, GNU or GPL.
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Wonderful, thanks again for this work !!
March 4th, 2008 at 12:40 am
May one tell me how does it work? Where is the player file in player2.zip? Is there a document that describes the functionality of each file in player2.zip?
Regards,
March 18th, 2008 at 5:02 am
Hi - I understand player.swf is published for FP9, and so player.fla must be a flash 9 file - but surely you could save player8.fla as a flash 8 file for the download?
Cheers!
March 18th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Anthony,
I can’t, because I made it in Flash 9. You can thank adobe for that complete lack of backwards compatibility.
March 21st, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Hello. Your work is great for sure. However, I have some suggestions which I think that could be improved:
1) The control bar can be set to fixed height, which makes it looked better while the player is played on fullscreen or large size mode. Currently the bar is a little bit too large.
2) Is it possible to add a seamless mode, which, doesn’t have any interface in the flv player. Further commands can be issued by CallFunction & FSCommand to make control of the flow of the playing.
Thanks.
March 23rd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Can this player be used from your desktop, rather being web software? Probably help to specify.
April 5th, 2008 at 3:33 am
well,
there is a small bug, while we open the demonstration in safari browser and play video in full screen, at that time no controls are working. i mean i cant pause, rewind, or do anything in the control bar.
April 10th, 2008 at 2:33 am
hi,
I was using Flow player…
and today found ur site….

Thanks
Aampal
April 17th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Dope player, thank you and keep on the good work!
April 28th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Great stuff

May 18th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Hi, first I want to say, I LOVE this player.
I want wondering though if/when it will be able to use multiple files(like playlist) where in the code generator you can add say like ,’video_part1.flv’ and also ‘video_part2′ and have part 2 play immediately after part 1, so you can watch both parts without having part one stop after its done and having to click on something to play part 2.
I hope this makes sense lol
keep up the great work!
May 26th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Thanks for the Flash video player! I like your open source player!
May 29th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
How do I install this?
June 6th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Hello,
is there a way (an undocumented parameter perhaps) to hide the whole controlbar?
Regards
June 18th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Hi. Your player is wonderful, but i really dislike the volume control. Can you put a simple sliding volume control? or make this larger (width). Thanks!
June 24th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
i love the simplicity into your flv player, really the best one
July 5th, 2008 at 5:37 am
does this player support RTMP streaming for server(red5) ?
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:38 am

OPEN SOURCE MATTERS!
A big thanks with great respect and appreciation for the dude who made this!
You made my day !
July 24th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Hey! I’m back with a problem, hope you can help!
When I try to open the .fla files, it says : Unexpected file format.
What’s wrong? The files are broken?
July 27th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Love the player! Is there any way to remove the big blue play button with white arrow which appears in the centre of the screen once a movie is initially loaded. (Not the small one on the control bar). Thanks heaps
August 2nd, 2008 at 6:22 am
cool
September 19th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Hey, I just downloaded your player. Very nice but can anyone please tell me how can I add my logo in this player? Anyone?
September 28th, 2008 at 1:01 am
How could I tweak this to just be a player that will play a music stream? I appreciate any help you can give me in this area. Thanks in advance for your time.
October 19th, 2008 at 2:01 am
seriously u r genius in that player…..
keep it up..
November 4th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
I can’t get it to play files from imeem of veoh…
November 11th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Thanks! This is a great way to put a video on my site. Keep up the good work.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Is there a way to add a logo on this player. I use this one and i’m verry happy of it
Nice work
December 11th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
There is no functionality built into the code to add a logo, however, it could be done within the FLA file.
December 16th, 2008 at 11:37 am
keep up the good work
December 17th, 2008 at 10:59 am
I downloaded the zip files and when I try to run demo.php, I am getting error message ‘There was a problem loading your movie. Please try again later’. How to play the sample
Thanks
December 20th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
does any one have the install info for what access levels the files should have, I found it once I think this is why I can’t get it to work
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Do you have a version using actionscript 3.0?
January 22nd, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Brian - We don’t currently have an AS3 Player but that is in the plans for the near future. Check back.
January 26th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Can this be used to download the .flv files? If not, are there any plans for such a feature in the near future?
January 27th, 2009 at 8:58 am
download .flv files from where? The player cannot download any files. There are no plans for that functionality.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Is there a way to remove the centered big play button?
Thanks and great job!
January 30th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Thanks a lot for this. It works great!
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:12 am
You could either make sure AutoPlay is on (set to “true”) or you could remove the Play Button from the stage before you Publish the file and add functionality to have another click to play button. Or, if you still want a click to play Play button, you could simply go inside the movie clip for the Play Button and edit the graphics.
February 12th, 2009 at 3:48 am
Thank you so much for this open source video player. I had been looking, to little success, for a way to stream my FLV files for my portfolio. I finally stumbled across your lovely code. Thank you, especially, for the embedded code generator. That was a life saver!!
March 31st, 2009 at 4:12 am

March 31st, 2009 at 7:57 am
It is really a great player.
I think you people have solved the ‘Full Screen’ issue in version 2.2.5.
I have downloaded this version and try to see the demo, but it is not playing it is just showing me the loading process.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:02 am
Hm, not sure why the demo isn’t working. The swf should work fine though if you set it up correctly on your site.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:04 am
Unfortunately there is no functionality for a playlist right now. You would have to merge your videos out side of the player in order to view more than one. Maybe that will come in future releases. Thanks.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:08 am
I am just watching the demo of version 2.2.5, but it is showing the the loading process not playing anything. I am running your default video only video.flv and did not make any change in the files.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:38 am
@Nirmal - I updated the demo on the Demonstration page to show v2.2.5 so you can check it out there.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:48 am
Thank you, I saw the demo on the Demonstration page, but in this version there is not play button at bottom left corner. Could you please add it. I really need it in my site.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:52 am
@Nirmal - The play button appears after you click the big play button. It didn’t make sense to have both buttons and it caused the player to break at times. For autoplay, the player should show the regular play button. Also, when the video is done and its not set to autoplay, the big play button does not appear, the small play appears in the corner and the video autorewinds.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:55 am
Thanks for the quick response. You people really doing great work
April 1st, 2009 at 8:00 am
I love this player, but I don’t like the volume control. Could you please make the volume control something like YouTube has.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:04 am
@Nirmal - This may happen in a future release.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:05 am
Good to know. Can we have red cross on volume when the we press it for mute in future release. Thanks in advance.
June 2nd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Hi, your player is great, thank you for your hard work. I have a comment though: I’m running it in my personal Apache server, and whenever I minimize the browser (tested on IE7 and Firefox 3), or maximize, or maximize or minimize any application, the player will briefly pause, but although very briefly, still very discernible and kind of annoying. I don’t know if this is a problem only in my system but anyway, I wanted to pinpoint it. Other sites that play FLV like youtube don’t show this behaviour. Thank you again.
June 2nd, 2009 at 3:18 pm
@Andy - Thanks for pointing this out. We will look into it.
June 11th, 2009 at 2:51 am
How far away is the ability to dynamically display the still image? My application has a single page with the player embedded then it pulls in the video and would also like it to link to corresponding still image.
Wouldn’t it only mean setting up up a variable to pass the name and location of the image rather than having it hard coded?
June 11th, 2009 at 8:13 am
@DearFAF - I was putting time into making the image dynamically load but it seems that very few people have a need for that. I will circle back to it in the near future. If you know AS2, you can set this up yourself in the .fla file. I will look into getting this functionality implemented soon.
June 12th, 2009 at 8:35 am
it’s a good one… but it’s not working in IE browser… can u help me out?
June 12th, 2009 at 8:42 am
@adam - are you sure you have the necessary files beside the player? especially AC_RunActiveContent.js.
June 12th, 2009 at 9:05 am
my mistake… it’s awsome!!!!! it’s working fine in IE browser…
June 12th, 2009 at 9:06 am
@adam - Great! Glad I was able to help you.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Hi, is there any way to use your player instead of JW FLV Media Player in Shadowbox (http://www.shadowbox-js.com/faq.html)? Shadowbox needs player.swf file and some more in his libraries folder. Thank you for your response
June 18th, 2009 at 8:06 am
@Pena - it should be very simple. it looks like the only files you need on that page are the swf and the movie.
June 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Responding to your post #63…. I don’t now AS2, any help on how to open the .fla file and how the file needs to be edited. Thanks
June 18th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
@Paul - You would need to open the .fla file (included in the bundle) in Flash. You would then need to create a Flash var for the image and an object to display it.
June 19th, 2009 at 12:34 am
Hi… I dont know how to install this player in my website based on clip bucket script can anyone help me please soon
Thnk You
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:52 am
I appreciate your hard work. The result is excellent, I like your player a lot. Thank you.
July 7th, 2009 at 12:34 am
Nice player in Open Source!!
July 17th, 2009 at 4:42 am
Hello, tnx for this player, u are great:D
I have see a problem on playerbar, if you click on this bar the video don’t work, you must reload anytime…This is little bug…
August 10th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Thank you so much for this flash player! You have no idea how much this helped me. I was searching everywhere for a free player and this one is awesome, easy to work with and free!
August 11th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I like the comments about your player. But when i want to trie it i always get the report “file is damaged”. Can somebody pass me a correct installer. My os is symbian third edition. (Nokia N93)
August 12th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I will try it,thanks
August 12th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I am trying to integrate this player with shadowbox js. So far I am able to get the error “There was a problem loading your movie. Please try again later.” Unfortunately I can’t get the video to play. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? I am using an absolute path to the video file. Below is my code:
TFL and Quadriceps Stretch Detailed Instruction
I uploaded the player.swf to the libraries/mediaplayer directory for shadowbox.
Thanks,
Melinda
August 12th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
For some reason my code didn’t show up above. Let me try again:
TFL and Quadriceps Stretch Detailed Instruction
August 13th, 2009 at 8:10 am
@Melinda - I will look into this. I don’t know much about shadowbox.js but I will do a little research and get back to you.
September 26th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Holy smokes you folks made this easy to use.
Muchas gracias amigos y amigas!
January 13th, 2010 at 10:46 am
Thanks, very good player ! Now need to make Skins support, i would like to have Youtube skins.
February 12th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
FYI - the control bar is 40 pixels high in the default player file. If you don’t add 40 additional pixels to the height of your video in the code, it will be scaled down in the player window. Adding 40 pixels to height will give your video a perfect fit, with now black borders. Great player, thanks!
March 17th, 2010 at 6:11 am
Where can we find the source code for V4.0?
It is not in the zip (no .fla or .as file). Am I missing something? Thanks!
March 17th, 2010 at 7:39 am
For this release, we have only included the swf.
March 17th, 2010 at 9:38 am
When i move the OSplayer.swf to a different location then where my .html stands i cant seems to get it working.
It is possible to change the location of the file OSplayer.swf right?
I did it like this:
I does load the player though but not the movie..
March 17th, 2010 at 10:45 am
Kevin, it is possible to move it, however, it would require you to update the path in the embed code on your page. The code generator gives you the code assuming that the swf is next to your html. Its not a difficult change if you are familiar with code.
March 20th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
souerce code .fla?
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:06 am
Hi,
in 4.05 the PHP files aside from flash.php are missing, but in flash.php there is “require getid3.php”. What should we do?
Thank you.
March 22nd, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Thanks for pointing this out. I will have the revised package ready for download tomorrow, however, for now you can fix this issue by downloading an older package and grabbing the “flash” folder and adding it to your 4.05 bundle.
March 24th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
Hi, good job. I’m looking for a flv/f4v player that could play video files from a XML file, with the shuffle option. Do you think I could do something with your work ?
March 26th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Sure, if you are an experienced AS3 coder.
May 27th, 2010 at 1:12 am
After Download ver 4.2 when i tried generate code page with valid input..nothing is happening..it is not working..is there any way to make it work
May 29th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Hello, great player! One thing I noticed: in the updated player there is a spinning circle that says “loading” over the player. For very large files its sits over the video nearly the entire time. The version of the player where the loading is shown in the control bar is more clever I think because it communicates not only that its loading but how far it has left to go as well. But anyway; this is one of the best players out there!
June 6th, 2010 at 11:10 am
I found this same problem, “in the updated player there is a spinning circle that says “loading†over the player.”. That seems like more than annoyance, it seems like it ruins the whole player, for video that takes more than a few seconds to load. I’m hoping there is a way to turn that off.
July 30th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
I’ve also stumbled upon the “loading” over the player issue. I have a 100mb flv file and the loading remains over the video for most of the play time.Is there a way to remove it or perhaps have the loading message not right in the middle of the screen?
September 8th, 2010 at 1:15 am
Thanx i used this for my office intranet to stream movies and animations to everyone through our server.
September 8th, 2010 at 5:18 am
Hello
your player est good but in the code source , the osflv class is missing ( public class OSplayer extends osflv) so where i can download osflv
thanks
September 9th, 2010 at 1:57 am
Hi, this is one of the best players available for free, but I have come across three problems,
1. Loading image in the middle of the screen, while the video is playing but not completely loaded.
2. When the video completely watched and when we replay the video the replay button is not removed in the second time playing the video.
3. If we have kept autoloading option to be “off”, among the two play buttons “big one in the middle of screen” and the “small at the bottom along with other controls”, the small button will not work.
Apart from these issues this player rocks!! Keep it up!!
Thanks,
Amit.
September 9th, 2010 at 2:10 am
Hey guys checkout the wordpress plugin I have developed using OSFLV v4.2.
