The Open Source Joomla Mambot
The Open Source FLV Player now has a mambot! The current mambot is written for Joomla 1.0 - this can be considered an alpha release, but if your comfortable with Joomla, go ahead and test it out. It does not work with Joomla 1.5 - not even in Legacy mode.
I am working on a video tutorial. Until then, here is how you set it up.
** Note: This bundle has recently been re-released with several bug fixes. If you were having trouble with it, please re-download the new version and then follow the instructions. We apologize for the inconvenience.
1) Download.
2) Install the Mambot. (Go to Installers > Mambots. Hit browse, find the
zip file, click Upload File and Install, hit Continue…)
3) Publish the Mambot. (Go to Mambots > Site Mambots, find FLV Tag,
click Published)
4) Use the mosShowHead(); function in your template.
<html>
<head>
…
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>
…
</head>
….
</html>
5) Put it last. (Click FLV Tag, go to Mambot Order, choose last. This
screen also lets you change a few default options. Save when done.)
6) Start adding video! You can insert video by adding {video
src=”video.flv”} into the Content. The video tab supports all of the
attributes of the regular player. You can get the complete list here.

I tried it, but when I install the mambot, even without publishing it, my layout gets all messy and I have to uninstall it…
Can you point me any possible cause for this, so I can try to fix it?
I really enjoyed this gallery, but can’t figure out a way to put this to work…
Thanks!

When where there be a Drupal module for this player?
May 28th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I tried it too, but no luck. I really like the look of your player, but I need a mambot that doesn’t require hacking to get it to work. Oh well…

No luck either with this player. I like the look of the player as well, but can’t seem to get it working with Joomla 1.0.15. Anyone have luck with this player and Joomla? If so, what were the the steps you followed to get it working? The steps above were pretty clear, but I must be missing something.

Plz tell what to do with this code, where to put this ,{video src=”video.flv”}
This is a php code,need to write in php tags, and in which form——-it is string,or function plz explain it completly

{video src=”video.flv”} that in introduces the mambot to replace the tag with needed html tags and javascripts
December 17th, 2008 at 11:46 am
the osflv doesnt work togther with the jscrollpane plugin of jquery
December 17th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
seems like the Problem is the AC_RunActiveContent script. If i include the object tags static into html the player works well.
i will fix it. in the mambot. If there is a way to contribute the fixed version here, let me know.
December 17th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Thanks, ben. We will take this into consideration for our next release.
December 26th, 2008 at 6:56 am
as it turns out the problem is the jquery $(document).ready(…) stuff. The document is closed and the AC_RunActiveContent script writes flash tags into a new document … resulting in a white page.

March 11th, 2009 at 4:17 pm

Dude, this is awesome. I can’t wait to finish download and try it. Thanks in advance for the mambot hopefully save me a lot of time. If you need any help for translation in Turkish in any open source projects I’ll be more than happy.

May 5th, 2009 at 9:43 am
