a few feature requests

By haha326, 1 year ago.

hey, I gotta say I LOVE the player. I've been searching for a long time for something like this. All the other "free" flv players either suck or won't let you use them on a commercial site (or they're 200k with JS and swf altogether, unnacceptable).

I have a few usability requests that you may or may not have already thought of.
1. It would be nice to have the play button in the control bar even before a user clicks the big play button. Is there already an option for this?
2. When making the video a clickable link, it would be nice if a user clicked outside of the big play button the player would start the movie instead of opening a new page (this could be confusing as I think most users are used to being able to click the whole video to get it to play). This could maybe be a configurable option too.

I've also noticed that using the slider before the movie has been started results in the big play button disappearing AND the play control is gone as well, so a user could potentially be stuck on a single frame with no way to actually play the movie without refreshing the browser (this could be solved with #1 I believe).

Thanks so much for the awesome player!

great suggestions. I will make sure all of those are addressed in the next release, thanks for pointing those out.

Regarding the "play button" in the start bar. Is there a possibility by now? Furthermore, can the "big" play button then be removed completely. That would be great.

All of these new features may have to wait until we release an Actionscript 3.0 version of the player, which could be in the next few months. We, at Jambo, have been busy working on new technology for our system. http://www.jambomedia.com/
