Ruslany,
Thanks for a wonderful plugin. Very easy to use. However, I have encountered a problem with a site I am building (www.pchchiro.com) using WP. My video(s) are under a drop down list (Services). When the video is displayed, my drop down list stops where the video player starts, so users can’t access the video menu if they’re on a page displaying video. Can this be corrected? My customer loves the video also! RB

thanks for this great plugin

I have mms stream, it’s work fine with windows media player, and the files that I’m streaming is working fine with silverlight because I check it as a file before adding it to my mms stream.

now, I’m trying to use this great player, but the mms is not working, any help?

This is a great Video and using it throughout several websites. I have two questions.
1. Is there a way to allow the video to load some before it starts playing. On some of the video, the player stops when it catches the buffer. Maybe we can set a delay from the loading before it plays to allow the buffer to be well ahead.
2. I know you stated above that you are looking at a playlist or gallery option which would be real nice add-on. I have to do several players on one page. Do you have an idea when this maybe added.

Again, Thanks for a great plugin.

@Pradeep: I do not know for sure if WME can handle FLV files. I suspect that it cannot, but I have have never researched that to confirm.

Hi Ruslan,

Is it possible to encode flv files with Windows Media Encoder with any plugin added? I see there is a option to register 3rd party encoder. I was wondering if there is one from Microsoft? I personally think that WMV is great. But unless there are options within WME to convert from worldly file formats to WMV this application is limited in its functionality.
I would like to see more video formats to enocode to WMV. If I missing something could you please let me know.

ma_khan: all styles support full screen mode. It can be turned on/off by double clicking on the video window.

Works great with wordpress 2.9.2 as well… Thanks Ruslan… Will be using this in production soon…
However, I see that HiddenDark and HiddenLight are the only 2 skins which have full screen mode… was it designed that way or you think there is some incompatibility with 2.9.2??

Regarding the scrolling issue, I have performed some additional tests to try and pinpoint which browsers this issue occurs on.

I tested the following;

Safari on OSX = OK
Firefox 3.5 on OSX = OK
Firefox 3.6 on OSX = OK
Internet Explorer 8 on XP and Windows7 = OK
Firefox 3.5 on Windows = OK
Firefox 3.6 on Windows = Stops scrolling

So it seems that the problem is only related to Firefox 3.6 on the Windows platform. Apologies for thinking that the plugin may have been at fault. I only thought that as other sites with embedded silverlight/flash players worked correctly when scrolling. I did manage to find several other users having scrolling issues when using Firefox 3.6 as well (albeit not quite the same). So it looks like a possible bug in Firefox.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I am using Firefox as my main browser. You’re right about IE, I just tried it in IE 8 and it works fine. I also just tried it in OSX using Safari 4. So it seems like just an issue with Firefox
