4.3.20. Media-Player

With the BBCode [mplayer]...[/mplayer] you can insert a Media-Player in your post.
Depending on wich media files release your administrator for upload, you can insert uploaded files into a post with the function 'Add to post' and show them with the Media-Player.
The Media-Player supported the video formats FLV and MP4 as well as the audio formats MP3, M4A and AAC.
To see the player you must have installed the Adobe Flashplayer-Plugin as Version 9 in your browser.


Remark, that not all Videos are playing in the player because there are many video subformats. If you have problems contact your administrator.
Also respect the copyrights of authors and the restrictions from your administrator.

Inside your Profile you can, if there are any problems with the player, turn off the player as well.
To play a particular file in the player, you must have the right to download this file.


The MPlayer-BBCode accepts the Attachment-BBCode [attach=XX][/attach] (attachments inserted into posts) as well as direct URL's. Furthermore you can submit up to 5 parameters to set different options.
Following parameter can be, seperated by a comma, delivered:


[mplayer=width,height,style,meta,alignment]...[/mplayer]


  • width, height: The width and height of the video. For audio files the height is unused.

  • style: Possible values: std, air or tube - Alternative styles for the control bar.

  • meta: Possible values: yes or no - For MP3-Files the title information is displayed, this is on as default.

  • alignment: Possible values: center or left or right - The alignment for the player: center, left or right. Standard value is center.


Each of the 5 parameters can optionally also be omitted. It is then used the default value. After missing a set parameter must be a comma if followed by other parameters.
Here are some examples for using:


BBCode
Description
It looks like
[mplayer]Video-/Audio-URL[/mplayer] The simplest usage. Between tags you submit a URL like: http://www. ....com/video/myvideo.flv referring to a media file.
Please note that for security reasons you can use only links to media files, which are located on this server!
[mplayer][attach=x][attach][/mplayer] Nested usage with Attachment-BBCode - probably the most frequently used form.
After inserting the MPlayer-BBCode select the attached media file by clicking the symbol 'Add to post'. Then the Attachment-BBCode is inserting into MPlayer-BBCode.
[mplayer=320,240,tube,,right][attach=x][attach][/mplayer] Additional parameters width and height for the video are submitted (320,240 as default and can be omitted). A video with other dimensions is resized to the submitted values.
Furthermore the Tube-Style for the control bar is submitted. The default value is 'std' (can be omitted). The alignment here is right (Standard: center).
[mplayer,,air][attach=x][attach][/mplayer] Shows a MP3-File with style 'air'. Above the control panel, the track information is displayed (ID3-Tags).
For all other audio formats only the control bar is visible.
[mplayer=240,,tube,no][attach=x][attach][/mplayer] Shows the MP3-File with style 'tube'. The width is 240px and no title information is displayed (Parameter: 'no').
The title information for MP3-Files is on by default (Parameter: 'yes') and off for all others.
