Is there a way to make it so that the file data does not start loading/buffering by default? I have a page on my site that serves as an index of multiple sound files, and each time the page is called, every single sound file starts loading. If I can accomplish this by editing the PHP file, I’m willing to do so.

Hi Pagecrew. Did you create the swf yourself? Is it possible there’s a script in there that forces the movie to loop? Some video encoders (like Squeeze) offer this as an option when encoding swf videos.

For some reason, my videos continue to loop non-stop. Does anyone know how to stop this? (I am using SWF files)

Thanks

QBrimur: Thnks, I downloaded the file and will look into it. On first glance it looks like the meta data in the file is OK, so it must be my fault somehow

Thanks for replying Roy. I checked in VLC and I installed the DLL you suggested and both say the FLV file is 320 x 240 pixels. I edited the php script in your plugin to set FLV dimensions to 425 x 375 (same size as youtube video) and also to 320 x 260 as you suggest but it still looks vertically stretched. The FLV itself is available here if you want to have a look yourself http://blog.brimur.com/wp-content/uploads/UtahSaints08.flv

Hi Brimur. The dimensions for any FLV video are stored in it’s meta data. My plugin read that and adjusts the display accordingly. Unfortunately, some encoders insert faulty numbers. Even a professional program I worked with mixed up the horizontal and vertical sizes. This is the most probable cause of the problem you’re experiencing.

There are programs available that let you adjust these figures. Could you check if the meta data says the file is something like 320×240 and report back? You can use a tool like this: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdv/

First off thanks for the plugin, very easy setup but Im having a weird prob which you can see in the link below. Basically I downloaded the flv of a youtube video and embeded both the youtube video and the flv video using your player. On yours though the aspect ratio is wrong. The video is stretched vertically….
