Plugin Media Player

Use this wiki plugin to play a media file, like MP3, MP4, SWF, FLV, AVI, WMV, RAM, MOV, MPEG, PDF, ... To play them, this plugin uses an open source media player based on Flash or a native HTML5 player.

Parameters

Besides the parameters described at http://flash-mp3-player.net and http://flv-player.net you can use the following Tiki parameters:
(Found it at tiki-admin.php?page=textarea&cookietab=2&highlight=wikiplugin_mediaplayer.) Add a media player to a page
Introduced in Tiki 3.
Go to the source code
Preferences required: wikiplugin_mediaplayer

Flash MP3 Player Parameters:

Troubleshooting

• Make sure you have enabled jQuery Media feature if you are not using mp3 or flv file (using the src param)
• If the player still doesn't appear, you probably got one of the plugin parameters wrong.
• If the player appears but won't play, you probably got the wrong URL to the file.

Examples

MP3 Examples

For files in the file gallery:

{mediaplayer mp3="display10"}
{mediaplayer mp3="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=389"}

Using actual file path:

{mediaplayer mp3="http://usuaris.tinet.org/mikell/EntrevistaRadio4.mp3"}
{mediaplayer mp3="http://usuaris.tinet.org/mikell/EntrevistaRadio4.mp3", style="mini"}
{mediaplayer mp3="/test.mp3", loop="1"}

FLV files

Use the flv and type parameters to show flv files as shown below:

File gallery flv file:

{mediaplayer flv="http://example.com/display10" type="flv"}

Otherwise upload the file to a directory on your server and use the direct file path. If the file has the .flv extension, then the type parameter doesn't need to be set:

{mediaplayer flv="http://flv-player.net/medias/KyodaiNoGilga.flv"}

Example with the src param (jQuery Media)

With jQuery#Media, so that more media formats are supported once you use the param "url" in the plugin helper ("src" in the code), including pdf among others. The value in the src parameter must end with a file extension

This code:

{mediaplayer src="https://branding.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=37&page=Slideshow" width="100%" height="600" type="pdf"}

Would produce this PDF in the player:

Alternatives to display PDFs.
Wiki Plugin PluginWebDocViewer is similar.

• If you run into problems with one, it's nice to have a second option to try.

FLV

This code:

{mediaplayer flv="http://flv-player.net/medias/KyodaiNoGilga.flv"}

Would produce:

WebM (VP8 codec)

This code:

{mediaplayer src="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=465&display=y" type="webm"}

Would produce something like:

File gallery file in a blog post

An example for a successful use of the maxi Mediaplayer in a blog post looks like this (only caveat is to have access rights for the relevant user group by setting tiki_p_download_files to yes - sometimes, a restart of the browser seems to be necessary to make those rights work...)

{mediaplayer mp3="http://example.com/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=1&showstop=1&showinfo=1&showvolume=1" style="maxi"}

PDF file in a file gallery

This also works for a pdf file in a file gallery beginning in version 10:

{mediaplayer src="display1134" type="pdf"}

Would produce something like:

And it displays the PDF file with the ID 7. You will need ViewerJS
Starting in Tiki19, you can get PDF.js viewer via Packages

• An alternative is to use PluginWebDocViewer to display PDFs. (May display better on some smart phones and tablets.)

If you prefer the Flash player you can download the player itself (an .swf file) from http://flash-mp3-player.net or http://flv-player.net or http://code.google.com/p/mp3player or http://code.google.com/p/flvplayer/. If you do, you will need to edit the plugin (at lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_mediaplayer.php) and change the default source in the plugin code or add it as a "where" parameter in that instance of the plugin.
