            ! Plugin Media Player

Use this ((wiki plugin)) to play a media file, like MP3, MP4, SWF, FLV, AVI, WMV, RAM, MOV,  [http://tv.tiki.org/MP4|MPEG], PDF, ... To play them, this plugin uses an open source media player based on Flash or a native HTML5 player.

''(Found it at [tiki-admin.php?page=textarea&cookietab=2&highlight=wikiplugin_mediaplayer].)''

!!! 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:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{mediaplayer mp3="display10"}
{mediaplayer mp3="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=389"}
{CODE}

''Using actual file path:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}{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"}
{CODE}

{REMARKSBOX(title=Tips type=tip)}
''For files uploaded to the file gallery but stored on the server, the actual file path can also be used. Tiki converts file names to hash values for storage on the server - this name can be found in the database.''

And if the mp3 player does not show up in your tiki site, try disabling the "GZip output" feature (feature_obzip) in the Control Panels > Performance ( -+tiki-admin.php?page=performance+- ).
{REMARKSBOX}

!!! FLV files
Use the -+flv+- and -+type+- parameters to show flv files as shown below:

File gallery flv file:
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
 {mediaplayer flv="http://example.com/display10" type="flv"}
{CODE}
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:
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{mediaplayer flv="http://flv-player.net/medias/KyodaiNoGilga.flv"}
{CODE}

!!! Example with the src param (jQuery Media)
It has been enhanced in ((Tiki6)) 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:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}{mediaplayer src="https://branding.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=37&page=Slideshow" width="100%" height="600" type="pdf"} {CODE}

''Would produce this PDF in the player:''
{mediaplayer src="https://branding.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=37&page=Slideshow", width=100%, height=600, type="pdf"}

__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:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}{mediaplayer flv="http://flv-player.net/medias/KyodaiNoGilga.flv"}{CODE}

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

!!! WebM (VP8 codec)
''This code:''
{CODE(colors="tiki")}{mediaplayer src="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=465&display=y" type="webm"}{CODE}

''Would produce something like:''

{mediaplayer src="https://seeds4c.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=465&display=y" type="webm"}

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

!!! PDF file in a file gallery
This also works for a pdf file in a file gallery beginning in version 10:
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{mediaplayer src="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=1134&display=y" type="pdf"}
{CODE}
''Would produce something like:''
{mediaplayer src="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=1134&display=y" type="pdf"}

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.)

{include page="PDF related pages"}

!!! MP4 Using native player
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{mediaplayer type="video/mp4" style="native" width="640px" src="https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=81" }
{CODE}
{mediaplayer type="video/mp4" style="native" width="640px" src="https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=81" }

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 [http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki/trunk/lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_mediaplayer.php?view=markup|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.
