wp_NonverBlasterHover

Please Note:

In Wordpress 3, this plugin causes a fatal error. Please don’t use it there. There is a new and working version in progress, please stay tuned! I removed the download link, since I don’t want to provide a doggy plugin.

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Since nobody was willing to write a plugin to use my player with wordpress I decided to use my incredible php skills and hack the well known wordpress-plugin wordTube. The video in this post was uploaded, edited and embedded using the brand new plugin “wp_NonverBlasterHover”.

Important Note:

If you want to use this plugin, you have to deactivate the plugin wordTube on your blog. My big hope is that fwolf will write something that is better than this. For me it works for now, though. If it doesn’t work for you, you will have to disable the plugin, and embed the player like youtube via embed tags. Thanks Vurdlak!

Features:

  • You can embed Video (.flv and h.264.mov) or Sound (.mp3) files
  • You can adjust width, height, loop, crop, showTimecode, controlsEnabled, defaultVolume, controlColors etc in a nice looking UI
  • You can directly insert uploaded media in a post using the “Add Media” button while editing.

    I’ll take a look into it – and if I’m starting to laugh, I’ll streamline it a bit (or use the code I started working on based on Vipers Video Shortcodes about a month ago) ;)

    Be sure to deactivate the WordTube Plugin, or this one will NOT work.
    At least in my installation.

    … if you have experience with Joomla … please make a Joomla plugin too :P

    There seems to be some generic weird fuckup with WP using SWFobject. For comparision, take a look at the WEAVE website: I’ve already successfully embedded several flash applications, but when trying to install an advanced flash app created by standardabweichung°, I couldn’t get it working properly. Finally, I chose the easy way but least satisfying using an IFrame, although Daniel K. of standardabweichung told me he got it working properly in ALL major browsers in his own install of WP, but which is heavily streamlined and cleaned up compared to standard ones.

    His guesswork is, that this problem is connected with WPs sometimes rather strange queueing approaches to JS and other files that get embedded using the WP functions. I’d rather agree with that.

    Thank you for the wordpress port of you player. I appreciate a lot the peace of code and design of the original nonverblaster:hover. Unfortunately width the wp_ version I am having difficulties to understand why the width/height settings do not take effect. For some reason the code created by wp or the plugin is always ”

    Is there something that I am misisng? a permission hick-up of some uploaded wp_nonverblaster component, maybe? I have no clue so far…

    Apresciate any kind of help here.

    Thanks, mat

    Sorry, the code part of my post got deletet. Hopefully it doesn’t get truncated this time:

    div class=”wordtube single2″ id=”WT1_1″ style=”width:320px; height:240px;”

    Hi Mat,

    you have to either set the dimensions of the player globally in the settings -> NonverBlaster:hover -> Settings Dialog or to do it everytime you are embedding a media file: [media id=1 width=500 height=281]

    hope this helps

    is there any possibility to center the videoplayer in a post?

  9. siris Says:

    I am having problem with my youtube video…nonverblaster takes the thumbnail image but while playing it ..it says video not found.

  10. Miller Says:

    I have the same problem as siris! Can you please help me?

  11. admin Says:

    Hi Miller and Siris,

    at the moment, youtube is not supported. I was working on that, but didn’t finish it. I think in the next time I won’t have much time to work on the player, so you should try another solution.

    sorry.

    Hey Rasso,
    Wow, you amaze me, i never thought I’d see it compiled under Wordpress. I wanna try it but the installation instructions are so vague that I can’t understand it. For example: I have a folder called wp-content/mp3/ and another one called wp-content/vids/. Now I’d like to add an mp3 file into the post but I don’t really see how. When I click the nonverblaster:hover media tab it can’t find anything (I set the default folder to wp-content/mp3). I would really appreciate a tutorial, with screenshots.
    Please note: I’ve been using this player as a standalone version and it really stall my system anytime it’s on one of my pages. Please try for yourself by looking at my website.
    All the best

  13. domingo Says:

    Sorry for the mixup, I figured it out just now. The only thing left is to get rid of the box for an mp3 file and only leave the slider (is there a way to adjust the size of this as in the standalone player?)

  14. domingo Says:

    Now I’m ashamed, I totally figured it out. The thing is that I rarely use the visual editor so I didn’t see the insert video button.

    And I also didn’t notice the “add new media” button in the media section. Sorry for all the nagging, you’re still awesome!
    All the best

    Just saw your note on the front page about this plugin-in, pointing to my name / site. Gonna do a proper write-up of this during the next few weeks (ie. April to begin of May), but I don’t know exactly when .. totally depends on my time, which currently is rare.

  16. domingo Says:

    Hey rasso. Me again.
    I was wondering if there is any actual way to implement playlists. Let’s say I have a bunch of different media, mostly mp3 and flv. When I insert the file and select the “random” mode, I get both mp3 files and flv played at random. The thing is that for my mp3 files I use a small player (height: 16), and when it loads a video file it looks ridiculous. So the question is, is there any way to play a set of mp3 files separately and a set of video files separately, with all of them being in the media library? Respect

  17. fwolf Says:

    The WP plugin is a bit … bloated. I’ve replaced all occurences the wordTube-string patterns to be able to let it run together with wordTube, but .. I guess I still have to work out a lean and mean, smaller solution for WP.

    cu, w0lf.

  18. fwolf Says:

    So what is actually needed? If we’d go along with a WP 2.9+ based plugin, we could easily use the oEmbed protocol handlers to create a lean, mean, and most of all, CLEAN plugin solution for WordPress.

    Required: Shortcodes and direct URL (ie. the oEmbed function) embedding. What else?

    Looking forward to the release.

  22. admin Says:
