what I was looking for... I like jwplayer very much so this module is just what I needed fro my project.
But it would be very helpful if the controlbar could also have an "over" state besides only "bottom". I tried add a flashvar to the php pointing controlbar=over but that didn't work... I wish I could do that the same way I did with jwplayer...

Now you can! Update to Version 1.6.
Its the best extension ever!
...but I got a problem with IE (IE Could not open site http://www... Canceled operation.)
Google it to find why, here goes how I fixed it:
add to "mod_simple_video_flash_player.php" - module folder:
line 100 (put the code into a function, then use window.onload.yourFunction;)
looks like this
function myFunction(){
var s1 = new SWFObject("modules/mod_simple_video_flash_player/","ply","","","","#FFFFFF");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
s1.addParam("flashvars","file=");
s1.write("videoplayer");
}
window.onload=myFunction;
Not sure if its the right thing, but works!

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I loved the JW player, but I didn't know hjow to put it on my site. But this module makes it so much easy. Although I'm kind of not statisfied that the Youtube feature doesn't really work. But over all, it is great! It just takes three steps to do.
1. Download and install the module.
2. Place your video files on your site.
3. Copy and paste the url of your video in the url box.
Thats it! Great Job on this module.

Finally a player which shows a video without black screen as a frontpage!!
All other players for joomla show your video with an ugly black square on your page. the user has no impression of the video.
NOT this one. Here you get what should be so normal for all payers. your video shows with the first frame!!!!
It installs easy and is easy to use.
Only pitty: its only a module! such a great and simple player like this.. it would be so cool if it could simply also integrate into joomla articles with some simple code. because then it would kill all the other player in this extensions directory!
