Having spent 2 days exploring all the different video gallery extensions out there I can say that your extension is the best out there. I particularly like the ability to skin the player. I tried various paid for extensions and most had code bugs and didn't install easily. This extension installed easily and worked perfectly. The one recommendation is that the documentation is a bit sparse and could do with fleshing out - it took a while to work out how it all worked but once I got the hang of it I was very impressed. Thanks for taking the time to develop this extension!
Hi there,
I must confess. you guys have really done a very great job. This module worked well when i installed in on my work pc but when i moved the whole document to a different pc it demanded that i "Get the Flash Player to see this player.". after installing flash player it didn't resolve the issue. this is the same issue "irecam" (1st reviewer) had.
Please advise me on what to do.

Hi
I installed this module and works great.
But, when I installed also a toogle menu, based en jquery, the module stopped working and give me a "error" message: Get the Flash Player to see this player. I updated the player and this not fixed the problem...
anybody have the same problem?? Can help me?

I think this module is the one of the best flv player module for joomla 1.5 ever!
I would like to recommend this one for everyone. It is easy to set up and use it.

The player functions well and I am using it to play both single videos and playlists, but unfortunately it throws an error in the error console of firefox.
Warning: Expected ':' but found 'undefined'. Declaration dropped.
This error caused a DVD order form (breezing forms) to not go to a thank you page.
When I unpublished this Flash Player module, the form worked as it should.
This error is thrown on the the pages I used the module.
I am afraid I'll have to switch to another player..unless anyone knows of a fix. I need the forms to function and have other options for players.

Excellent work guys!
Works perfectly. (I've tried it with different skins, xml playlists, etc)
Highly recommended.

I have tried all of the flash video extensions and going to stick with this one. Number one this module is very lightweight. Unlike the other one's a minimum of only one js file is loaded and inline only on the page where videos are displayed. No bunch of js files in the headers of all pages.
This just works! Playlist's are easily made in any txt editor. However there seems to be an issue using this on a local host eg. wamp server. Can't get rid of the "get flash player" warning while flash surely is installed. Looks like a path problem. Anyone on this one?
All together a great extension, thanks a bunch!

I was able to install it easy in a simple click with joomla installation.
It worked pretty good in the first 5 views, then it starts to get the same problem as the post above with IE error.
I tried his trick but instead of fixing it, it just got the player to not work showing the message: "Get the Flash Player to see this player."
I hope you can fix this as soon as possible.
Regards

I like the way module is working. The one problem I have is the playlist width. I have the playlist to the right and have set a width. It won't change. Also the Video Width seems to be the video and playlist together. Is that correct? Any ideas how to get the playlist to change widths?
Owner's reply
Playlist Position Right:
When the "Playlist Position" is right the "Playlistsize" is the width from the playlist. Then the "Video Width" is the the video and playlist together.
Example:
Video With 200px
Playlistsize 180px
= New Video With 380px
Playlist Position Bottom:
When the "Playlist Position" is bottom the "Playlistsize" is the height from the playlist.
