Portal video player

This is the current video player I am planning to have on portal

Current Issues
- I have used this before on http://lkagaming.com/gaming.html. That currently has a youtube link but I cant get youtube links working now for some weird unknown reason. So video files have to be hosted somewhere if we get this online in its current state.

- I am using an old version of the script and player as the latest update only shows a black screen.. if you have been paying attention to the homepage. Cannot resolve that for now but old version works ok so

If we get this current one on-line any video updates on the player, will need to have the mp4 (seems to accept mp4 files - tried wmv files from youtube channel and they didnt work ) files somewhere on-line ( no you-tube ), which isn't that much of an issue.. but its more hassle than juss pasting a you-tube link. So anyone rendering will have to render their videos in mp4 if they want em on homepage . I will try and find a fix for that later on.

Another thing is the resolution for the video files to appear properly and not have lines to the side or top ( Video A fits perfectly but others dont ).. it has to appear perfectly on youtube as a guide with the following OR matching resolutions to these

1920 * 1080
1280 * 720
640 * 480 (360??) correct me here

tell me what you think of the player and if you think a better skin can be used. You can browse here to see which one would look cool

to test a new theme, juss download it and stick the zip file here, where you see the current modieus theme being used



then juss insert the name of the new theme.zip or whatever is format it downloaded.. in the code ( there isnt much code in the page, you will find it easy)

Can we definitely not use YouTube videos? Getting more views with the video on the homepage would be a good thing, it would be strange having it from a file?

What we not be better just embedding a YouTube video down there?

thats what I am trying to fix at the moment.. to use youtube link instead of a file. Its easier to manage and yeah would get more views. Its working on my old sites but not on this one.. I juss cant understand whats going on.. will have a look when I am less tired from work.

Embedding a youtube video directly.. doesnt look pretty.. juss wanted to option to be able to scroll through more than one video when on the homepage... thus having a playlist on custom player.

in the mean if you guys think theres a better skin from that link.. that would be awesome and we could use that.

following link - the fourth video on the playlist has a youtube URL which plays fine on other computers, but not on mine.. if you can try it out and see if it works for you.

I'll try that later.

yipee the code actually works when live.. juss doesnt work when viewing on local computer offline on some pcs..
and this is juss with youtube URLS.. should we get another skin? or that one works??

Nice one! I'll check it out when I get on PC later. The little box you've made is looking good so far aswell. It's nice to see everything fitting together nicely.

LG has all the details of the bottom bar now, we've agreed a price and everything aswell so he's going to sign up later and start that.

Nah it's fine, thanks though. LG's prices always seem to be fair anyway. It isn't much.

The portal video player does look really cool I must admit! The video took like 20-30 secs to start playing for me though.

takes less than a second for me

I tried again and it worked straight away lol

Keep a space in there, maybe near the top, for the euro video I made.

was thinking about that actually.. its needs to be on to really

lol ok

I think this one is the best fs-40. Looks nice and clean. With a hint of stylish

agghhhh remove the tool-bars on your browser Luke... I cant stand toolbars lol.. another ocd of mine

haha i will do next time i go on sorry dude. Just a quick look. 2bh.

This one is another personal favourite of mine.

Theres a hint of blue in the bar at the bottom that hopefully can be changed based on the colour of the website

This is a earlier fs skin.

The 1st one i posted was fs40

This one is fs29
I know Otacon wasn't sure on the bottom bar in the fs40 skin. FS29 doesn't have this so hopefully its nice.

I think this one is nice, plus you can skip to the next video without clicking right.

whats the name of that one?

sick idea otacon liking it
