Deteching Flash Video (FLV) in display_image.php

[fszone]

I am working on a FLV/SWF player for my gallery. What I want to do is something like this in display_image.php:

if ($mime_content['content']=='flv') {
SWF FLV player content here
}

How can I make it detect only "flv" file types?

Sorry - Version 1.3.3

why don't you just add flv to coppermine's filetypes table with the same settings as swf?

[gnuisnotunix]

wouldnt the FLV file just be sent to the browser if I add a flv file type?

The FLV file should be downloaded/played by a SWF (flv player).

[Joachim Müller]

not if you use the same mime type as for swf. If the flash player that is embedded into your browser is capable to display flv's, it will.

[gnuisnotunix]

In that case it would be easier to conver the FLV to SWF.
The advantage of using FLV (played by a swf -flv player-) is that the video starts playing while the file is downloading.

It wasnt that difficult 

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO `cpgXXX_filetypes` VALUES ('flv', 'video/x-flv', 'movie', 'FLV');

Replace the attached file (/include/themes.inc.php), and use the flvplayer from this thread http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=16818.0

EDIT: Oops! I made a mistake.. I was searching how to display FLV in CPG1.4 and for some reason I thought this thread was about CPG1.4.. Maybe someone can move this to the Mods??

[Joachim Müller]

don't edit include/themes.inc.php! Never! Under no circumstances!

[astapelfeld]

why not? I saw this is where the <object> tag for the SWF files is included and I need some special parameters (to define the flv player) to be incluede in the case of a FLV file.. is there any other place to do this?

[Joachim Müller]

yes: your custom theme.

Thank you .. I'll look into it..
