QuickTime Embed

Hi

I add a “loop” option to your script, I needed it, and it was not there.

:)…. Nice script

hi i am trying to get my .mov files to loop is there a way to make this happen using your plugin?

Can’t use http links, thanks for the shitty plugin

Eyn: Thank you for making this. Trying to get it working with WP 3.0.4.
I realize it’s only tested up to 2.8, but I’m trying it anyway… as I’m not sure what other options exist. I also realize you are working more on the FLV, than on this.

Problem: Line 159 of quicktime-embed.php was writing out Lines of undefined variables above the actual Movie. Specifically for me, on Firefox 3.6.8 and Wordpress 3.0.4

{$href} {$target} {$controller} {$targetcache} and {$ipod_link}

I’m NOT a programmer, just a designer, but deleting only those variable references, (not Autostart… which seems to be defined in the header, and works) also removes the offending Lines above the video. I think this will also disable some of your intended features. Will it also cause other bigger issues? Could you take a look, or can I send you anything to help resolve this the right way?

Thanks in advance, if you’re able to do anything.

I want to make a video loop, what parameter should I use?

Hi,
I really enjoy this media player and think you’ve done a great job with it. I have a couple questions. Is there any way to get multiple videos to play in the same player? Sort of like a play list or media player instead of separate instances for multiple videos?
Also, my videos which are smaller in size seem to be working, however my larger size files don’t seem to be buffering/playing. Is there a file size limit? Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks so much,
Adam Block

I cannot get this working currently :(

Not going to bother trying this as there is something seriously buggy about your website. Trying to drag the scrollbar in Google Chrome it jumps back to the top of the page.
