Custom colors not being saved for flvplayer

hobbes

I'm trying to change the custom colors for flvplayer in 1.2.6, but it's not being saved. I suspect there is a permission issue somewhere causing this, but I don't know where the color values are being saved. I can't find a database table for them, so I guess there's a file somewhere.

Does anyone know what file/directory should be writable to save the custom colors?

Cheers,

The colors are saved in the options table.

Thanks. I guess I didn't look hard enough.

It seems that the player is getting the values from the database, but the values are in the wrong format. They should be in 0xFFFFFF format, rather than #FFFFFF format:

If I edit the database with the correct format, the player changes the colors fine, but not with the current format. I'm using 1.2.6 and player v3, by the way.

Also, I think there's a typo in "flvplayer.php" on line 151 that prevents the "frontcolor" loading:

`so.addVariable("frontcolor","'.getOption('flv_player_frontkcolor').'");`

Is that "k" an error in "'flv_player_frontkcolor'?

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks you are right actually, it is the wrong. Funny that no one ever noticed that since it must be there since, well, a long time.. Also thanks for the typo find. We will correct this in the nightly build. Note: The nightly and so the next 1.2.7 release will drop support for flv player v3.

Both issues will be fixed in tonight's nightly. The color hex format was actually alright, there were just some quotes gone missing.

Great.
