Maybe I'm being a little dense here. I got everything set up with no problems. Images are a piece of cake but just how do you load and view videos? Is something extra I need to get?

Like I said I was being dense. Incase someone else is having problems. Just manually load with ftp a video in your album along with a thumbnail image. For thumbnail to work the video and thumbnail must have the same name. For example if video is named video.flv the thumbnail must be named video.jpg.

thanks for that. I hadn't been able to work it out
was trying to upload video with the admin panel

Hi:

I have been reading your entire forum on this topic. I did precisely what the instructions said.

Here is it step by step.

I created an album for video
everything is chmod 777
I converted a wmv to flv
I created a thumbnail with the same name as the flv file
I uploaded both files to the folder designated for the video
I go to my album and neither the thumbnail nor the video are showing anywhere, the only thumbnail is the generic zenphoto one.

Since I have followed all instructions, what is the problem? Can anyone help?

Thanks

Please check on the plugin page if either flvplayer or flowplayer are enabled.

I have flvplayer v1.0.2.8.2
and flv_playlist v1.0.4.2 enabled
the flowplayer is disabled

and nothing still

ok fixed.

I had uploaded it into the cache folder as opposed to the albums folder.

How can I add a one of the longtail skins to the flvplayer?

You will have to modify the flvplayer plugin.

I'm interested in this too. Could you please elaborate a little more? Which files should I modify to change a skin?

You need to modify zp-core/plugins/flvplayer.php (obviously, isn't it?..:-)).

D'oh! I was looking inside the flvplayer folder. That's why I couldn't find the right file.
Thanks acrylian

Ok, I'm stuck. I want to change the default skin to dangdang.swf but everything I've tried is not working, here's what my file looks right now (sorry about the lenght):

Well, I am not familiar with skins of the flvplayer (never tried it actually). You need to add a parameter (adVariable) for "skin" if I am not mistaken by the players documentation.
