MediaPlayer
“The JW FLV Media Player (built with Adobe’s Flash) is an easy and flexible way to add video and audio to your website. It supports playback of any format the Adobe Flash Player can handle (FLV, but also MP3, H264, SWF, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports RTMP and HTTP (Lighttpd) streaming, RSS, XSPF and ASX playlists, a wide range of flashvars (variables), an extensive javascript API and accessibility features” — Jeroen Wijering Home Page

Download JW FLV Media Player archive package. Extract it to your hard-drive. You get there everything you need to get started. Play with it. Learn from samples. Finally, create at your server new folder “mediaplayer” and FTP there file “mediaplayer.swf”, remember the URI to that folder.
As an example we will consider that your site is http://yoursite.com and that you just created “mediaplayer” folder in your root folder, so your URI will be: /mediaplayer/ — required instructions for your default settings will look like this:
<!--JWMP
mediaplayer=mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf
---->
With instrunctions for SWFObject2, you now have all required instructions.
If you are going to use mostly small window video for [.FLV] files with FullScreen feature then you should add these instructions:
<!--JWMP
allowfullscreen=true
usefullscreen=true
---->
If you need to disable FullScreen for some of your media object you should, in that post, use negative instructions for that particular media object:
<!--JWMP
allowfullscreen=false
usefullscreen=false
---->
The only required instruction for [mediaplayer] itself is [file]-instruction:
<!--JWMP
file=path_to_your_media
---->
And, again: be simple; use only features that are really necessary! With too much instructions you get unwanted effects on different platforms and in different agents.
If you have problems with [flashvars] and [mediaplayer], please, refer to Jeroen Wijering’s documentation.
