I can not use this Plug-in neither. Who can help us ???
Hi all
I have been playing with this plugin for the last few weeks and i must say it hasn’t been easy to install. luckily i understand chinese so i could get some information from the website. I have successfully installed it on a slatystain them and a vslider theme. ok, here goes:
1. change the path to the rpc service in ‘coolplayer.js’ to an absolute path: coolplayer_rpc.use_service('http://yoursite/wp-content/plugins/coolplayer/rpc.php');
2. turn off the tinymce editor for the current user (user options at the bottom) otherwise your coolplayer statement is screwed by the editor.
3. Make sure there are no mimetypes being invoked in the header (mimetypes.php). You don’t have to put in any special code in your header for coolplayer to work, but sometimes other javascripts get in its way and it refuses to show. play with the position of javascripts to find out where the error is.
These are just a few hints. every installation is different and the plugin is very fragile. I’m still struggling with positioning flv content on my site but that’s a css problem.
I’ve only just started with this plugin myself and after a bit of reading it’s apparent that I may have been too hopeful in attempting to get it to run first try.
I’ve made the change to use the full path for rpc.use_service, however when I try to use the plugin in a page I get the following error:
::CoolPlayerBLOCK1::
Any ideas?
Resolved!
In coolplayer.php, changing 5000 to 0 did the trick as follows:
add_filter(‘the_content’, array(&$CoolPlayer, ‘part_one’), 0);
add_filter(‘the_content’, array(&$CoolPlayer, ‘part_two’), 0);
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, array(&$CoolPlayer, ‘part_one’), 0);
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, array(&$CoolPlayer, ‘part_two’), 0);
add_filter(‘comment_text’, array(&$CoolPlayer, ‘part_one’), 0);
add_filter(‘comment_text’, array(&$CoolPlayer, ‘part_two’), 0);
Ok I’m very lost, I want to put a short movie in my post, and I think I have installed the plugin, but I don’t know how to insert the file into my post so that I can test it to see if it is working. I can insert images is it the same?? sorry its probably a very basic question but I am a real beginner here.
i’m with PurpleFlower here… i’m not getting this at all.
You have to turn off the fancy non-HTML editor to embed a media file; this is a Users, Your Profile setting in WP. Upload the file to WP, and enter something like this in your post:
<coolplayer width="320" height="160" autoplay="false" loop="false">/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/mymovie.mov</coolplayer>
Downloading the RPC files from coolcode.cn and dumping them in your coolplayer plugin directory and editing coolplayer.js to point there instead of coolcode.cn will almost certainly help performance.
I have now told you everything I know about CoolPlayer, taken from the English bits of this site: http://www.wordpresscn.com/357 🙂
I have plugin installed, and activated. I have updated the coolplayer.js file to point to my site’s path for the rpc.php.
Here is my problem – every time I enter the code (in the HTML editor, not the “standard” editor) the <coolplayer> blah </coolplayer> tags are replaced with just +CoolPlayer_BLOCK_1+.
Example:
<coolplayer>http://mysite.org/Ninjai/chap03_1-MeantToCutOffYourHead.mp3<coolplayer>
is typed into the HTML editor. When I click UPDATE, the page just shows +CoolPlayer_BLOCK_1+
It is not a hyperlink.
Help?
Edit – trying the above by 32bitwonder switching of 5000 to 0, will update.
Edit 2 – WORKED! Thanks 32bitwonder!
New problem (sigh)
Now it simply shows a light gray box with the word Loading… in it forever. I thought it might be taking a while to download the file, but it is even with a smal .jpg file.
If I click in the box and enter a URL to a file, when I click Enter it pops up an error box saying “Cool Player RPC is not ready.”
Suggestions?
Do you have to use coolplayer?
I use this one:
http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/
and it was really easy to install. I understood it right away, that is a really big proof that it is easy.
You can see it on my page: http://www.kenta.no, I’ve used it in a post.
Thanks for the response.
I used mp3 files as an example. It is really for .avi files, but I wanted to test with something relatively small in filesize so I knew bandwidth wouldn’t be a factor in the problems. It looks to me like the audio-layer plugin is for audio only (genius, aren’t I?)
I see on your site you are hosting a YouTube clip – using WPExtreme plugin, I gather? My understanding of that one is it will not play .avis from your host, just externally hosted files.
EDIT: the Audio Player plugin worked perfectly for the .mp3 files – so I thank you for that! Too bad Cool Player isn’t as simple.
My bad, thought you only needed audio…
I don’t have any plugin for the youtube-clips, just linking them directly from youtube, so nothing from my host.
But hey, good luck!
Update:
It certainly helps to actually upload the RPC files to local site if you are going to POINT to your local site.
New error: Now, if I put a valid URL into the Loading… box,it WILL play it. But for somereason it won’t play the file I point it to in the code. It still just says Loading…
If I use the same URL fromt he code and paste it into the Loading… box when you click on it, then it plays fine.
andot responded back and told me to go the other way with the coolplayer.php. He said to try the below code and it WORKED.
add_filter('the_content', array(&$CoolPlayer, 'part_one'), 0);
add_filter('the_content', array(&$CoolPlayer, 'part_two'), 10000);
add_filter('the_excerpt', array(&$CoolPlayer, 'part_one'), 0);
add_filter('the_excerpt', array(&$CoolPlayer, 'part_two'), 10000);
add_filter('comment_text', array(&$CoolPlayer, 'part_one'), 0);
add_filter('comment_text', array(&$CoolPlayer, 'part_two'), 10000);
Note; the change is to bump the 5000 to 10000 instead of dropping to 0 (zero).
