I like this component but the code for the fetchers are so inflexible.......they all seem to just use the flash player as the src for the player and it's so hard to do much when u want to use from some site that the swf player don't give you the video file with it etc. Hope the next version is more flexible and hope it comes out soon.

What are you trying to do? ...

We are going to develop flowplayer plugin ... When it is out, you will see how those fetchers fit into it.

I'm trying to make a new fetcher for another site but their flash video/swf don't carry their videos with them so i decided to put it into iframe script on my page. I modified yahoo fetcher into this new fetcher and was able to get title, description, thumbnails etc. but the problem is in the ....maybe embed url? (not sure) whatever goes there probably goes into value of the player code. it doesn't matter if it's linkable or invideo links for for the remote host it just goes into that code.

<object height="676" width="900"><param name="movie" value=" LINKS HERE "><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src=" LINKS HERE " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="676" width="900"><a style="left: 1026px ! important; top: 677px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="iapiennkzatmibtjplva" href=" LINKS HERE "></a><a class="iapiennkzatmibtjplva" href=" LINKS HERE "></a></object>


rather than go into that code, I want to make another kind of video type so that if it's a certain type, it would just put my whole code into that part of the play video page. like embedding codes and anything else.


also since the fetcher goes into the import.php or fetchit.php and all these other pages, it makes it hard to modify it to just show my exact code. the fetchit couldn't fetch my links so it result in a fetch_link_failed.

dunno if you get what i mean but i hope to see more freedom of adding things next version. but if u can help me do it on my own you'll be my life saver

perhaps an EMBED code plugin?

are you a programmer ?

nope, i just know a bit so i wouldn't say i am. I mostly know how to get my way around the codes. however if it gets complicated I get dizzy and keep away hahaha.

If you are not an experience programmer, it is not so easy to know what are we doing ...
To us those code in the fetchers are quote straight forward...

When you quote "inflexible", i am thinking how flexible do you need in code level.
Code can basically do anything ...

Anyway, if you really need a fetcher that is not in the general release, this is what you can do.
1. post to suggestion section in our forum, we will develop it when the time is right. No timeline will be given.
2. If you need it urgently, you can create a ticket of "professional service" via support center. Our professional service team will quote you. We have done many of this already.
