Damn you beat me just came to delete the question

hi there

just found a binary for people on shared hosting with no ffmpeg support. I had to "chmod +x" by moving it in the cgi-directory and set the path to it in _config.php linke this:

FLV::set_ffmpeg_root('/home/customer/public_html/cgi-bin/binary/');

1) I'm not sure what you mean. You want to apply different treatment to the second video?

<% if Pos = 2 %>Do something else<% else %>Do the normal thing<% end_if %> ???

2) The video features are FLV centered. If you upload Quicktime movies they will be converted to FLV.

3) The video thumbnail is only good for the VideoPopup right now. I'm not sure if the player will allow you to set a static thumbnail image on its first frame.

If you want special treatment for one video, you usually use a HasOneDataObjectManager for something like that

static $has_one = array ('SidebarVideo' => 'MyVideoObject');

$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Sidebar Video", new HasOneDataObjectManager(
$this,
'SidebarVideo',
'MyVideoObject',
// headings array...
// etc..
));

The on your template

<% control SidebarVideo %>
... etc
<% end_control %>

You could also add a boolean to your video object for "show in sidebar" and then write function to just get those videos that have that checked. That would allow multiple videos if you ever wanted to do that.

You're welcome to use a different FLV player. Just extend the FLV class to your own and you can overload the Player function.

I'll look into the preview image. I don't know much about JWPlayer. I'm kind of learning as I go.
