    Plugins and Configuring Strobe Media Playback with XML

    greg•hamer Community Member

      HI all,

       

      I am exploring F/SMP player configuration using the configuration= FlashVar to specify player configuration settings via an external xml configuration file.

       

      For plugins, an alternative syntax is hinted at in player configuration sample files.  Can someone from the team review the following and let me know if the syntax in the sample files is valid?  And if valid, provide a comparison of setting the same plugin values via FlashVars versus this new configuration file syntax option?

       

      The following player configuration sample file is included in the download for SMP 1.5 sprint 3 (StrobeMediaPlayback_1.5.Sprint3-full.zip):

      src\StrobeMediaPlayback\player\StrobeMediaPlaybackTest\html-template\configuration.xml

      This configuration sample file uses <plugin ...> syntax that is not documented in the SMP documentation (PDF of documentation "Using Flash Media Playback and Strobe Media Playback" downloadable here):
      http://www.osmf.org/downloads/pdf/using_fmp_smp.pdf 
      (Note:  PDF footer shows my current doc version as "Last updated 7/20/2010")

       

      The syntax in the configuration sample file at the path above is:

       

      <config>
      <src>http://mysite.com/my.flv</src>
      <plugin src="
      http://mysite.com/myplugin.swf">
        <metadata id="NAMESPACE_D">
         <param name="account" value="gfgdfg" />
         <param name="trackingServer" value="corp1.d1.sc.omtrdc.net"/>                       
        </metadata>
      </plugin>
      </config>

       

      A second, more complex file is in the download at the path:

      src\StrobeMediaPlayback\player\StrobeMediaPlayback\html-template\configuration.xml

      Thanks,
