first trick is automatically adding an onscreen player to any MP3 or FLV content object. For example, add a File object anywhere in your Plone site, and upload an MP3 or FLV as its content. As soon as you click Save, you'll be greeted with a handy player of the sort shown either.
Conveniently, flowplayer
also supports media stored outside your Plone site: instead of a File, create a Link object, and point it to the URL of an MP3 or FLV housed on another server. Voilà: the same player shows up.
Many aspects of the onscreen player can be tweaked on a per-Plone-site basis. The ZMI page at your Plone site → portal_properties → flowplayer_properties enumerates the options:
Option |
Description |
---|---|
player |
The URL of the Flash player to use. The main case for changing this is when you've purchased the commercial version of Flowplayer. |

If you are using a playlist (see below), loop back to the beginning after the last item finishes playing... |
