## Description
**wp-flxerPlayer** is a filter for WordPress to display **any flash content** in**
valid XHTML 1.0 Strict**.
This development start basing the php code on the pb-embedFlash of pasber http://
pascal-berkhahn.de.
With _admin panel_ and **media & playlist manager**!
**See the Installation tab for more information about the usage.**
*- wp-flxerPlayer is optimized for WordPress 2.5.
This plugin comes with currently 2 ways of displaying your flash content:
* `` tag
* SWFObject (JavaScript)
**wp-flxerPlayer** primarily supports, but is not limited to…
* .swf
* .flv, .mp4, .mp3, .png, .jpg, .gif and .xml playlist
* YouTube
* Google Video
* Revver
* SevenLoad
* Vimeo
* GUBA
* ClipFish
* MetaCafe
* MyVideo
* Veoh
* ifilm
* MySpace Videos
* Brightcove
* aniBOOM
* vSocial
* GameVideos
* VideoTube
* AOL UnCut
* grouper
Unfortunately, Blip.tv, Garage TV, Break.com, dailymotion and Yahoo! do not put
the videoID into the browser URL; therefore you have grab the path to the video
file from the embedding-HTML-code they offer.
If your favorite video hoster is not listed as supported by this plugin, _you still
can use it_ by copying the link to the video out of the embedding code. Please give
me a note if a video hoster is missing or not fully supported, thanks.

#### Usage
To embed flash files into your posts, please insert the URL into following code:`[
flash URL VALUES]`. URL is the full address with heading http://. Possible VALUES
are listed beneath.
**If you want to embed movies from YouTube, Google Video, etc., simply post the
full address of the item’s site.**
Example: `[flash http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=SOME_CHARACTERS]` or `[flash http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=SOME_NUMBERS]`.
Width and height are set to the respective settings of the supported hoster automatically.**
You don’t need to cut sth. out of an address or HTML code!**
**flv/mp4 support** just use [flash URL VALUES], the flv/mp4 file is detected automatically.(
You have to buy a license to use that player commercially.)
You can also embed media (`[flash medium=ID VALUES]`) and playlists (`[flash playlist
=ID VALUES]`) from the media manager.
(Attention! Each flashvar overwrites his
counterpart in following order: admin panel settings < media & playlist settings
< flash tag settings.)
**!!! _The following documentation of possible values is eased heavily by the admin
panel popup (since v1.5)_ !!!**
VALUES can be one or more of these:
* If you want to override the default values for width and hight, use the following
code: `w=WIDTH h=HEIGHT`. WIDTH and HEIGHT are in pixels as number-only without
unit.
* If you want to override the default value for the class, use the following code:`
class=CLASS`. CLASS is the class to be used. If you don’t specify a class, the
default class “embedflash” will be taken.
* To specify the style for the `` without defining a class, use the following
code: `style={STYLE}`. STYLE must be valid CSS code. Please ensure that you put
it into {} brackets!
* To manage gallerys, use the following code: `[flash FIRSTMOVIEURL title=FIRSTMOVIETITLE
gallery={MOVIE1URL MOVIE1TITLE,MOVIE2URL MOVIE2TITLE,}`.
* You can also display a link to the file with a specified text: `extern={TEXT|
LINK}` or `extern={TEXT}`. TEXT is the text to show as link, LINK will be the
target. If no LINK is given, it defaults to URL. Please ensure that you put it
into {} brackets!
Example #1: `extern={Go to YouTube}` will output: `Go to YouTube `. Example #2: `extern={Visit the
author's website|http://domain.com/?site=home}` will output: `Visit the author's
website ` If you are embedding a video from a hoster supported by this plugin,
you can add a “Watch it at …” link by adding `extern=1` instead.
* If you want to specify additional parameters to the `` tag, use the following
code: `o={PARAMETERS}`. PARAMETERS can be one ore mutiple valid parameters for
the `` tag except ‘data’, ‘width’, ‘height’, ‘class’ and ‘style’. Please
ensure that you put it into {} brackets!
Example: `o={tabindex="2" name="flashmovie"}`
will be outputted as: `
