Update:

Youtube support added thanks to Thomas Wegner.

Notes

Replaces the previous FLV Player for BlogEngine.NET. I need some help in defining all of the playable formats.  Right now I have flv, mp3, xml and asp (for playlists). With all of the great embedded players you can now play just about any media file you need to. You can customize how you want the player to display very easily by editing mediaplayer.cs. I coded it for my layout with a smaller width than you may need.

Acknowledgments

A copy with minor adjustments of the great MP3 Player plugin.

Features

Plays flv, mp3 and xml playlist files in an embedded player using JW FLV Media Player.

Notes

• Plays any file type that JW FLV Player supports.
• You can customize every aspect of the player by editing mediaplayer.cs
• By default the player size is 320x240 and it doesn't autoplay

Installation

1. Download the zip.
2. Unzip using any archive manager. At the top of unzipped package you should have two items: "mediaplayer" folder and "mediaplayer.cs" file.
3. Copy mediaplayer.cs into your BlogEngine extensions directory (/App_Code/Extensions).
4. Copy "mediaplayer" folder with all it content into root of your BlogEngine application - this is where you'll upload your media files for embedding also.  Make sure ASP.NET has at least read permissions on this folder. (you can delete the test files after you verify it works - they're not needed)

Using

1. Create a blog post. Add this line anywhere in the post: [ mediaplayer:test.flv ] (without the spaces)
2. You should see something like the embedded player below

Examples

Single FLV

Code: [ mediaplayer:test.flv ]

Single MP3

Code: [ mediaplayer:test.mp3 ]

XML Playlist

Code: [ mediaplayer:http://mirror.video.blip.tv/hot-shows.xml ]

The silverlight player is nicer than my wmv player but the main reason why I developed it was to play wma files - they're so much smaller. You can get the same quality at roughly half the bitrate of mp3 which means almost CD quality at 64 kbps or .5 megabytes per minute.

Does anyone on the web know where I can find this lost Mazzotti album?

 

GTA GTA-LP030 - 1974 Top Tape Label

Maybe the great Loronix will find this one...

Update: Zecalouro has informed me that, sadly, this is an updated cover for her album Ninguem Vai
me Segurar (1974)

Using Windows Live Writer is great with BlogEngine.NET, in fact it's preferable for one specific reason: the included HTML editor in BlogEngine messes up your inline code.  If you're trying to use my flv player extension you may have noticed that even when you use the HTML view (not WYSIWYG) your code still gets formatted and the video won't display.  The trick is to use WLW but when you publish your post, make sure your view is HTML Code (Shift+F11).  Then your inline code won't be altered.

Setting up WLW is easy, just put the Weblog Homepage URL of your blog like the example below and WLW will autodetect everything else. That's all WLW needs.
