Hello again,

I'm using JW AllVideos to show a self-hosted flash video. When the video is done running a screen overlays the player that enables the user to share the video, gives an embed code option, and gives the video information.

I'm looking to remove that function from the player, so the video just ends once it's done playing. I can't find any parameter in the plug-in that does this, and I took a look at the plug-in code, but didn't see anywhere obvious to remove or comment out.

Any ideas on how to make this disappear once the video is done playing?

The video was given to me with a blank (black) first couple of frames, so I'm also looking for a way to add a preview image. Any ideas?

On their demo page demo.joomlaworks.gr/allvideos

The two MP4 video examples end the way you want. But you're right I don't see any way to specify that happening. I've loaded it on a demo site and see what I can see a way.

They have custom options, and there may be one for this, but I can't find it.

Have you asked JW about this? It's in the demo, but don't see it in the docs.

Let me know if you've contacted them and they have any answers. In the meantime I'll try to see if I can figure it out.

Ed

Thanks Ed,

I was rooting through their forum and discovered that if you upload an image with the same name as the video into the /images/video directory, it automatically uses it as the preview image.

I still haven't figured out the share overlay though.

Nestled deep in the forum I found the answer.

In plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php

change line 32 ‘oncomplete’: ‘false’

Same with line 58 'oncomplete': 'false'

To get rid of the "Menu" icon completely locate the code for plugins (your 'oncomplete' may be set to true).

Change:

'plugins': {
'viral-2': {
'onpause': 'false',
'oncomplete': 'false'
}
},

to:

'plugins': {},

You have to do this on both lines 29 and 50

Hi Will,

I just came back to this and see you already found the answer. I found one too, but it looks like yours is even better.

Delete 'viral-2' as '' in sources.php, line 30 and 56 (/www/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos/includes)

Yours leaves the code intact so you can turn it back on. Nice persistence. Glad you got it solved.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed,

Thanks for taking the time to into this. It took me quite a while of searching their forum to find the right answer. I ended up removing all of the code and leaving it as 'plugins':{} to get rid of the 'menu' on the face of the player as well as the overlay at the end of the video.

It would be nice if they made this an option in the parameters instead of having to dig into the code, but at least I now know the work-around. Now the trick is to remember it for next time :)

Thanks again!

it should be an option. I'm going to suggest it to them. It only makes sense.
