Okay I’ve gotten a new plugin called ‘Cool Player’ installed. Apparently it allows streaming of all sorts of media easily. Let’s test it out!
1 2 Loading...Edit continue: OK it works damn nicely for SWF files I see! But have to remember to keep the width within 500 pixels, preferably 480 pixels for the above effect or it’ll protrude to the sidebar area.
Loading...Next thing to try out is video files but that’ll be for another day. So how do you use this cool plugin?
Basically this is the code/tag/whatever you need to understand:
As you can see, you specify the parameters of the CoolPlayer tag and tag it to media links. According to the author it supports ALL formats. Well almost. If you separate media links by separating into different lines the plugin will stack them and allow choosing of specific media to play as shown above. I don’t know what I’m talking so it just means you put two links like I’ve demonstrated and there’ll be two options on top of the player.
To use this you’ll have to disable the pesky ‘Visual Editor’ which removes tags it can’t recognise. Which means you’ll have to post blogs RAW in HTML. That isn’t so hard for us otakus yeah? To disable Visual Editor go to ‘Users’ and under your profile area there should be an option for you to disable it.
For the player above you can see that it displays the filename of the media you linked. If you want a custom name to link to the media you could use the ‘a href’ tag. It’ll automatically detect the href link to link as media and the tagged words as use for caption. Don’t understand what I mean then too bad.
That’s all for updates.

Well, it is an example for the coolplayer plugin. Which is giving a lot of problems now with certain number of JPEG links. Dammit.
