Using JPlayer in mojoPortal

Is there any documentation regarding using jPlayer within mojoPortal? It looks like the jplayer scripts are included within the Web/ClientScripts directory, so I'm guessing there is an easy-ish way of adding videos to the site.

 

Thanks

No, there isn't.

You can easily include the main script

mojoBasePage basePage = Page as mojoBasePage;
basePage.ScriptConfig.IncludejPlayer = true;

but you would have to wire up your own instance of the player and setup the videos.

The only work I have done is I made a jPlayerPanel control that can wire up jplayer for any links inside the panel that end with .mp3

I was only working on mp3 files at the time for use in WebStore for playing the teaser files if selling mp3 downloads.

The control could be evolved to support more media types or you could make your own control borrowing some code from there.

Best,

Joe

Re: Using JPlayer in mojoPortal

I know this post is a few weeks old, but I just finished an initial version of a Media Player feature for mojoPortal that implements jPlayer. I have made it open source, so feel free to use it and extend it as needed. Please also provide me with any feedback. I have a number of ideas of ways to enhance it, but right now it works for my needs. If I find that it gains an audience I will be more than willing to help keep it up to date and add new features.

All of the details are available at: http://www.doan.me/media-player.aspx

Re: Using JPlayer in mojoPortal

Hi Kerry,

Looks good! For now I've added it to the community downloads page to make it easier to find. When I get some time I will evaluate it for possible inclusion in mojoPortal.

Thanks for sharing your work with the community!

Best,

Joe

Re: Using JPlayer in mojoPortal

It's a very useful feature. I tried it on my local machine and it throws an error. I was wondering whether you can include the code behind (.cs) files in the download package. 

Thank you very much!

Re: Using JPlayer in mojoPortal

It sounds like it is not finding the XML file that helps define what jPlayer skin to utilize. Here is the code it is complaining about:

XElement skin = XElement.Load(SiteRoot + "/Doan_MediaPlayer/jPlayer210/Skins.xml").Descendants("Skin").FirstOrDefault();

Can you verify that the file it is looking for exists?

Otherwise, if you can help identify why it would not be finding that file on your local system that would be great.

Thanks!

Kerry

Re: Using JPlayer in mojoPortal

I just download your sources code, it complies and run well  when I add the first feature and play a mp3 files. 

I installed a second feature, try to add a video file and it shows an error "No Matching Audio File Extension Found", although I choose the file type is "Video". It seems "Video" type is also treated as " Audio" type. It might be a cache problem in my local machine? Anyway, I just let you know. here is the message:
