moseasymedia 2.0.1

Here comes moseasymedia 2.0 with some pretty cool features.

moseasymedia supports media plugins and media players that support wmv, wma, divx, midi, avi, mpg, mpeg, asf, asx, swf, flv, dcr, dir, mov, mp4, ram, rv, rpm, ra, mp3, playlist files (RSS, Atom, XSPF) extensions to name a few.That pretty much covers all the media formats that exist today. Under the circumstances when the media type cannot be determined from the extension, moseasymedia tries to match the media's host domain with it's supported players.


moseasymedia 2.0 supports regular window popups for videos, and a Thickbox window. This way, you can allow your visitors watch the videos without all the obstrusive content around them, or perhaps popup the music in a seperate popup window and let your visitors keep browsing on your site. You can also add a mediathumbnail image on the main page, and a link beneath it to say something in the lines of "click here to watch".

moseasymedia is very customizable, very flexible and very simple. Almost all the object/param/emded tags can be customizable for each supported player, and you don't even need to know anything about them. We already set some defaults for you. You may choose to change them globally in the Mambot/Plugin configuration, or override a few of those params per each file you're embedding.

With the 2.0 release moseasymedia introduced a few more parameters to handle the popups.
"popup (=none, =window, =thickbox)", "popupwidth", "popupheight", "popuptoolbar", "popupmenubar", "popupscrollbars", "popupmediathumbnail".

See how they're used in the next pages. And take a look at the documenation on http://wiki.brilaps.com

moseasymedia supports the following players out of the box.

• Windows Media Player
• Flash
• Shockwave
• Quicktime
• Real Player
• DivX
• JW FLV Player
• JW Media Player
• JW MP3 Player
• XSPF Web Player Extended & Slim

The following pages will demonstrate the flexibility of moseasymedia. In almost all cases you can get away with a simple { moseasymedia media=somesong.mp3} tag, and that's all.

Notes and Remarks:

• You may not be able to view some of the demo pages, possibly because of missing plugin or codec.
• The space between the "{" and "moseasymedia media=.........." is put in there to demostrate the moseasymedia tag to the reader. The actual video embedding tag must not have it.
• In our site wide configuration, the popups are set to "thickbox", therefore anytime we want to show the media on the actual page, we use popup=none in the moseasymedia tag.
• I am rapidly growing tired of those demo videos myself. If you have something interesting (nothing PG or R rated please) and would like us to include in those pages, please shoot me a message and save me from my demo-page misery : ))
• In this demo site, we set the popup windows default to "thickbox". Therefore, we use a few popup=none attributes in the moseasymedia tags. If you set the default setting to none, you won't need to add those.
