Joomla! 1.5 - 'Experience the Freedom'!. It has never been easier to create your own dynamic Web site. Manage all your content from the best CMS admin interface and in virtually any language you speak.
The following paragraphs are still somewhat valid. We're still working on the "moseasymedia" -> "embedia" transition.
As you will see in the demo pages, moseasymedia and embedia are pretty much the same thing. Download it, and give it a try!
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.
Emdedding Flash SWF
There you have a very nice flash video, and want to display it in full effect.
We can also embed the same file using JW Media Player. Did you notice a logo on the top-left ? How abot the title at the bottom? And did you notice the info button (>) next to the title, which takes you to another site?
In the default configuration, the mp3 files are assigned to JW MP3 Player. Here, we are forcing Windows Media Player to handle the mp3's for this instantance. In this example, we do not want our song autostart (autostart=0) and we want a tiny player, therefore we override the width.
Say, you put together a nice playlist of your songs, but many visitors don't like to get stuck on the page for 1 hour to listen to an entire album. What do you do? popup=window can be the answer !
The XSPF Playlist used above. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/"> <!-- title of the playlist --> <title>Some Music</title> <!-- name of the author --> <creator>Ozgur Cem Sen</creator> <!-- homepage of the author --> <info>http://www.ocszone.com</info> <trackList> <track> <location> http://www.ocszone.com/streaming/audios/TheDivaDance.mp3</location> <!-- artist or band name --> <creator>Eric Serra</creator> <!-- album title --> <album>5th Element Sound Track</album> <!-- name of the song --> <title>The Diva Dance</title> <!-- comment on the song --> <annotation>Amazing</annotation> <!-- album art --> <image>http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41E40GCRPBL._AA240_.jpg</image> </track>

"MediaSharingWebsitesUsing" parameter in the embedia mambot configuration can come in handy when you want to associate media from certain domains to certain players. Simply put in the domain in that box, and embedia will try to instantiate that player for the media to be embedded from those domains.
