Multibrowser support video player based on Video For Everybody code.

Requirements ¶

Yii>=1.1

Usage ¶

You have to put in BASEURLPATH all video files in the following formats:

• mov
• swf
• mp4
• webm
• ogv
• jpg (as video poster image)

All files must to have the same name (FILENAME), differ only in their extension

<?php $this->widget('ext.evfeplayer.eVFEplayer', array(
        'filename'=>'FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION',
        'altmsg'=>'...some text...',
        'baseurl'=>'URL',
        'autoplay'=>true_or_false,
        'controls'=>true_or_false,
        'width'=>INTEGER,
        'height'=>INTEGER,
    ));?>

The rendered code will be something like:

<video width="480" height="356" poster="images/VIDEOFILENAME.png" autoplay>
        <!-- MP4 must be first for iPad! -->
        <source src="BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.mov"/><!-- Safari / iOS video    -->

        <!-- fallback to Flash: -->
        <object width="480" height="356" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.swf">
                <!-- Firefox uses the `data` attribute above, IE/Safari uses the param below -->
                <param name="movie" value="BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.swf" />
                <param name="flashvars" value="play=true&autoplay=true&file=BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.mp4" />
                <param name="play" value="true">
                <param name="autoplay" value="true">
                <!-- fallback image. note the title field below, put the title of the video there -->
                <img src="BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.png" alt="ALT MESSAGE"
                     title="ALT MESSAGE" />
        </object>
        
        <source src="BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.webm" type="video/webm" /><!-- Chrome10+, Ffx4+, Opera10.6+ -->
        <source src="BASEURL/VIDEOFILENAME.ogv" type="video/ogg" /><!-- Firefox3.6+ / Opera 10.5+ -->
</video>
