How to Play flv movies

Using a Google Gadget containing a Flash Reader, we can play a *flv movie. We can use the Flash Slideshow Gadget or a Generic Flash Player. The third example show JW FLV Reader encapsulated within a Google Gadget.

The dewtube video player inside the Flash Reader

URL of the gadget :

flash_slideshow.xml

File parameter

Use the URL of the player and the URL of the flv file (both without ?attredirects=0), separated by a question mark.

http://YOURSITE/dewtube.swf?movie=http://sites.google.com/site/YOURSITE/YOURFLVFILE.flv

Using the dewtube player with a Generic Flash Player

Url of the gadget :

flash_container_w.xml

As File parameter we use the same value as above, we can add &autostart=1 to play the video when the page is loaded

http://YOURSITE/dewtube.swf?movie=http://sites.google.com/site/YOURSITE/YOURFLVFILE.flv&autostart=1

The Result (without autostart)

To display a picture in front of the Video, just insert a picture having the same name as the video, in the same directory. In my case I use couleur-vin.jpg (Color of Wine).
