1.3. Administration (JW FLV Player)

This section is only important if you want to show  any flv or mp3 file using the JW FLV Player!

The FLV Player is highly configurable and there are 2 possibles where you can do this:

  1. Configure the FLV Player directly inside the content element using the field “Alternative text”Just add all properties comma separated in the text field (each line stands for one file of the content element).

  2. Use the constant editor to configure all videos on your website or all videos of a part of the page tree.

Both ways follow the same syntax which is explained in the reference

Reference

These are all possible properties to configure the FLV player inside the content element “text with images”. Most of the description has been taken from the website of the developer.
