(Found it at tiki-admin.php?page=textarea&cookietab=2&highlight=wikiplugin_mediaplayer.) Add a media player to a page
Introduced in Tiki 3.
Go to the source code
Preferences required: wikiplugin_mediaplayer

Parameters	Accepted Values	Description	Since
`height`		Player height in px or %	10.0
`width`		Player width in px or %	10.0
`type`	url	File type for source URL, e.g. `mp4`, `pdf` or `odp`. Specify one of the supported file types when the URL of the file is missing the file extension. This is the case for File Gallery files which have a URL such as `tiki-download_file.php?fileId=4&display` or `display4` if you have Clean URLs enabled.	10.0

`mp3`		Complete URL to the media to include, which has the appropriate extension.	27.0
`src`		Complete URL to the media to include, which has the appropriate extension. If your URL doesn't have an extension, use the File type parameter below.	6.0

Note

If you are having difficulty setting the width, try setting with just the number, without 'px' or '%'.

Troubleshooting
Make sure you have enabled jQuery Media feature if you are not using mp3 or flv file (using the src param) If the player still doesn't appear, you probably got one of the plugin parameters wrong. If the player appears but won't play, you probably got the wrong URL to the file.

Examples

MP3 Examples

For files in the file gallery:

Copy to clipboard

{mediaplayer mp3="display10"}
{mediaplayer mp3="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=389"}

Using actual file path:

Copy to clipboard

{mediaplayer mp3="http://usuaris.tinet.org/mikell/EntrevistaRadio4.mp3"}
{mediaplayer mp3="http://usuaris.tinet.org/mikell/EntrevistaRadio4.mp3", style="mini"}
{mediaplayer mp3="/test.mp3", loop="1"}

Tips

For files uploaded to the file gallery but stored on the server, the actual file path can also be used. Tiki converts file names to hash values for storage on the server - this name can be found in the database.

And if the mp3 player does not show up in your tiki site, try disabling the "GZip output" feature (feature_obzip) in the Control Panels > Performance ( tiki-admin.php?page=performance ).

Example with the src param (jQuery Media)

With jQuery#Media, so that more media formats are supported once you use the param "url" in the plugin helper ("src" in the code), including pdf among others. The value in the src parameter must end with a file extension.

Note: You need to enable "Use PDF.js" in the Settings, Control panels, File Galleries, Enhancements tab to use the plugin to display a PDF document from your File galleries.

This code:

Copy to clipboard

{mediaplayer src="https://branding.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=37&page=Slideshow" width="100%" height="600" type="pdf"}

Would produce this PDF in the player

Alternatives to display PDFs.
Wiki Plugin PluginWebDocViewer is similar.

If you run into problems with one, it's nice to have a second option to try.

WebM (VP8 codec)

This code:

Copy to clipboard

{mediaplayer src="tiki-download_file.php?fileId=465&display=y" type="webm"}

Would produce something like:

WebM: an open web media project

The WebM Project is dedicated to developing a high-quality, open video format for the web that's freely available to everyone.

File gallery file in a blog post

An example for a successful use of the maxi Mediaplayer in a blog post looks like this (only caveat is to have access rights for the relevant user group by setting tiki_p_download_files to yes - sometimes, a restart of the browser seems to be necessary to make those rights work...)

Copy to clipboard

{mediaplayer mp3="http://example.com/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=1&showstop=1&showinfo=1&showvolume=1" style="maxi"}

PDF from a Tiki file gallery on a Wiki page

This also works for a pdf file in a file gallery beginning in version 10
Note that you can use the PDF parameters by adding them to the URL as shown in the example below.
It is using a Tiki with SefURL enable.

With the fit view parameter

Copy to clipboard

{mediaplayer src="display1134#view=fit" type="pdf”}

Would produce something like:

And it displays the PDF file with the ID 1134. You will need ViewerJS
Starting in Tiki19, you can get PDF.js viewer via Packages

An alternative is to use PluginWebDocViewer to display PDFs. (May display better on some smart phones and tablets.)

If you prefer the Flash player you can download the player itself (an .swf file) from http://flash-mp3-player.net or http://flv-player.net or http://code.google.com/p/mp3player or http://code.google.com/p/flvplayer/. If you do, you will need to edit the plugin (at lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_mediaplayer.php) and change the default source in the plugin code or add it as a "where" parameter in that instance of the plugin.
