Hi,
thank's for you module.
I spent 2 hours to try to install a playlist view...
As I get no video in the player , and compatibility problems, I have just install a new drupal with just the modules needed.
and it's works at the first try...
I have just tested before the module video, which is very powerfull, but....there's no playlist possibility, and the maintener told my that it can't works with your module...
So My view is working BUT :
there's no possibility to do like classic's playlist : you want to watch, you click and the video is started in the Global: MediaFront Player?

You said in the video, it was in your plan, can you tell me more, because i need this functionality.
Best Regards,
And thank you for your work.

on this presentation :
http://mediafront.org/osmplayer/presentations.html#.T9css9UthrI
you use a module version "master" that I find here :
http://drupalcode.org/project/mediafront.git/shortlog/refs/heads/master
This version works, and that's the only one which as the block : media player (show in the video )

Can you just tell me what we need to put on the image link of the view to interact with the player ?
Regards,

Hi. So what it sounds like you want here is to have a view where there is a grid of images. When you click on the images, you want to throw that video into the media player and have it play, right? The developer of MediaFront does know that this is a feature some people want, but is unsure if doing that by default is the best way to go. See this video for a discussion on it: http://mediafront.org/osmplayer/advanced_mediafront.html#.T9p607VFnrc. Edit: See the Basic Playlists video.

If you are having problems setting up MediaFront, I recommend looking at the documentation at http://drupal.org/node/1563486 which is a step-by-step guide of the first video you linked.

If you just want a basic playlist and have not been successful in creating one, then follow the documentation. The videos on mediafront.org use the MediaFront module, so they are visual examples of how you can display media in a view using MediaFront.

And no need to bump things up.

This has been fixed in the latest DEV version as of June 22nd. Here is all you need to do.

  • Within your grid view administration, edit the field you would like to dynamically link to the Media Player.
  • Now within the MediaFront Settings of this field, you will see a new setting called "Link to Player". Click this and save the field and view.

That should make this dynamically load that row into the media player. Please let me know if this works for you guys.

Thanks,

Travis.

Travis,

I am trying to set up a view that links to the player. I am using DEV and I do have the button. It works for my Title field, but not my image field.

If I don't have the Image "Linked to Content" or "File" then a hyperlink will not appear, but the Link to Player does not work. If I disable the link on the Image (set it to none), then I do not have a hyperlink.

Any ideas?

And - btw -- Merry Christmas

Does this only work on grid view, or I can use any view format?
