Question

I am using flow player in my site to view the videos , Now on the index view i have all the videos . but to show that video i have made remote_link to open it on the same page

I got the video on the page too , but it is not displaying , i can even save the video by clicking it , but i cant see the player at all my code is

controller

@video = Upload.find_by_id(params[:id])
render :update do |page|
  page[:"div_video_#{@video.id}"].innerHTML = render :partial => "display_video"
  page[:"div_video_#{@video.id}"].show
end

Waht i want is to dispaly the video by ajax call from controller , please help me?

Answer 1

The problem is that the flowplayer function has already been initialized on the page, and so won't affect any new html you put into it, you'll need to recall the flowplayer function after the page has been updated, something like this:

@video = Upload.find_by_id(params[:id])
render :update do |page|
  page[:"div_video_#{@video.id}"].innerHTML = render :partial => "display_video"
  page.flowplayer("player", "path/to/the/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf")
  page[:"div_video_#{@video.id}"].show
end
