Drupal: integrate my own flv player (with CCK Video module)

Question

What's the best way to integrate my flv player in drupal ? Using SWF tools ?

In case I use SWF tools, should I somehow pass the flv video path to the player, right ? Is there any documentation about this ?

thanks

Answer 1

Have you searched the projects on Drupal.org? There are quite many projects there regarding video players, flash etc. Take a look at the usage statistics there to get a grip on which solutions are used the most.

If you want to use CCK what you need to do is make a field formatter. This is basically a theming function for CCK fields.

I have written a blog post about creating a field formatter for CCK. It's not a hard thing to do but it's hard to find documentation about it. Your case is probably going to be a bit more tricky since you will need to add js. You should make a utility function for that to keep track so you don't add the js several times.
