Hi ,&nbsp;

It's my first time when I'm posting a question on forum, so I hope I'm doing it in right place.

Trying to develop my first video channel plugin for&nbsp;[http://smotruonline.ru/](http://smotruonline.ru/). i'm able to play flv files but can't do this for SWF players.

I'm doing in this way.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;here is how it look in a web page.

&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp;Site Config.

&nbsp; &nbsp;location: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/SmotruOnline.bundle/Contents/Site Configurations

&nbsp; &nbsp; initialState="playing"

&nbsp; &nbsp; windowWidth="640"

&nbsp; &nbsp; windowHeight="405"

&nbsp; &nbsp; ...

&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; in Code.

&nbsp; &nbsp; def MainMenu():

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;dir = MediaContainer()

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;dir.Append(Function(WebVideoItem(VideoPlayer, title="Test", subtitle='', thumb='[http://smotruonline.ru/uploads/posts/2013-12/1388055019\_smotruonline.ru\_putiwesvia.k.rojdesvenskoy.zvezde.2012.jpg](http://smotruonline.ru/uploads/posts/2013-10/1382357526_smotruonline.ru_belyy-vorotnichok-2013.jpg)'), url='[http://whitecdn.org/player/76fb851c2e71150f8f38a1af23c55b86/player.swf](http://whitecdn.org/player/76fb851c2e71150f8f38a1af23c55b86/player.swf)'))

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;return dir

&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; def VideoPlayer(sender, url):

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return Redirect(WebVideoItem(url))

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

But unfortunately don't work.

Here is what I get in logs.

Webkit (Flash or Silverlight based channels that required a site config) is no longer supported. You probably need to dig a little bit deeper and find the source video file played back by the Flash player.

Hi Sander1,

Thanks for prompt answer.

I'm already started work on a script based on webkit to grub source file.

Is there a way to integrate it with plugin or I have to run it separately and pass a JSON for example to plugin in Resources ?

Thanks
