usanetwork.com site config

Howdy all. I am having trouble with the site config for my last plugin of the weekend, www.usanetworks.com. The more specific type of url I am working on is



http://www.usanetwork.com/series/royalpains/video/fullep/index.html?id=1232185





my site config so far is below. I am getting both ad and main show audio but not so much with the video. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br />
<site site="http://www.usanetwork.com"<br />
	    plugin="http://video.nbcuni.com/PlayerConfig/usa/usa_outlet.swf"<br />
			initialState="playing"<br />
			version="1.0"><br />
	<br />
	<br />
	<crop x="0" y="0" width="669" height="407" /><br />
	<br />
	<seekbar type="simple"><br />
		<start x="0" y="378" /><br />
		<end   x="670" y="378" /><br />
		<played><br />
				<color rgb="667f99" /><br />
		</played><br />
	</seekbar><br />
	<br />
	<!-- PLAYING --><br />

Hi



pretty sure that usually means the plugin url isn’t right. It’s also not obvious from the page content. Try making it less specific with something like ‘http://video.nbcuni.com/.*’ ?

I thought that the player may be wrong also, and I hve tried every swf on the page. However, after looking at the player, I am sure it is the right one. It has a unique look. One of the things I am noticing is that when i load PMS with the woof tag, the plugin does not seem to be loading a frame that has the same dimensions as what I have measured the player to be, or anything close for that matter.



Is there some way to make PMS attach to a certain player?

Hi!

I think usa_outlet.swf is being loaded from inside another swf file and that that’s the reason why PMS doesn’t “see” this file. I’m not in the US, so I’m geoblocked and can’t test it to be sure, but I think the correct swf to use is


http://www.usanetwork.com/outlet/rewind_as3.swf


If I paste all the flashvars in the url like this:

http://www.usanetwork.com/outlet/rewind_as3.swf?configUrl=http://video.nbcuni.com/PlayerConfig/usa/feature_player_config.xml&outletLoader=http://video.nbcuni.com/outlet/framework/FrameworkLoader.swf&frameworkURL=http://video.nbcuni.com/outlet/framework/Outlet_IMPL.swf&cssURL=styles.css&companionURL=escape_fullep.gif&companionLink=http://www.usanetwork.com/series/royalpains/games/hamptonsescape/&rssURL=http://video.usanetwork.com/player/feeds/?level=1096181&firstClipId=1232185

it looks like something is starting to load (but as I’m geoblocked I only see the USA network logo).

I get the same logo as you do, but I also get audio for the episode. How did you come about combining all of those things? Was there some instructions in one of the js files?

I just tried Sander's suggestion, it works.
change your site config to use:


http://www.usanetwork.com/outlet/rewind_as3.swf


Nice work Sander.

I'm at work now, so I'll try it when I get home and let you know. But if it works expect a syfy plugin soon too since they use the same player. Also saw your posts dbl a. Great job! I am looking to go down the list of top tv websites on google's list.

Thanks for the help. that player works! I released the plugins in the other forum.

Hey hrcolb0!


That's the standard way to input variables (the 'flashvars') into a Flash application (for example for when you're not embedding the swf in an HTML page).
