Hi! I'd like to shadowbox a video at the following location:

http://avatarepcmedia.com/bottledconsciousness

Embed code is:

<embed src="http://avatarepcmedia.com/video/flvplayer.swf" width="480" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="&displayheight=360
file=http://avatarepcmedia.com/video/podcast/bottledconsciousness.m4v&height=360&image=http://avatarepcmedia.com/video/covers/cover_bottledconsciousness.jpg" />


What would my code look like?

Thank you!
Dameon
Best Wishes,

<a href="http://avatarepcmedia.com/video/podcast/bottledconsciousness.m4v"
  rel="shadowbox;player=flv;width=480;height=360;options={flashVars:{image:'http://avatarepcmedia.com/video/covers/cover_bottledconsciousness.jpg'},flashParams:{allowfullscreen:true, allowscriptaccess:'always'}}">Link</a>

If you have the latest version of Shadowbox then you may not need to specify player=flv;.

Thanks for your reply Wizzud,

I tried it but it's not working yet. Here's the page online:

http://www.gracefulbliss.com/video/test.html

Click the "Bottled Consciousness" image.

What's my page heading supposed to look like?
I am using the latest release.

Here's my heading:

<!--Shadowbox-->
<link href="../scripts/shadowbox-build-3.0rc1/shadowbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/shadowbox-build-3.0rc1/shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Shadowbox.init({
    language: 'en',
    players:  ['img', 'html', 'iframe', 'qt', 'wmp', 'swf', 'flv']
});
</script>
<!--Shadowbox-->


Thanks for the help.
Best Wishes,

You either haven't got the JW FLV Player, or Shadowbox can't find it ([shadowbox folder]/libraries/mediaplayer/player.swf).
See How do I use the JW FLV player to play Flash video? on the FAQs page.

Thanks again Wizzud! That was it. Working now. I didn't know about the downloading the player separately.

Just out of curiosity, What other file types are there that I might have to download a player or viewer for?
