WriterError_thumb2 I got this error today.  The fix is simple:

If you have multiple blogs configured, in the post window, you can switch to another blog, and then back to the blog you want and that will cause the Writer to drop the post ID information so you can re-publish as a new post. VIA

FLV Media Player for for BlogEngine.NET

Friday, 29 February 2008 10:30

Notes

Replaces the previous FLV Player for BlogEngine.NET. I need some help in defining all of the playable formats.  Right now I have flv, mp3, xml and asp (for playlists). With all of the great embedded players you can now play just about any media file you need to. You can customize how you want the player to display very easily by editing mediaplayer.cs. I coded it for my layout with a smaller width than you may need.

Acknowledgments

A copy with minor adjustments of the great MP3 Player plugin.

Features

Plays flv, mp3 and xml playlist files in an embedded player using JW FLV Media Player.

Notes

  • Plays any file type that JW FLV Player supports.
  • You can customize every aspect of the player by editing mediaplayer.cs
  • By default the player size is 320x240 and it doesn't autoplay

Installation

  1. Download the zip.
  2. Unzip using any archive manager. At the top of unzipped package you should have two items: "mediaplayer" folder and "mediaplayer.cs" file.
  3. Copy mediaplayer.cs into your BlogEngine extensions directory (/App_Code/Extensions).
  4. Copy "mediaplayer" folder with all it content into root of your BlogEngine application - this is where you'll upload your media files for embedding also.  Make sure ASP.NET has at least read permissions on this folder. (you can delete the test files after you verify it works - they're not needed)

Using

  1. Create a blog post. Add this line anywhere in the post: [ mediaplayer:test.flv ] (without the spaces)
  2. You should see something like the embedded player below

Examples

Single FLV

Code: [ mediaplayer:test.flv ]

Single MP3

Code: [ mediaplayer:test.mp3 ]

XML Playlist

Code: [ mediaplayer:http://mirror.video.blip.tv/hot-shows.xml ]

Essential Free Software - Audio and Video

Wednesday, 15 November 2006 18:54

This is some of the software I use on an almost daily basis for my audio and video needs.

Winamp

The granddaddy of all audio players. Winamp plays almost every file type and has a wide array of plugins to extent its functionality. The most important plugin, for me anyway, is Titlebar which displays the title and time code of the currently playing track in the title bar of the window that has the focus. Even my work playlist has almost 10,000 songs so this is a must.

With the Shiny Classic Skin

Media Player Classic

Tiny size and plays anything (based mostly on the codecs you have installed - see below). Alt+Enter brings the window to full screen and playback is never choppy.

DVD Shrink (+ tutorial)

Extremely simple for backing up DVD's and also combining different video files from different DVD's.

DVD Decrypter (+ tutorial)

The Gold Standard in DVD ripping (and burning ISO DVD files).

K-Lite Codec Pack

I installed the "Full" version: K-Lite Codec Pack 2.72 Full (18.2 MB). K-Lite has any codec you'll need, audio and video, for playing/converting files found on the net. Be sure and install DirectVobSub also b/c it's needed for subtitles to show up in Media Player Classic.

AVIcodec

This is a wonderful utility that enables you to right-click any file (or folder) and display information related to those multimedia files including if you have the necessary codec required and if not, a download link to that codec. It also has a handy copy to clipboard feature that's copies all of the information for easy pasting into a forum post or email. It includes all of the essential information you need about the file, audio or video.

ID3-TagIT - THE ID3-Tag-Editor

This is important if you have a lot of MP3 files. It does ID3 Tag Versions 1.0+ and has some handy features like generating file names based on the tags and vice versa.

dBpowerAMP Music Converter

This is great for converting audio files to all of the important formats via a handy right-click menu. There are extensive codecs and extensions like the Audio CD Input which rips audio CD's.
