hr> hey everyone i want to add a video and play it using ruby on rails .
hr> how can i do it. can anyone help me plzz..
hr> Thanks in advance
After struggling with this for several days, I have finally been able to get
some videos to play in Rails 3.1.2. There may be other ways of playing videos
and if there are I''d sure like to hear about
it.
Here is some preliminary documentation. I''m gonna write up more when I
get all the kinks out.
The following instructions are for Rails 3.1.2
1) Download from here:
http://rubydoc.info/gems/jw_player_helper/0.0.1/file/README.markdown#
2) Add
gem ''jw_player_helper''
to your Gemfile
3) Do
bundle install
or
bundle install --deployment
depending on your needs.
4) Assuming that you are using sprockets (which seems to be the recommended
default), make sure that swfobject.js is accessible from your assets.
You can check if swfobject.js is accessible by displaying
Rails.application.config.assets.paths.
Rails.application.config.assets.paths is an array of fully qualified
directory names where assets can be found. Make sure that swfobject.js is in
one of the directories and not in a subdirectory
of one of these directories.
5) Place your video(s) in a directory underneath public. I chose a directory
named "videos".
= video_player( {:file => ''videos/my_video.flv''},
{:width => ''100%''} )
Let me know if you get videos to work and if this sketch of documentation needs
to be beefed up.
Oh, this sketch is due to a frustrating 5 days of trying to get videos to play
on 3.1.2. I hope it takes you a lot less time.

Hey, According to my knowledge you can play the video url using a iframe or using Y_tube gem...

Sorry to be harsh, but if you don''t know how to code to play videos, you probably ought to forget about RoR for a bit and start with learning front-end coding and playback mechanisms. Once you have some solid tools built up, you can then bring it back into RoR and use Ruby to draw your video players and source files dynamically. There are plenty of good places to start, depending on your needs: http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody http://sandbox.thewikies.com/vfe-generator/ http://flowplayer.org http://videojs.com or simply youtube.com - embedding videos. You need to know the difference between front-end and back-end tools (client side and server side). Realizing that RoR will ultimately deliver front-end code to the user in some form or another On Dec 28, 3:55 am, honey ruby <emailtohoneyr...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> hey everyone i want to add a video and play it using ruby on rails . > how can i do it. can anyone help me plzz.. > > Thanks in advance-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Some times it''s nice to know if there is a defacto standard - the current HTML5 generation of players are still pretty buggy. The best I''ve used is mediaelementjs, there is a rails gem here: https://github.com/tobsch/mediaelement_rails On Dec 29, 8:16 am, Ben Eggett <benegg...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Sorry to be harsh, but if you don''t know how to code to play videos, > you probably ought to forget about RoR for a bit and start with > learning front-end coding and playback mechanisms.

This playing a video is a new one for me so i am learning it. if u don''t know how play a video it does not mean you don''t know ROR . New things has to learned only by researching and in that process only i posted it.

Hi Ralph Shnelvar I followed your steps for using jw_player_helper. I got the jw player on my view but somehow it does not play any video. I have put up the video under public/videos .When click on play, it shows no-access or file not found at videos/3.mp4 . What I could be missing?
