I need a simple FLV player
From my research I figured I need a .swf file ("?player?") that will play .flv files.
I am in desperate need of a clean .flv player that I can adjust background color and dimensions.
All of my searching has led me to dead ends or players that have watermarks.
Any direction would be gravely appreciated !
TIA

Cheers Rocky,
Just for the knowledge base, my site has no problems linking to the flvplayer.swf file. But I've noticed that some of the free sites don't link to the file even though it's on a directory in their own site. So to get around this I just place the player on another site and link to it. Not sure why the free sites don't link to the player -- but I tried a couple.

Does anyone know where I can download a great widescreen video player on web pages like this?

No ... I would like to play a video which is hosted on our server and not on YouTube.
hmm
pays to read the link I posted.

I read your post and it requires the video to be posted on YouTube.
<object width="425" height="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P3PDLsJQcGI&hl=en&fs=1&fmt=22 ></param><param name= allowFullScreen value= true ></param><param name= allowscriptaccess value= always ></param><embed src= http://www.youtube.com/v/P3PDLsJQcGI&hl=en&fs=1
This means my video will have Google Ads on it, which I don't want.

ok fair enough, I had hoped the other suggestions gave you the key like changing the aspect ratio they have used the youtube player in their own blog site>>

Maybe I was not really clear and misunderstood your added question, all you said was>>widescreen video player on web pages like this?<< for flash only?
so I'll end this with these:
MPC and VLC will play in wide screen and supports flash as well

I know others have used the youtube api to imbed it in their web site but I think that's where I missunderstood you, you wish to have this on a server not a web site
so finally
The YouTube APIs and Tools let you bring the YouTube experience to your webpage, application,

YouTube JavaScript Player API Reference

if that does not help simply ask a new question in flash zones as this question is really closed now

Ok thank you Merete.
Hey Rocky,
Try Flowplayer, You'll notice the aspect ratio is aprox 16:9, so it's widescreen. It's also free. Sure it doesn't look as big as the link you posted, but I'm pretty sure if you just mess with the screen resolution it will accomodate the larger size. The two main embed players seem to be JW and Flowplayer.
