Jimbo: Dude! You are full of great ideas and helpful comments. Thank you for adding some more good info to the post. I appreciate it, and I’m sure others trying to do this will appreciate it as well.

I did get the full screen button to show after I modified your code. There is a line in there that says; flashvars=\”file=$flv$exxvars which is the variable for the filename.

Even though the code says allowfullscreen=true, that does not turn on the button, that just allows it to happen.

In order to turn on the button I had to add &fullscreen=true to that piece of code, so it looks like this:

flashvars=\”file=$flv$exxvars&fullscreen=true

After I did that, the button magically appeared. I hate coding…

There are several skins on jeroenwijering.com; I’ve tried replacing the mediaplayer.swf with the new ones from the skins,, they did not work very well.

Any ideas on how to use a different skin..?

Your plan sounds great, however I’m using igames theme and can not find (within theme.php) where I need to add your code as you describe above?

I edit the file, but can not seem to find where I should paste the code.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

First off, thanks for the tip! That’s pretty cool.

Back to your question, I did not have to do anything in order for the full screen feature to work. When playing a video, I just click the “full screen” button on the embedded player and it just works.

A useful tip, if you add a JPG with the same file name as the FLV file, it will become the Poster for the Video - maybe everyone already knows this.
