Use:bc.. <duration>5</duration>
in each track of your playlist (XSPF format).

See:

*http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats#Playlistformats*

for the other playlist formats.

Hi,

Thanks for that now I need to make the playlist loop through each image for 5 seconds.

Do you know the javascript to tell the player to loop through the playlist.

The repeat flashvar will repeat the playlist.

Hi,

Thanks for that......I have looked at the vars and at present my playlist only plays the first image for 5 seconds then stops it does not move to the next image in the playlist.

Have you got any idea what would make the playlist play the first image and then stop?

You need to set *repeat=list* to play the list once or *repeat=always* to continuously loop the list.

Hi,

Now that I got the playlist working with repeat=list I noticed that when I go full screen the player control bar is shown for about 1 sec then disappears for each image.

Is there a way to hide the control bar when in full screen?

It's shown so the user knows that it is there.

Just like the Adobe "ESC" message.

You could try specifying controlbar=none, but it might still briefly appear when you switch to fullscreen mode.

Hi,

I tried the controlbar=none, does not get rid of control bar in fullscreen mode.

Is there a way of either:

1. Having a playlist in image rotator

or

2. Modifying the code in jwplayer to NOT display the control bar on initial fullscreen mode only when mouse is moved.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm also implementing the slideshow with JW Player. It works just fine in FireFox, IE7 and IE8. But I have a flashplayer error in Chrome and Opera.

Error: Error #2029: This URLStream object does not have a stream opened.

I used JWplayer 4.3 and 4.4 to test against this error. Can you give me an idea of how can I resolve this?

Thanks
