@Ethan, Bro I am OK with look but the problem is when I'm using Play-list (XML File), it uses the link (location) that I gave for Preview not (info) the link that given for Download :(

This is my Play-list Example:

bc.. <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<title>Play-list Example</title>
<info>http://www.bengaltiger.ucoz.com/</info>
<tracklist>
<track>
<title>track 1</title>
<annotation>artist</annotation>
<image>http://www.site.com/image.jpg</image>
<info>http://www.anysite.com/mp3/lds_uy7/</info>
<location>http://www.site.com/track1.mp3</location>
<meta rel="type">sound</meta>
</track>
<track>
<title>track 2</title>
<annotation>artist</annotation>
<image>http://www.site.com/image.jpg</image>
<info>http://www.anysite.com/mp3/hkj-h7/</info>
<location>http://www.site.com/track2.mp3</location>
<meta rel="type">sound</meta>
</track>
</tracklist>
</playlist>

@Ethan, One more question, the 'Download Plugin' work with JW Embedder only? Or it can be embed with SWFObject 2.2 & HTML OBJECT Embedding also?

This plugin only works with the JW Embedder, as it is a JavaScript plugin.

Your link works fine, it brings me to download the mp3 file via QuickTime in my browser.

Thank you Ethan
I was looking for your replay.

This link is not a direct link 'http://www.anysite.com/mp3/hkj-h7/'
Its a link where user go for download like this->> http://www.mediafire.com/?u4jz1tojy4jq2u4

So, it shouldn't brings you to download the mp3 file via QuickTime'
It should have gone to another link that I give for download users

I want people to go to this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u4jz1tojy4jq2u4

Not in this link:
http://www.site.com/track1.mp3

To do that Plugin should go to the link that in <info> </info>
not the link that in <location> </location>

Another question : how to make it open in a new Tab or new window?

Look at the demo again – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/18559/download-plugin

There is a variable called “downloadlink”, which you need to set. ;)

Bro are you telling me to replace <info> with <downloadlink>?
I'm not getting it, the playlist that created in that Demo page is with JW Embedder code and I created a xml file with XSPF code so?
I am confused.

And what about the question 'open in a new Tab or new Window?'

But I like to keep it always show at the top.

And please tell me how to make it open in NEW window/Tab? its awful to jump in same window for download link every time for each item.

Glad you got it.

This plugin uses document.location (in JS).

var goDownload = function() {
        var item = player.getPlaylistItem();
        if(item['download.link']) {
            document.location = item['downloadlink'];
        } else if(config.link) { 
            document.location = config.link;
        } else {
            document.location = item.file;
        }
    };



To change this to be a new window, try:

var goDownload = function() {
        var item = player.getPlaylistItem();
        if(item['download.link']) {
            window.open(item['downloadlink']);
        } else if(config.link) { 
            window.open(config.link);
        } else {
            window.open(item.file);
        }
    };



I think that should work.

:) You thinking is right, its working! 'open in new window'

One lest question:
How to keep always Download Logo at the top? I mean its shows up only when we mouse over at the player or when player not playing.
But I like to keep it always show up at the top, and if possible it will be much better if we can add it into the Control bar.

Great! :)

That is the default of the “dock” icon, it will fade.

It is not possible to move this icon to the controlbar, it only works in the dock.

I can’t , because I can’t help you make / modify a plugin. We are going to add that dropdown menu in a future version anyways.

Hi,

I would like that visitors can really download the media file (the same set in <downloadlink>) directly in their computer, by this plugin.

Maybe with .php or others but I don't know if there is a solution.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Many thanks Ethan but in fact, when I click on the "download button" who appears in the dock, a new open opens and the "dowloadlink file" plays.

I would to have directly the file in my computer.

Is there a solution (by php or others...) ?

Many thanks in advance.

Here the website: http://www.hervelacroix.com/voixoff.php

player.onReady(setup);

this.resize = function(width, height) {};
