I want to do X with the audio/video player. How can I?
Both our video and our audio players have several customizable options that can be used to tweak the appearance and functionality of the players. These options are available through flashvars. Flashvars can be added on a per episode basis, or applied to all podcasts. To add these flashvars to the audio player site wide, you need to visit Settings > Podcasting > Audio Player Options > Player Flashvars. To add these flashvars to the video player site wide, you need to add them to Settings > Podcasting > VIdeo Player Options > Player Flashvars. An example syntax for something that would be added in the text box would be:
To add those two flashvars on a per file basis, you need to modify the [podcast] tag in your post. The syntax for that would be:
Some of the options available to the audio player include:
- autostart - if yes, player starts automatically
- titles - overrides ID3 information to show the episode title in the player
- buffer - buffering time in seconds
- transparentpagebg - if yes, the player background is transparent (matches the page background)
- width - width of the player. e.g. 290 (290 pixels) or 100%

Some of the flashvars available to the video player include:
- image - location of a preview image; shown in display and playlist.
- title - title of the video, shown in the display or playlist.
- volume - startup volume of the player. Can be 0 to 100. Is saved in a cookie.
- logo - location of an external jpg, png or gif image to show in a corner of the display. With the default skin, this is top-right, but every skin can freely place the logo.
- backcolor - background color of the controlbar and playlist. This is white with the default skin.
