A quick reminder on how to use the media tag...

How to use our media player

The tag without options:

[media]url_of_the_file[ /MEDIA]

ex.

[media]http://server/file.mp3[ /MEDIA]

Shown as a mp3 player (Use the flash mp3 player by default).

Tag with options:

[media=width,height,autostart,extension]url_of_the_file[ /MEDIA]
[media=width,height,autostart]url_of_the_file[ /MEDIA]
[media=width,height]url_of_the_file[ /MEDIA]

ex.

[media=100,200,yes,rm]http://server/file.mp3[ /MEDIA]

It will use the real player to play the file.mp3, the object is 100px width, 200px height, and it will autostart.

[media=150,250,0]http://server/file.swf[ /MEDIA]

It will use the flash player to play the file.swf, the object is 150px width, 250px height, and it'll NOT autostart.

[media=211,421]http://server/file.pdf[ /MEDIA]

It will post the pdf object on the page, the object is 211px width, 421px height.

Other Rule:

1.WIDTH and HEIGHT are both required if you want to use options
2.Available values for the AUTOSTART option: 1, true & yes.
3.Separate the options with commas, don't add quotes.

An example of linking to a clip on ifilm.com (a website full of music videos and film trailers)...

eg: [ media]http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2684324[ /media]

[media]http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2684324[/media]

[Dr Bunsen]

Also you no longer need to worry about specifiying the clip size or whether it should start automatically. It defaults to 640*480 and won't play until you start it...
