Problem: Playlist not working in new player template

Hi guys, I'm not sure what is going on here, but I just created a new playlist player based off the compact tabbed navigation 3.0 template.

 

I removed the title at the bottom and the tabs then inserted a playlist we are already using. However no videos show up in the new playlist player.

 

Our new playlist player:

Our old working playlist player:

http://leongaban.com/brightcove/kyojo.html

 

Our old and working playlist player is based off the 'Video Player with Horizontal Video List' template. Is there something wrong with the 'Compact Tabbed Navigation 3.0' template?

Please provide the BEML, this will help us figure out what's going on.

 

Also,  I really like the look of your other player ! :smileyvery-happy:

Re: Problem: Playlist not working in new player template

Here is the default BEML generated by the 'Compact Tabbed Navigation 3.0' template:

http://leongaban.com/brightcove/compact_tabbed_nav2.xml

 

But here is another problem, to make sure it wasn't any BEML edits (all I did was remove the title and tabbed nav) I created a new player using the Source temple for 'Compact Tabbed Navigation 3.0' I did not make a copy of the template this time so there is no BEML for me to edit, and it's still not working :(

 

Also here is a recent updated, I tried another playlist player with a side bar navigation, the 'Tabbed Navigation 3.0' template, and that did not work either.

 

Here is my current test page: http://leongaban.com/brightcove/main_playlist.html

 

The 2 players below that work are based off custom BEML:

I'm sorry, but I am not following you.  What exactly did you do when you are saying "all I did was remove the title and tabbed nav"?

Re: Problem: Playlist not working in new player template

I am no longer using the template where I removed the title bar (text area that appears below the playlist player).

 

I just need to find a playlist player with thumbnails and descriptions on the right hand side of the player that works :( so far I've tried 2 and they do not load any videos into them. Any suggestions would be appreciated, we are launching this today and we just need a player with thumbnails and descriptions on the right-hand side that works, no time or need to skin it right now.

 

Thanks btw for the comment on the design.

Re: Problem: Playlist not working in new player template

So far the playlist players that do not work:

 

  • Compact with Tabbed Navigation 3.0
  • Tabbed Navigation 3.0
  • Chromeless Video Player with Tabbed Playlist

 

However this playlist player did work, but does not meet our requirements, because it does not display thumbnails:

  • Widescreen with Video Text List

Re: Problem: Playlist not working in new player template

From the media module, have you assigned any playlists to this player?  I am guessing this is the issue.  Without doing this, no videos will appear.

Re: Problem: Playlist not working in new player template

AH that is it thanks!!!

 

I thought all I needed to do was just copy over this param tag: param name="@videoList" value="1619914688888"

 

But I must have done this step months ago and forgotten about it, and just used the same template over and over again.
