Does anyone know how to get the player on this page http://www.exeterweather.com/wxabout.php to stop the shrinking and expanding as the page is scrolled up and down. I copied this code from one of the users in this forum.

[/color]I’ve been able to customize the controls etc. But I can’t find an answer in a search to get rid of the shrinking/expanding.
It doesn’t do that with me - with firefox anyway
mmmm…I now see what you mean…prior to accepting the add-on from Microsoft it all worked fine…subsequent to accepting the add-on it behaved as you described, for the size of the media player as it started to go off/on page…this was in IE8…so it has to be something to do with the add-on
I copied the code from windy’s site. I thought it was kind of a clever feature at first. If you can get your video to scroll completely off the page, it shrinks down to nothing. Maybe there’s another version player I can use for the swf’? That will work in FF also?
I use the FLV files and a flash program.

more control and all the videos are not running at once.

I like your setup. Wish I knew enough about this to get the same playback quality. I found another player and I’m now uploading flv’s. I don’t see a difference in quality. When I try to make the video’s bigger, WD’s stellar moviemaker won’t make a complete alldayvideo. I’m at my wits end with this. But at least I was able to change the player, get rid of that hokey re-size, and now have stop/play function.
There are a range of different slideshows on the following Page with demo pages and download links.

If you want thumbnail files for your photos there are scripts on the internet to do it in PHP.
For thumbnails of the first image in a video files I use FFMpeg (windows binary version) and upload the file as a small JPEG’s.
You do not have to produce slideshows of photos, you could do graphs, e.g. you could do a slide show of your all time record files or specific graphs.
For Videos; WD uploads hourly and day so far, but I had trouble producing yesterday. In the end I had a program to copy day so far to yesterday.flv and upload it at the end of the day. I created the thumbnails with FFMpeg and uploaded then.
The download zip files have help files.
If there is a type of slideshow you have seen and would like me to try to produce for you, let me know

Hi Dave,
It’s a very nice slideshow. I make an attempt on my site, but my videos have a bigger size.
I guess that I need to modify the file VideoGallery.swf
Is this true? How can this be done?
my videos are 640x480

Andretti,
I have a request to make all the component colors; background, tracker bar, banner text and thumbnails, configurable in the XML file and I have been work on this this all afternoon. I will take a look at resizing next. My JPEGS are 640 x 480 so I must have set something in WD to make them smaller !
Regards, Dave.
Andretti,
I now have two versions of the video slide shows.
The normal (320 x 240) version which now has color configuration from within the XML file.
I have added a (640 x 480) version with the same color configuration.
find the download options at http://www.wraxall-weather.co.uk/demo/Slidedemo.html
All the different slideshows on this page are free, normal they sale for fee on commercial websites.
If you have an idea for a slide show you would like me to construct for you, let me know
All the best. Dave
Hi Dave
I thank you very much for your help and sharing this script. I really like it.
But now I see that the quality of my films in .flv format is of lower quality than. wmv, which so far I’m using.
eg.:
http://www.andretti.pl/videolastday.flv
http://www.andretti.pl/videolastday.wmv
I tried to use the script with .wmv files, but I guess it does not have the right to work 
I’ve got to think about what to do in this situation.
I must also determine why WD does not create files yesterday.*
thank you
Andretti
Andretti,
I found that WD does not create yesterday.flv and I ask a while back why this is?
I found if you copy videolastday.flv to yesterday.flv at the end of the day then upload it you get the same final result, but I am sure Brian can fix this along with the quality issues.
The program is an Adobe Flash program and only accepts FLV files. Adobe does provide an encode but you do not want to be messing with that.
Dave
Dave,
This morning I noticed that the WD, however, created the file yesterday.flv
I’m not sure what affects it, but I did like this:
Possibly because it worked.
I am running version 10.37Q b33 on Win XP
Maybe this information is useful 
You’re right, I can not improve the code for Adobe Flash to work with other files 
Andretti
Well I am using 10.37Q b30 and so far I have been unable to create a Yesterday.FLV file.
At the moment I have a batch job to copy videolastday.FLV to Yesterday.FLV at the end of the day to get around the problem.
Any suggestions on how to get WD to create this file.
Regards, Dave
make sure you are using the latest version (full install to get the latest moviemaker program)
at least
before we cam move forward with help
Brian,
I have upgraded to the latest version Build 34 and gone from webcamcapture 9.7 to 9.92. I will let you know if I get a yesterday.FLV file.
Regards, Dave
Brian,
I upgraded to the latest version but I am still not getting the video file “yesterday.flv”, I have to create it by running a batch job to copy videolastday.flv at the end of the day.
Attached is my webcam image setting. Thanks in advance Dave.
Hi!
I think you should check the MP4 section too.

Hi!
It was a nice Gallery. Wondering what part of VideoGallery.html I should use to wear it on its own page.
Hi There,
You can use the swfobject program that will install flash if the viewer does not have it (WDL uses it), or you can edit the following lines from VideoGallery.html file.
the javascript from line 5 - 280 goes in the of your new html file.
the javascript from line 289 - line 312 goes in your along with lines 313 to 319.
If you want to put the gallery in a of a table then just put lines 289 to 319 between the items of your table.
All the Best Dave
