feature details
CineSound AV is the most complete multimedia rendering package available for osCommerce shopping carts. Its core functionality allows your video and audio files to be experienced by the largest possible number of visitors to your osCommerce site by checking which multimedia player plugins are available on their browsers and supplying the appropriate embedded code for those players to render your audio or video content.
You can upload separate files for each plugin to play and set common playback behaviours such as autostart, loop, show controls and hide on a per-clip basis. It is also possible to set plugin-specific behaviours for finer-grained control over playback as well as add captions above or below each audio or video clip.
New features include embedding YouTube content anywhere in your store simply by entering the URL of the YouTube page where the content appears. Also, you can now use standardized playback control buttons with Flash, QuickTime and Real players so that there is a uniform look and feel to the buttons across different players. Furthermore, you can replace the default standard Cinesound buttons with your own, ensuring that whichever player you use, it will blend in seamlessly with the look and feel of your webpages.
With CineSound Audio and Video for osCommerce, you have complete freedom to place your audio or video clips anywhere in your osCommerce store using the Position Manager, and determine groups of pages where the clip will play using the unique, intuitive and SEO-friendly URL substring system.
A context-sensitive online user guide is accessible from several points in the CineSound Audio and Video control panel, and several channels of support include a high-priority online support forum (responses within 6 hours) and support email ensuring that your osCommerce video or audio content works flawlessly in almost all visitors' browsers.
Adding images to products is as easy as:
 | | Defining Global Settings... |   | One of the first decisions you will make concerns which media players you will support via CineSound. In the Global Settings box on the left, you can choose any combination of the 4 leading internet media players available today. You can also set default behaviours for the selected players including playback control display, looping, autostart, playback area size and even a default caption to use with any audio or video clip.
Here, you can also choose to enable YouTube content. YouTube content can quickly and easily be added to your page simply by entering the URL of the YouTube web page which displays the required content.
Also in this section, you can select which of the 10 standardized CineSound playback control buttons will appear below the enabled player (not WMP). This selection of buttons also applies to your own customized buttons if you choose to override the standard CineSound ones. Want clip-specific settings? No problem! You can override these settings when creating any individual clip (see step 3, below). |

 | | Setting Up the Required Position for the Clip... |  | | Use the Position Manager to create new places in your osCommerce website to render your valuable videos. After giving the new position a name, the system will generate a line of PHP which you will need to cut and paste into the required position in your osCommerce .php file. Add a touch of HTML to get the positioning of the code spot on, and you'll be well on the way to displaying video via any of the 4 supported players in that position. Once the code is pasted into the osCommerce file, the Position Manager will detect if the code has been deployed in a programmatically reachable place and then you'll be able to associate the position with a movie clip. In this way, you can place video clips anywhere in your osCommerce store - even inside infoboxes! | |
 | | ...and Defining Clip-Specific Files and Player Settings. |  | This is the final step in creating an audio or video presentation for your osCommerce store. You create a clip by giving it a name, uploading up to 4 files suitable for playback using up to 4 media players, and configuring settings to determine on which page(s) playback will occur. Pages used for playback are determined by supplying a URL substring of the required page(s), and the position within the page(s) depends on where you deployed the position code generated by the Position Manager. With such fine-grained control over playback positioning, you can quickly and easily update or switch your presentations around as required. YouTube content can just as easily be organized and displayed on your site, simply by enabling YouTube content in the Global Settings section, above, then copying and pasting the URL of the YouTube web page which displays your required content into the text field. Here you can also override the Global Settings for any individual clip, so you can tailor appearance and playback behaviour to suit the rest of your osCommerce page. For example, you could add a clip-specific caption above or below the clip as extra information, or provide ambient music in the background of your webpage by setting 'Hidden' to 'Yes'. |  |

There are further vendor-specific settings that can be set for each player, which are particularly useful if you want to concentrate on supporting just one or two specific players. Most of these setting are to do with playback quality and aspect ratios, giving you more control over the finished presentation. On top of the vendor-specific settings, you can also select whether or not the players will be controlled by their own default buttons (or 'skins') or by the CineSound standard buttons, which gives a uniform look and feel to playback controls across different players (not WMP). |
