Embed Flash Player in Sermons

I am trying to update our church website to Joomla 2.5 but I am experiencing some difficulties. I don't store our sermons on our server but use Sermon Audio. On the audiofile I enter the path to the sermon sermon.net/dsc/sermonid/119935628
and on the sermon notes I embed <embed src=" sermon.net/swf/ma.swf " quality="high" width="290" height="65" name="mpp" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="poid=119935628&d=http://www.sermon.net/&autostart=false" pluginspage=" www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer ">.

When I save out the embed code is replaced by <param name="movie" value=" sermon.net/swf/ma.swf " />. The previous version of sermon speaker for 1.5 is fine. dsc-sbc.org/resources/sermons/sermon/10118-our-supreme-example

This is most likely done by the editor you use. Usually TinyMCE or JCE. SermonSpeaker doesn't change anything in the field, this is all done by the editor.

So check the settings of the editor plugin or try a different editor.

Thomas,
Thanks for your response. I have checked the setting and they look fine. When I enter the same code in an article it works fine. Only in sermon speaker that I have the issues. I use JCE editor.

That is an interesting one. I think the hint that it works in articles pointed me to the right location.

Can you try to edit the following files:

/components/com_sermonspeaker/models/forms/sermon.xml
administrator/components/com_sermonspeaker/models/forms/sermon.xml

There is the following code around line #63: Change the filter to "JComponentHelper::filterText" like this: I think that should do the trick.

I have made the changes, but I can't see the results on the web page. I am using wamp server to test our new site.

Hmm, I just tried the code you posted on my testing system and I get the exact same result for articles as for sermons. The edit form shows this Flash placeholder and the frontend shows nothing. But the sourcecode is there, so maybe it's more an issue of the code now?

Does it really work in articles for you?

Is there no way to point to the real videofile directly, instead of puttin the player into the notes? Seems quite complicate to me.
You know that SermonSpeaker can handle files on extern servers? Just enter the URL starting with http:// and make sure the server allows cross-site Flash access.
