1. Hello, i'm tring to embed this example
   https://raw.github.com/gist/1217547/553ddf5bf0a4c842aa4a29837160c3b20...
    in local. If i use the url video url give in the example,
   http://vimeo.com/api/v2/vhx/videos.json, there is no problem, when i try
   to change it with another url that displays a json response, I have this
   error:
   2.
   3. Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.
      1. megaplaya_call
      2. (anonymous function)
      3. onclick

      Does anybody know a solution?

That was the error in chrome. in Firefox i've got this: "uncaught
exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error."

Hi Davide - What's the URL you are using that's causing it to break?

Hey Casey, thanks for your answer.
This is the url
http://bit.ly/A3sT7J

This guy say that is a flash problem
http://www.wrichards.com/blog/2009/02/error-calling-method-on-npobject/

For me it seems to be a JSON parsing issue:

$.ajax({
      type: "GET",
      url: "http://www.iocose.org/apis/first.json",
      dataType: "jsonp",
      success: function(videos, status, ajax) {
        if (videos) {
          megaplaya.api_playQueue(videos);
        }
      },
      *error: function() {*
*        console.log(arguments);*
*      }*
     });

If you add an "error" callback to $.ajax, you'll see that jQuery fails to
parse the JSON response. Here's the output I received: http://sht.tl/OmrhT

I'd check to make sure your server isnt doing anything funky with it's JSON
response.

thanks, I'll check the json response.
Another question, can I use the same example with an xml files?
dataType: "xml"
and then read an external xml file?

You can use any format you'd like as long as the end result is an array of
objects containing a "url" attribute that gets passed to the video player.

Here's a basic example:

megaplaya.api_playQueue([
  { url: 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgKUS9AFemc' },
  { url: 'http://vimeo.com/25584378' },
  { url: 'http://www.flashcomguru.com/flash/bbc_reel_m420pVP6_768K.flv' }
])

To clarify: that "dataType" param is part of jQuery's $.ajax function, which I believe handles xml, but might require some massaging.

I think your JSON issues might be caused because your JSON is not JSONP, which requires a ?callback=foobar parameter. jQuery is hiding some of this magic:

      url: "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/vhx/videos.json",
      dataType: "jsonp",

is functionally equivalent to:

        url: "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/vhx/videos.json?callback=some_callback_function"
        dataType: "json",

The "Error calling method on NPObject" was an exception from the VHX megaplaya, but like Casey pointed out it was caused by the malformed JSON. We'll add more informative debugging to the player.

Yes, probably some massaging. I've written a script that parse the youtube
api and generates a static file. Probably for this purpose an XML file it's
better than a JSON file.The generated file is something like this
http://www.iocose.org/files/videos.xml but it doesn't work.
I will work it out tomorrow,
thanks for your answer
