Can you be more specific. What files should be played with what player?

 

You tried using the HTML5 audio and video tags?

Thank you for the reply Ch0cu3r

 

I have got a text field  for post_url->   I need to insert a URL from youtube link, vimeo link, audio link and etc....

 

how does it recognise which player for the post_url text field.

You'd have to analyse the domain of the url the user posts, so if the url contains youtube.com then it's a youtube video, if it contains vimeo.com the it is a vimeo video etc. Once you have found out the video source you can then inject their video url into the embedded player code, for youtube, vimeo etc.

 

Example code

$videoSource = parse_url($videoUrl, PHP_URL_HOST); // get the domain from the video url

// display embedded video based on domain
switch($videoSource) {
   case 'youtu.be':
   case 'youtube.com':
      // embedded player code for youtube video
   break;

   case 'vimeo.com':
      // embedded player code for vimeo video
   break;
}

The problem is how do you know it is going to be an audio file? You might want to add a radio button which the user chooses video, or audio. When the form is posted you'd check what type of media they have linked to. When they select video, you'd run the code for embedding the video player. For audio you'd use their url in the html5 audio tag.

// form
<form>
...
<p>Media Type: <input type="radio" name="type" value="Audio" /> Audio OR <input type="radio" name="type" value="video" /> Video?</p>
<p>Link: <input type="text" name="media-link" /></p>
...
</form>

// php
<?php
if($_POST['type'] == 'audio')
{
    // code for html audio tag
}
else
{
    // code for embedded video player
}

function videoPlayer($vid){
    $videoSource = parse_url($vid, PHP_URL_HOST); // get the domain from the video url

    $return = "";
    switch($videoSource) {
        case 'youtu.be':
        case 'youtube.com':
            $return = $vid;
        break;
        case 'vimeo.com':
            $return = $vid;
        break;
        case 'blip.tv':
            $return = $vid;
        break;
    }
    return $return;
}

echo videoPlayer($vid);
