I’m looking for a jQuery Video Gallery, I’ve searched and haven’t come across anything I’m looking for a specific type of appearance in case it’s not out there
mmmm… not sure you’ll find a jQuery video gallery. What format will your video be in? I would imagine you will have to use a combination of Flash to achieve something.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? Maybe that will help me give better direction.
The videos will be in FLV. I would like to have a video gallery that you select the thumbnails and then it plays the video file but I just don’t have the exact navigation / appearance in stone.
rustybuddy is right, you’ll need to specify a Flash player of some sort you want to use as well, as javascript (and therefore jquery) can’t do this alone.
Have a look at the link in my signature. It might be what you’re after as it comes with a flash video player.
You mean Shampoo ?
The reason why I asked in regards to jQuery is because I know Flash is closed and if I wanted a Search Engine to find what is in the gallery from my knowledge jQuery could only do that so in this case it’s a combination of Flash & jQuery. I have come across some jQuery image galleries but the one or two I saw could have a little modifications to it.
Yeah, but specifically the video bit. Go here and click one of the video thumbs.

This makes no sense. jQuery is javascript and so also technically hidden from search engines. What exactly do you want these search engines to index? The title of the video? You can do that without any of this stuff.
I didn’t know that jQuery is also hidden from search engines. You can’t have the video files to be seen by the search engine ?
I would like a somewhat interactive video gallery, that I have somewhat a custom design for it’s just not concrete, yet.
What do you mean by “seen” by the search engines? Of course if you create a link to a video file, Google will index it. If you have a video called “mongoose_video.mp4” and someone searches for videos of mongooses, Google will show that video in its results. But it can’t do anything else with it.
jQuery isn’t hidden from search engines, they just aren’t interested in it. Search engines might be aware that you’ve included javascript in your HTML pages, but they’re not going to be interested in the javascript. Moreover, anything created by the javascript will not be seen by search engines. Search engines behave just like if you were to browse with javascript turned off.
I understand that What is the prime difference between a jQuery Gallery and a Flash Gallery or are they one in the same ?
What’s the difference between Bulgarian and Swahili? Or are they one and the same?
Well I would just like to know the benefits of jQuery ? If it’s possible to create a Video Gallery that would be in comparison to that, in which I’ve seen with Flash !
jQuery and Flash are different languages. jQuery depends on javascript and Flash depends on the user having the Flash plugin being installed.
You can’t create a video gallery just with jQuery. You need some sort of plugin that can play video. Normally people use Flash for that.
If you don’t understand the fundamental differences between Flash and JavaScript (which is what jQuery is) then you need to spend some time reading about it.
Well I thought it would be possible that jQuery can play video files, now that I know it’s not possible that leaves, that out.
I’ve realized that I will have to go with Flash, I didn’t want to but I have no other choice.
Has anyone constructed any flash video galleries ?
Do you mean one where the entire interface is in Flash? Or one where you simply launch the videos from a gallery in normal HTML/CSS/JavaScript, where you launch each video from a link to or a thumbnail of the video?
Where the entire Interface is flash.
First result in Google for “flash video gallery”. You could, of course, have found this yourself.
I thought you were going to mention something you’ve done. I know about that place.
