Just add that to the video page type with a single apostrophe at either end e.g. 'https://vshare.midkent.ac.uk/flvideo/4ca4238a0b/1307960288728393458.flv' and that should work fine. However with that example the clip was a bit too big so you may have to add the optional video size property to get it to fit.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Example here http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/moodle/xertetoolkits/play_233<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>HTH<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Ron<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></a></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dan Attwood<br><b>Sent:</b> 22 June 2011 11:50<br><b>To:</b> Xerte discussion list<br><b>Subject:</b> [Xerte] Embedding Videos<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi<br><br>We're trying to embed videos form our internal vshare server.

The embed code works on other html pages so I know that the code itself is fine. It seems to be an issue with the way xerte is interprating the code.<br><br>Does any one know of a way to fix this.<br><br>alternately can some one point me in the direction of the code for the youtube video embed page so that I can have a go at cloning that and altering it to be a vshare specific embed page.<br><br>Dan <o:p></o:p></p><p>This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
