[Xerte-dev] Re: New Youtube page

[Julian Tenney]

The choice we have is to use HTML or AS3, but either way we need to put it outside xerte somehow. It's been a bit like plugging a leaky ship anyway, so I'll not be sorry to see it moved into HTML where it really ought to be.

I also get the same video on both pages: how come? Are the IDs different?

Reminds me: we need to remove the google translation page as they pulled that as well.

Anyone else see a pattern emerging?

It's in place now - page 61 and 62 of http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=22

If you go through in linear order Page 61 comes up with an undefined but page 62 seems to work fine - not sure what the difference is but then if you go back to page 61 it pops up the video from page 62.

Will the wizard have options to set pop-up window features such as resizable? In IE 8 the pop up isn't resizable but I think it should be or perhaps better still have control over than in the wizard. In Firefox and Safari I can resize the pop-up.

Presumably this is grabbing the image automatically which is great? I don't think it's as nice as the current YouTube page but if that's going then I guess we have no choice. At least it means features such as captions and view full screen are available.

How will the feed page work?

Hi Julian
did you commit to the XOT svn or just Xerte? Not showing up in the XOT svn that I've been using for the test install. Not sure if I can just grab the two files from the Xerte svn and just replace the files on the test install?

I just committed a new version of the youtube page: it uses newWindow to launch the video. I tried doing the embed approach, but it's gribbly: the movie hovers above the popup menus along the bottom, and moving to a new page left the screen black for a few seconds. So this way pops up a new window, but I think it's the best we can do until we get the HTML5 stuff finished.

If you could pop it in the demo please Ron, I'll do the RSS one as well, but I'll wait for any comments first.
