[Xerte] Re: FW: embedding video

[Julian Tenney]

Not the way we do it. If you had .flvs on another server, and some API to find them and their paths, then you could. That wouldn't have to be complex: it could work just the same way as the youtube stuff:  you say 'what's video with the ID 12345' and the remote server says 'This one: http:///blah.com/file.flv<http://blah.com/file.flv>'. You could do other stuff with the API too, like search a collection of movies, and get a list of matches back, and so on.
Right now, if you know the actual path to an .flv on another server, you can load it and play it in Xerte, by wrapping the path in single quotes in the box, try this if you like...'

This is an interesting point. I was at a college yesterday where they have their own YouTube variant on their local server with curriculum-only resources and I was wondering just the same. How easily could they tweak the YouTube feed to take their local feed?

Hi

Should it be possible to embed video into a Xerte object using the You Tube feature even though the video is streaming from another site (i.e. a video server that is not You Tube)?  Do you have to tweak the embed code to get it to work or is just not possible?

Thanks for your help,

Yvonne
