[Xerte] Re: Embedding Videos

[Ron Mitchell]

In that case you'd need to add some code to textVideo.rlm or create your own
dedicated page type.

 

Xerte is Flash, your embed code is meant for a html page not a flash movie.
Perhaps vshare provides an api to help achieve this.

You could build a separate page that takes your embed code and manipulates
that to grab the url of the .flv but if you follow your long link below in
the browser e.g. https://vshare.midkent.ac.uk/xml_playlist.php?id=142
<https://vshare.midkent.ac.uk/xml_playlist.php?id=142&height=350&image=https
://vshare.midkent.ac.uk/thumb/4ca4238a0b/142.jpg&width=425&location=https://
vshare.midkent.ac.uk/player/player.swf&logo=https://vshare.midkent.ac.uk/tem

h=425&location=https://vshare.midkent.ac.uk/player/player.swf&logo=https://v
share.midkent.ac.uk/templates/images/watermark.gif&link=http://s-moodle.midk
ent.ac.uk&linktarget=_blank you'll see the link to the .flv in the xml. 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.

 

 

That's good to know and is useful to me. The problem is that our end users
are presented with the embedcode so if possible they need to be able to use
that. Following the url, finding the link and then altering it to work it
really a few steps to many.
