The code works as far as playing the video is concerned, but it doesn't work the way it should.
Although it plays the video, it does not increase the count for the number of times the video has been viewed, and it does not count the video as being recently viewed. Here is an example to better illustrate what I mean.
Click Here for a sample of a video that was embedded using the old/original iFrame method. You'll notice that when you play this video, the video is moved to the front of the recently played list on
my site, and that the video viewed count increases by one.
Click Here for an example of a file that has been embedded using this new method. While the video plays just fine, you'll notice that nothing happens on
my site. As far as my site is concerned, it is as if the video hasn't even been played, which shouldn't be the case.
Simply playing the video on another site is only half of what the embedding should accomplish. It should also accomplish these other aspects, and I'm not entirely sure why this is not happening. But yes, if you're only concerned with getting it to play and don't care about the other functionality, then it works great.
