embeding

[zvidzdotnet]

Yes.. as I stated b4... when the .flv file is created it is renamed to something like 118624363430688665.flv and the script is calling for a video named 56.flv as an example. I'm sure somthing in the view_video.tpl needs to be changed to look for the new variable.

If anyone has the answer, please let me know

Thank You

Just as a further example:

On the video page it gives me this code:

<object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.zvidz.net/player/player.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.zvidz.net/player/player.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="&file=http://www.zvidz.net/flvideo/60.flv&height=350&image=http://www.zvidz.net/thumb/60.jpg&width=425&location=http://www.zvidz.net/player/player.swf&logo=http://www.zvidz.net/templates/images/watermark.gif&link=http://www.zvidz.net&linktarget=_blank"/></object>

The actual code that is currently needed to play the video:

<object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.zvidz.net/player/player.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.zvidz.net/player/player.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="&file=http://www.zvidz.net/flvideo/11865420821769636928.flv&height=350&image=http://www.zvidz.net/thumb/60.jpg&width=425&location=http://www.zvidz.net/player/player.swf&logo=http://www.zvidz.net/templates/images/watermark.gif&link=http://www.zvidz.net&linktarget=_blank"/></object>

As you can see, the embed code from the page list the video file as:

60.flv

when it is actually:

11865420821769636928.flv

I assume there is a way to fix this.

Anyone with the answer, Please let me know,

Thank You

thank u guys for ur help, but tried the both codes listed here and got the same result - blank frame - not loading :(

I used the code in post #2 just fine to post in comments on MySpace. However, I have noticed a problem with it that I am hoping someone has an answer to.

When I embedded videos using the original iFrame method, the benefit was that when someone played a video on blogger or wherever it was embedded, it actually updated on my site in the list of most recently played videos.

However, with the new code, it doesn't matter how often it gets played, it never gets refreshed in the recently played list unless the person actually comes to the site to play it.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

[olrac]

the code doesn't work with you guys? mine works fine, I already put the code to my myspace.com/

[SportsGamingTV.com]

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.
