Embedding Video - What sites are supported

[gregcurran]

Hi

New to SnapPages. I want to embed videos from my Ning site but it doesn't work.

What video sites are actually supported?

Will Ning be supported in the future?

Thanks.

Can you give me a sample of the ning embed code so that I can do some testing with it?

I am trying to embed Tangle for a website. This is the old GodTube. I cannot seem to get the formula right. Do you have any suggestions or experience with this site? Thanks, Kim

--- this group will be adding several videos over the course of time to their site from this site -

Here is sample embed code:
<embed src="http://www.tangle.com/flash/swf/flvplayer.swf" FlashVars="viewkey=ee73e63418003b47d7d5" wmode="transparent" quality="high" width="330" height="270" name="tangle" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>

Thanks - K

There might be a small bug in our embedding system with mixed case titles. Try changing the word "FlashVars" to "flashvars" when you paste it in and see if that helps.

did you ever sort out the ning issue. Are there any training vids on using snap pages. I am new and wish to embed video from teachers tv but as the dont let you see the code I am not sure how to do this. THe site lets you download videos so could i use a third party site and can you recommend one?

Hi
Thanks but that doesnt seem to cover it. Here is the embed code but I cannot get it to work - perhaps you can spot an error in the code

<div style="background:#dddfe3 url(http://www.teachers.tv/images/external/player/teacherstv_logo.png) no-repeat;margin:0 auto;padding:0;width:295px;"><a href="http://www.teachers.tv" title="Teachers TV"><img src="http://www.teachers.tv/images/external/player/teacherstv.png" style="border:none;" alt="Teachers TV" /></a><p style="background:transparent;color:#434062;font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:0.9em;font-weight:bolder;margin:15px 38px 0 10px;padding:0;"><a href="http://www.teachers.tv/video/30807" style="color:#434062;">The Primary A-Z of... - Cross-Curriculum Teaching</a></p><p style="background:transparent;color:#666;font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:0.9em;font-weight:normal;margin:0 38px 10px 10px;padding:0;">15 minutes</p><div style="background:url(http://www.teachers.tv/images/external/player/teacherstv_bg.png) no-repeat 0 100%;margin:0;padding:0 0 60px 5px;width:285px;height:206px;"><object id="flashcontent" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="285" height="206"><param name="movie" value="http://www.teachers.tv/flash/video/30807" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><!--[if !IE]>--><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.teachers.tv/flash/video/30807" width="285" height="206"><!--<![endif]--><p><a href="http://www.teachers.tv/video/30807">Watch this video online on Teachers TV</a></p><!--[if !IE]>--></object><!--<![endif]--></object>
</div></div>

This is probably because most the stuff in that code has nothing to do with actually embedding the flash video player. The relevant part you need starts with the "<object id=..." and ends with "</object>". Try just copying and pasting on this part to see if it helps.

I noticed that and tried getting to the core of the embed code earlier, but couldn't get it to work. There is a smiley in the middle of that, which may have originally been a :D - however, I still couldn't get Snappages to accept the code. It doesn't seem complete. It points to a player.swf but not a source video as far as I can tell...
