Embed self-hosted videos

xVal

I have a lot of videos uploaded on my host and I want them to appear inside posts - is this possible using Mediator?

V: 2.0.18.8

What format are your videos ?

Please update to 2.0.18.9 for security patches.

@vrijvlinder vids are various formats, like mp4/wmv/avi etc

vrijvlinder

you would embed them using the old fashion embed codes .

Example:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" 
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="136" >
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="videofilename.mp4" >
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true" >
<EMBED SRC="videofilename.mp4" TYPE="image/x-macpaint" 
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="136" AUTOPLAY="true"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>


<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" 
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="136" >
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="videofilename_mp4.mov" >
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true" >
<EMBED SRC="videofilename_mp4.mov" TYPE="image/x-macpaint" 
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="136" AUTOPLAY="true"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>


<object id="MediaPlayer" width="192" height="190" type="video/x-ms-asf">
<param name="FileName"value="videofilename.wmv">
<param name="autostart" value="false">
<param name="ShowControls" value="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="videofilename.wmv" 
width="192" height="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0" />
</object>

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"

I wonder if you can think of a way to auto load a url to an mp4 or flv to a server side installed copy of flowplayer?

vrijvlinder

You can use the plugin playMp3 and it will play a flash version of the mp3
