Does anybody think that the implementation of this http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/ would be interesting? Im thinking branded video players and so on.

Hey guys,

Video Inc wasn't working with videos from blip.tv - apparently blip changed their Flash Media player and the stub required an updated. I updated my stub and also made (an admittedly ugly hack) to allow it to show thumbnails from Blip.

I changed the relevant array portion of my stub.php (in lib) to the following. The actual file is too big to upload.

Hope this helps anyone who was having problems showing videos from Blip.tv.

  array(
    'title' => 'Blip',
    'website' => 'http://www.blip.tv',
    'url-match' => 'http://blip\.tv/(play|file)/([0-9]*)', 
    'fetch-match' => '<link rel="video_src" href="([A-z:/\.0-9-_=]*)', 
    'embed-src' => '$2', 
    'embed-width' => '500',
    'embed-height' => '315',
    'fetch-match' => '<link rel="videothumbnail" href="([A-z:/\.0-9-_=]*)', 
    'image-src' => '$2',
  ),

hello,

i've installed this plugin, and it works fine, however I am wondering if there is a way to have the inserted DIV code:

<div class='video_inc_list'>
..etc, etc, etc

moved to the start of the post code just after:

<div class="post_image_wrapper">

At the moment, it is appearing right where the avatar normally goes... same as the plugin "post_images" does...

I've had a look through the video_inc code, and noticed a function:

public function show_post_content_list($h)

which i'm guessing has something to do with it? I'm just not sure how to mod it and have it exactly where I want it and inline with my other post images....

I hope the above makes sense, its a bit convoluted but I could not figure any other way to write this post..

ignore the top question Nick, to anyone interested in doing this mod, just change the plugin hook to be "pre_show_post"

[Nick]

Or use some of the pluginHook function parameters to restrict and exclude plugins:

Hi Nick, thanks for these great plugins. I have a question for this one, would it be possible just embed the actual video, like let's say youtube on the main page? that way you won't need a thumbnail, or a lightbox to view it as it'll just play on the main page as it would on the post page. Kinda like facebook.

Thanks

[Nick]

Well, the show_post_content_list hook shows the thumbnail and the show_post_content_post hook embeds the video, so you could just add that second hook to your bookmarking_list template. And then exclude video_inc from the first hook.
