How to embed video from svtplay.se (New WikiLeaks documentary)?
-
Swedish TV SVT just posted a pretty good documentary: “WikiRebels – The Documentary” and I really want to post it on my blog. But I can’t see how-to do this. Can it be be that wordpress.com only supports those sites that are listed on the video support pages etc…? Is there a work-around?
This is the URL to the video http://svtplay.se/v/2264028/wikirebels___the_documentary?cb,a1364145,1,f,-1/pb,a1364142,1,f,-1/pl,v,,2264028/sb,p118750,1,f,-1
On the right hand side there is a button “</>” that offers you to copy/paste the code for embedding the video in your blog.
How can this be done? Thanks!

Hi. The workaround is to convert the embed code into a Gigya code. By following the instructions given on this helpful article…

…the result would look like this. Give it a try.
[gigya src="http://svt.se/embededflash/2264028/play.swf" wmode="transparent" width="416" height="258"] -
Wonderful, that really does work! Will now post it later today…
It would have been too frustrating if this didn’t work somehow. You kind of restored my faith in wordpress.com, I already thought I had reached a limit of what can be done.
Many thanks!!!

You’re welcome. Officially you cannot insert any Flash on WordPress.COM, and there is no support documentation for the Gigya shortcode, so thanks should also go to Panos for writing such a useful article :-)
