How can I turn this link into actual video? http://plus.cnbc.com/rssvideosearch/action/player/id/1783866948/code/cnbcplayershare

Youtube is easy. But this is a pain.

Do you know the code?

Thanks.

You have to use the gigya shortcode to insert that video since it is not directly supported.

Paste the following into the HTML tab in your page or post editor where you want the video to appear.

[gigya src="http://plus.cnbc.com/rssvideosearch/action/player/id/1783866948/code/cnbcplayershare" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" height="380" width="400" quality="best" wmode="transparent" scale="noscale" salign="lt" ]

You are welcome.

You can review more on the gigya short code and videos and such over at these two links.

It sounds like I need some of the same help.

I’m looking to embed an ESPN video, and I’ve had a look at the links above, but I can’t get it to work.

The video is: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6103089

The Embed code is: <object width=”384″ height=”216″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” id=”ESPN_VIDEO” data=”http://espn.go.com/videohub/player/embed.swf” allowScriptAccess=”always” allowNetworking=”all”><param name=”movie” value=”http://espn.go.com/videohub/player/embed.swf” /><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”/><param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”/><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”/><param name=”allowNetworking” value=”all”/><param name=”flashVars”

Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks for the quick reply!

Here’s the full code provided by ESPN:

<object width=”384″ height=”216″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” id=”ESPN_VIDEO” data=”http://espn.go.com/videohub/player/embed.swf” allowScriptAccess=”always” allowNetworking=”all”><param name=”movie” value=”http://espn.go.com/videohub/player/embed.swf” /><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”/><param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”/><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”/><param name=”allowNetworking” value=”all”/><param name=”flashVars” value=”id=6103089″/></object>

@coacholesen: I tried the following code but all I get is an icon…
[gigya src="http://espn.go.com/videohub/player/embed.swf" width="384" height="216" wmode="transparent" flashvars="id=6103089" allowFullScreen="true"]
What I find weird is that I was expecting the code to contain an “Embed” tag but it doesn’t. Hopefully another volunteer can have a look and see what’s wrong.

I’m having a similar problem. What I am trying to do is stop YouTube videos from showing the related videos after my video runs. As a test I took the code from above from “thesacredpath” member and put it on my page and it works fine. When I replace the gigya src= with
gigya src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/puUHYZkZASE?rel=0″

I get an error on my page about an invalid URL. If I put that URL in my browser address bar I get my video.

I have a feeling that the rel=0 is causing the problem, but that is the part of the embed code that stops the “related videos” from showing at the end.

Any ideas?

some question as mentioned, but still can’t make it work><
I would like to embed a film from CNBC MAD Money, link as “http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=3000007208&play=1”
when I pressed the embed button it showed “<object id=”cnbcplayer” height=”380″ width=”400″ classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0″ >
<param name=”type” value=”application/x-shockwave-flash”/>
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true”/>
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”/>
<param name=”quality” value=”best”/>
<param name=”scale” value=”noscale” />
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”/>
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″/>
<param name=”salign” value=”lt”/>
<param name=”movie” value=”http://plus.cnbc.com/rssvideosearch/action/player/id/3000007208/code/cnbcplayershare”/>
<embed name=”cnbcplayer” PLUGINSPAGE=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” allowfullscreen=”true” allowscriptaccess=”always” bgcolor=”#000000″ height=”380″ width=”400″ quality=”best” wmode=”transparent” scale=”noscale” salign=”lt” src=”http://plus.cnbc.com/rssvideosearch/action/player/id/3000007208/code/cnbcplayershare” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” />
</object>”
So…. which part should I add the “gigya src= ?”…..if there is any way to embed video easier?
Thanks for helping :)
