jw player

I've never heard of it. But it's not hard to YouTube the same video. L

That may be the problem. It could be that the supported formats embed with Flash, where JW does not. Where is the JW site? L

I see, thanks. It may be the case that this player isn't used by enough people to be considered adding to the list of supported formats?

I can't see how to embed that one here, but as I said previously notice how Fox present the subject, using words like "high-tech treasure hunt" to generate interest in their audience.

Hey, yeah I got the file, but (I may get this slightly wrong, my web coding is extremely poor) I understand that it works differently than other online video websites. <br />Your jw player has the flash player which links to a playlist / database the reason that will not work embedding it into Instructables is because the video is not standalone with the player. <br /><br />I'm not sure if you saw the link in my previous comment: <br />http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-embed-a-video-into-Instructables/?ALLSTEPS<br />

...and I'll just let you know what I was doing: from your video player URL <br />(http://jamesm.com.au/player/) > View Source, now in the source you have two links :<pre id="line1"> SWFObject('http://jamesm.com.au/player/player.swf',...); ...('file','http://jamesm.com.au/player/play.xml');If I got to the .xml page there's the code: "<media:content url="http://jamesm.com.au/player/test.mp4"/>"which is linking to the actual video file, Then again as what I have been describing is like using the Instrctablessandbox for embedding videos, were yo able to embed the raw html you shouldn't have a problemActually I think I should go to bed, I'm probably talking in circles and it's only confusing.</pre>

invalid movie: http://jamesm.com.au/player/player.swf<em>?&file=http://jamesm.com.au/player/test.mp4</em>
<br /><br />Read this Instructables for more information about embedding videos: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-embed-a-video-into-Instructables/?ALLSTEPS">www.instructables.com/id/How-to-embed-a-video-into-Instructables/</a><br /><br />I have tried using the html code but due to the new editor it's not working. <br /><br />
