Does anyone know if there's an open source version of the YouTube code out there?
If not, is there any easy way to embed videos into a page in the style of YouTube without actually hosting them on YouTube or another third party site?

Well, basically you'd need to be able to convert the video into Flash Video format (FLV) and create/get a Flash-based "player" (something like this). Then host that on your site.

Look into Shockwave. As I know you can convert movies into Shockwave, host them, and play them on your web pages that way.

I have that player built into THI, I just don't have a simple way to convert video to flash for people who are the uploading.

The easiest way to convert it to flash is probably to upload it to YouTube then use a site like KeepVid to retrieve it. How did you build the player into THI?

I can probably convert the vid to FLV if you'd like.

But how does one get a player to play it?
Like Odeo is a flash player that can play mp3s you host. That way "the man" can't shut down the music I want other people to listen to (without sending them directly to the source file).

There's a free player called FLVplayer that'll play flash videos.

Offline. I need something that streams online.
Like with Odeo I paste:
| Code: |
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_standard_gray.swf" height="52" width="300">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_standard_gray.swf" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="flashvars" value="valid_sample_rate=true&external_url= MP3 FILE ADDRESS HERE" />
</object> |
And bang. It's on a page and anyone who wants it can play it.

So if I use Macromedia Flash to convert the videos to SWF, I could use the code you just gave me to embed videos in pages?

Are talking to me, cause that code is only for audio. I'm looking for a video equivalent... Much like you seem to be too...

Wait, this might work... Once you load this FlowPlayer into the site...
| Code: |
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FlowPlayer.swf"
width="320" height="262" id="FlowPlayer">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="FlowPlayer.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noScale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="flashvars" value="config={videoFile: '???.flv'}" />
</object>
|
From http://flowplayer.sourceforge.net/howto.html
EDIT: I'm trying this now... Wait for results.

I spent way more time than I wanted to last night trying to get FlowPlayer to work.
I can get it to work, but only when the actual movie file is in the same folder as the code. This is a problem for trying to link to it in a forum or website. FlowPlayer seems to link just fine though. All I need to do is crack the mystery of the FLV file...
