I wanted to Purchase a server to host a site and i am embedding SoundCloud in the site i want to that as youtube embedding uses youtube bandwidth and not the hosting website space. so similarly does soundcloud uses the bandwidth of the hosting site or its own bandwidth after embedding the soundcloud
Below is the iframe for Soundcloud
<iframe width="100%" height="800" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/users/23397058&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true"></iframe>
The media is stored on SoundCloud’s servers and the browser fetches it from there.

I have read varying responses to this but I am needing to know if my site plays and embedded Vimeo video will it count towards CDN billing? What do you think? Thanks!
It does not. When embedding a Vimeo asset on your site, it's likely using an iframe. e.g.
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/XXXXXXXX" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<p>Video Title from User on Vimeo.</p>
Let's say a user requests the HTML page from your domain. Your CDN sends the HTML page (with the iframe code) to the user. This counts against your billing. Once the page is loaded by the user's browser, the browser reads the iframe and pulls the video content from vimeo.com (notice the iframe src value). Your CDN does not deliver video bits for Vimeo so you are not billed for that traffic.
I'm looking on how to embed a DailyMotion video on local html page, it works on server, but not on local.
in my web application, I'm embedding both of DailyMotion and Youtube videos on this webapp , youtube videos are working but not DailyMotion videos
I'm using simple Iframe embed method :
<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x2p99yn" ></iframe>
You need to add the protocol to the source url: in your iframe, you have src="//www and you need to replace it by src="http://www for it to work in local
the best practice to post youtube videos on website is through using iframes or embed tag
<iframe width="420" height="345"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XGSy3_Czz8k">
</iframe>
or
<embed
width="420" height="345"
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGSy3_Czz8k"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
my question is which is best practice for posting videos on site......
and what are effects on performance using both of them....
The new style is the <iframe>. For more information look here with this notification:
Please keep in mind, the mobile player cannot be embedded on external mobile sites.
I think it is always safe to use embed tags. Use of iframe in websites is a source of vulnerabilities. iFrames opens up window for hackers. For embed tag, there is no major security issues being reported.
Embed tag is much more effective, as we can handle different situation more effectively, like is player not supported etc...
Consider the following embed code of this video from Vimeo - Popular video hosting site:
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/41321504?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=c8c8c8" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
the video embed url(http://player.vimeo.com/video/41321504) does open, if open directly in new browser window but doesn't contain location of video anywhere in html source code, thereby preventing downloads,i guess this is a feature of flash DRM. But then, a third-party website comes in & was able to give the direct urls to same video
http://av.vimeo.com/42007/964/95995392.mp4?aksessionid=96d0b8ffbb4c0c04b1c6b7f1562de7d5&token=1343971749_85ce464ec3361604fbda75e38e29f4e8
From a programmers standpoint, i was wondering how does it work? how are these video downloaders able to fetch direct url of the videos which are not even present in html source? what is their process if anyone can explain that step-by-step.
They do server-side analysis of the flash object, which will establish a conection to download the video. That connection can easily be captured. That even works in a browser, with Firebug for example:
I am creating a web site where users submit their (raw) youtube links and the system should automatically embed them. However, I cannot embed the youtube videos unless I get the special embed link given by youtube. How can I manage to embed any youtube link provided to the system ? Any suggestions ?
Can't you just drop this in, and update video_id as need be?
<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
Cenmre, I have the perfect solution for you.
YouTube supports oEmbed, which lets you send it any URL, and get back the appropriate embed code.
