i visited g2g.fm, a site for downloading movies. They claim that they do not store those movies on their servers. But when you download a movie (mp4) it already comes with properties added. And the comment property as there url address.
What i want to know is. Is their a code you place on html, that adds properties while the user is downloading the video link taken from another site like g2g.fm ?
Im building a blog of my own. And i index links from other sites. Problem is, those files from other sites come with properties added and there url .

I have a question about embedding YouTube videos on a new website I'm working on.
It is a collection of livesets from different festivals around the world. Each embedded video has its own page, but on the overview pages I use the thumbnails mqdefault.jpg/hqdefault.jpg,etc of the different videos. If you click on them you navigate to the page where the video is embedded. Is embedding the thumbnails this way allowed (directly linking to YouTube)? Embedding the video is ok if embedding is enabled, but I can't find anything about the thumbnails. I can retrieve the url with the YouTube API (or just guess it) so I presume it is not a problem.
You are dependent on static url scraping are not supported. They can get changed and you may need to change your application at everytime.
For this you should use Data API v3. You should go with a videos->list request with id=videoId and part=snippet. In the response you will check snippet.thumbnails.['high'].url
Upload Thumbnail example also lists the thumbnails. However, I use static url from google. I use
https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg
It work as same as othet static url. But if you don't want to change url of thumbnail every time static url change you can go with that. I use youtube for example very limited time and only for teaching how its work. But for your site you should use api. Hope it helps you.
I have developed a website for a friend, which has to include some swf files. Those files come from his customers who want to get advertised at his site, and therefore cannot be edited.
The site is made with the use of Joomla 2.5.
My problem is that some of the swf files, do not have the target URL as part of them, and I'm trying to add it using the WYSIWYG editor that Joomla administrator panel provides.
I have tried various things reading different opinions in forums, but nothing works.
And another weird thing, is that when I click one of those, it takes me to a blank page, with the url "http://www.mysite.com/_level0.clickTAG" (where http://www.mysite.com is the name of my friend's site)
Is there a way of inserting a link externally to a swf file, or this is something that cannot be done?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Edit 1:
I have modified my html into
<p><object width="300" height="240" data="images/BANNERS_2014/bannername.swf?clickTAG=http:/www.customersite.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="images/BANNERS_2014/bannername.swf?clickTAG=http:/www.customersite.gr" /></object></p>
and now then I click on the banner, it takes me to http://www.mysite.com/www.customersite.com
instead of http://www.customersite.com
any ideas?
You need to pass the clickTAG as a parameter when you are embedding your SWF. I would have two fields on Joomla. One for the SWF and one for the destination URL. Then you can compose your embed code combining both. Read the article below and pay close attention to the bottom of the page:
http://www.adobe.com/resources/richmedia/tracking/designers_guide/
You can also have a similar set up as the one I outlined above and overlay a div on top of your SWF with the click event on it and the destination URL. You should have more control that way in the event that the SWFs you are getting are not formatted correctly.
I have some copyrighted audio files that I would like to protect from download, but show them on the website(drupal).
I have a player that works with flash and css on a link, but if you view the page source the href of the link is visible, and it is very easy to get the URL and get the files locally.
I understand that it's not possible to prevent it 100%, but what I would like to do is just to make it more difficult than seeing the url in the page source.
How can I do it?
I would like to avoid to write myself a player, because my flash knowledge is quite limited...
I'm already hidding with Javascript the link while hoovering with the mouse of the player(which is acctually a link in terms of HTML).
I've tried an HTML obfuscator(http://htmlobfuscator.com), but it does not work properly, for one link it works, for the second and third one it doesn't...
Many thanks
Ultimately, any file which is simply embedded has to be downloaded to the user's computer in order to be played (usually it is downloaded to a temporary location then removed, but a savvy user will be able to capture the download and save it.
If you want any real protection, you'll have to use a streaming server like Helix Streaming Server. With these, the file is not downloaded by default and the user's only real capture option is an audio cable from LineOut to LineIn. Most don't have access to this.
We are looking for an easy way to share our work in progress videos with our clients - for feedback.
We are using WordPress.
We want to avoid email/ftp/youtube/vimeo etc... And simply have our clients access a link to our site that we give them.
Is there a way that I can get the following:
create a directory "client_0001" on our webserver
upload our client's videos to the directory
send the link to the server "http://mysite.com/client_0001" to our client
when the clients accesses the link they will be presented with our wordpress site, but not some post/page but rather a template of the site with html5video/mp4 players in the page for each video that we uploaded?
There's no real reason to do this using Wordpress. In fact, it would certainly be more work doing it in Wordpress. A decent way to do this would perhaps create a php page with your template/html5 player, and having this page parse a GET variable to display the video. That way you can send your clients links like http://mysite.com/video_preview.php?videofile=somevideofile.mp4
For example:
Directory Structure:
example.com/
previews/
video_preview.php
someVideo.mp4
Then in video_preview.php, you can parse a GET variable and display any page you want. Here's a rough example.
<?php $video = $_GET['videofile'] ?>
<html>
// The HTML you want to use for the template. All CSS/JS, etc, etc...make it look pretty. (or dow't)
// Then you'd call your video player, however you want to do that. Basically, you just dynamically choose the video file based on the URL your client clicks.
<player src=<?php echo $video ?>
</html>
I wish I had WordPress ten years ago when I was hand crafting all those client pages in Dreamweaver...
The only caveat right now is the file size that can be uploaded directly in WP. But this can be solved uploading via FTP to a custom folder and doing a video player Shortcode to render player+posterframe:
[vplay file="http://example.com/custom/video.mp4" poster="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/picture.jpg"]
A custom page template, for example, with customized header and footer, that after page creation would have a URL like: http://example.com/clients/project-name/.
Password protected for the client's convenience, or some membership in the site for restricted content. Comments form enabled for internal communication. Image gallery if necessary. Among other goodies.
What's good about YouTube and Vimeo are the privacy options and doing the web-format rendering for you. In this WordPress Answers, Video tutorials in dashboard, I write about the options.
Can anyone help with this issue?
We need some free tool (or maybe some technology) to use it on HTML page. Our site users have photo albums.. Something like gallery. It's already uploaded.
And the main purpose is to let the users create some animation or even movie from these photos and add there some soundtrack..
Sountrack could be uploaded directly into this tool.
We thought about html5, Js but it's not reliable and not covertible (we also want this animation be convertible to some video format).
Help! Thanx...
