In reply to: WordPress rich text editor corrupts blip.tv cross posted videosand still no solution…someone has to know how to work this problem out?
blip.tv can’t work it out…..and a heap of people are using the blip.tv/wordpress formulae for vlog sites, so there has to be an answer out there…apart from going back to editing the html code of posts
only solution seems to be re cross posting my vids from blip.tv…and hoping the problem doesnt happen again
this might help people getting their videos hosted at blip.tv – my vids wouldnt play on site, only ask to download flv, here is blip.tv’s solution:
“OK. I just took a look at this. Here’s the problem:
<script type=”text/javascript”></script><script
type=”text/javascript”></script>That’s what our code looks like in the ones that don’t work. Here’s
what it’s supposed to look like (and what it looks like on your most
recent one):<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://blip.tv/scripts/pokkariPlayer.js”></script><script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://blip.tv/syndication/write_player?skin=js&posts_id=141603
&source=3&autoplay=true&file_type=flv&player_width=&
player_height=”></script>So what did you do differently with these two? My guess would be that
you may have used different accounts to cross-post them, that you may
have changed permissions for the account you are using (giving the
account more permission to write more advanced HTML) or that you edited
those previous posts in the Rich Text Editor (which means that they
would have worked at first, but broken after you edited them).”my site http://www.overlander.tv/wordpress currently on plays the nimbin vid, all other vids just download flv file
blip.tv have just informed me why the videos dont play embedded in my site and instead just try and download flv:
So I think the problem here is that WordPress thinks it’s smarter than
you. This causes problems in two ways.First of all, when you use their rich text editor to edit (or copy &
paste) anything that includes JavaScript or Flash, it tears the whole
thing apart because it’s not sure if you’re writing code that’s supposed
to be interperted or writing stuff that’s supposed to appear verbatim.The second problem is that WordPress, after already kind of uncertainly
treating the copy & paste code (or the cross-posted code when you edit
it) will then try to “balance” and otherwise “fix” your HTML. This,
again, can cause all sorts of problems with “advanced” code. Believe me
when I say that we never send a “<u />” through to you. That’s
something that WordPress did because it thought it should. I’m sure
that at some point something was underlined, and it’s likely that WP’s
parser couldn’t easily find the end of the thing that was underlined.
Something like that.blip.tv inform me the videos are not playing on my site (and instead asking to download .flv) is an issue with WordPress HTML filtering. Trying to work out now
I got rid of <u /> in one of the posts that had everything underlined…and it got rid of the underlining for all the posts that had all the texts underlined
As to why only one movie plays embedded on my site, while the others, when clicked on try to download a flv file…I still don’t know

In reply to: Setting up a Vblog site using wordpressWell I spoke a little soon!
blip.tv isnt one’s only option..you can share ad revenue at sites like revver and metacafe
it seems my video transfers from blip.tv have a bit of a problem…two videos load, with no photo image while loading
I know that wildcast.net and freshtopia.net do video posts from blip.tv also…so maybe it is just the anarchy player that leads to this hassle
any suggestions..other than a stiff drink!
