[videoblogging] Seeking Channel Player embed code.: Bl;ipTV & YouTube

2009-10-15 Thread ratbagradio
As an  experiment in video packaging I want to showcase a few online channels 
on the one web site.

The best way to do this is to embed each channels' show player.

So I was seeking some assistance is obtaining the following DIY:

* YouTube channel players are packaged as gadgets. The standard one on offer is 
simply terrible -- 5 episodes and very small screen. So I'm looking for the 
embed code that will deliver for a working YouTube channel. Those I've tried 
amongst those listed don't work or maybe there is  knack to getting them to 
work. Any suggested code sources? Recommendations?

*BlipTV channel players are simply the best. But many BlipTV channels only 
offer as default player the 'latest episode'. I want the latest episode AND a 
selection option in the right side panel. Maybe the code can be hacked, but is 
there an easy way to get the code for selected channels? I can create one for 
customized playlists by selecting content, but I wanted code specific to 
selected whole channels. That is the player you are offered on each channel's 
show page.

Otherwise I'll have to approach each channel directly and request them to 
supply episode listing as a embed code  option

Yeah! Thanks Rupert for posting the link JC's 80's vids. I had only seen one
or two of them so far - and don't visit enough! I love these. I wonder how
many folks have drawers of this stuff sitting around. I think it's
interesting - and John I'm glad you decided to revive them.

Ahhh glorious VHS 80's awesome-ocity.

Re: [videoblogging] Sports highlight footage?

2009-10-15 Thread sull
"Consider the use of sports highlight footage by competing television
networks. The networks have a mutual agreement whereby they can air the
highlight footage, in return for letting other networks air the highlights
to which they have exclusive rights. Even though the highlights are short,
they are the most valuable part of a recording of a sports event. To the
extent that it might be argued that "fair use" applied, it would not be to
the highlights, but would be to the routine play in between the highlights -
the type of footage that doesn't make for compelling news coverage. Also,
there are exceptions to the mutual agreement, which is why you will
frequently find that highlight footage from Olympic events is broadcast only
on the network which purchased the rights to broadcast the Olympic games."

http://www.expertlaw.com/library/intellectual_property/fair_use.html
(first google result for: sports highlights fair use)

Unless the point of the project is to rise this issue/debate of fair use for
sports "highlights" (that would be an interesting experiment) then i think
you may eventually risk the possibility of wasting your time by having to
respond to some lawyers and take down the content.

In the spirt of IDGAF, good luck finding more footage.  I don't know of any
specific repoz.

Thanks for the plug Rupert, seems ironic that this is one of the posts that 
ended up in my spam folder. I check it once a week and always find a handful of 
videobloggerss.

  Since you're too modest to post a link to your own videos, I 
will!



Here's the 1980s category from jchtv.com, for those in the mood for  

some VHS nostalgia
