Re: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player

[Rupert]

OK.  I left out the part where I should have said "copy and paste the  
code".  I think you might be so frustrated with it all that you're  
looking too hard.

You're on the video page, you've clicked Share, chosen Embed and  
clicked Go - then just copy the code that appears.  Don't click "Edit  
player customizations."  The code you're supposed to be embedding  
starts with this:
http://blip.tv/play/...

That's what you want to copy and paste into your page.  Just that.   
It's in a big box directly under the thing you've just clicked.

Like I said, you can just leave the setting on the Default Show  
Player.  As I said before, this "Default Show Player" is not the  
other Whole Show Player you've been embedding, this is a different  
single episode player.  Or, if you want to use your customized player  
with the branding and color changes you made in the Manage Show  
Player section, you can choose it by clicking "Default Show Player" -  
a menu will pop up and you can choose your own player.  That will  
change the embed code, and you can copy that.

your directions and I guess I must have a hole in my head ..LOL  
because I still can't get it to work ..so let me answer your  
questions and then tell you what I have done thus far.

1. Yes I just want to add 1 video for each segment.
2 . Yes I am talking about embedding seperate single videos using a  
customized player.

So I did what you said and I went to my Dashobard and click on "see  
all your posts" ..My 4 videos showed up ..I then clicked on 1 of them  
and as you said on the right side clicked on embed ..then the box  
next to it had the options show player ..legacy player ...or  
wordpress.com ...I left it on show player ...

then the only option under the code is Edit Player  
Customizations ..when you click on this it takes you back to the  
"manage Show Player page" Where I chose all the individual options  
for each page that I wanted.

In General I added my name * clicked on Single Episode * and  
unchecked the share and embed option

In branding I added my own name and left the blip Url

Guide I had no clue so I left it checked Use this guide

Colors I chose my colors

Features I unchecked the share and embed code

and in the preview section the player is correct but it isn't showing  
the video segment that I clicked on to begin with.

O.k. that is where I am at ...I'm am sorry to be so naive about  
this ..It sure seems like a very simple process ..so I feel so stupid  
not getting this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help ..

Re: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player

Yes, internet explorer is a bit of a pain, but Blip should have their  
site tested to work with IE, since it's still the most popular  
browser, I think.  I think maybe they're Mac users.
Firefox is good, it's what I use on my Mac, and Blip works fine with  
it, as do most things.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player

[Charles Hope]

Sara, I think I've figured out why you didn't get a helpful response
from your original support e-mail.  Emily responded?  We don't have any
Emily working with us!  Are you absolutely certain that you sent the
e-mail to supp...@blip.tv? Not .com or .fm? It is good to use the form
at , because not only is it certain to avoid the
unhelpful Emily, but it also gives us information about your set up
which can help us diagnose problems.

We do test on Internet Explorer versions 6 & 7.  If something is screwy,
we'd be very interested in the details so we can try to reproduce it.

Thanks again, Rupert, for your help!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player

[Rupert]

I don't know how to do that.  Looking at the options, as you have, I  
can't see a way to do it.  I'm surprised, because almost everything  
else you can turn on or off.  There might be a parameter you can put  
into the Advanced section - try using the form on the Blip site to  
ask them.

up that has two options ...More and Again ...How do I disable that  
box ..or change the setting for that ..because when you click the

I am trying to add a Welcome video to my main page ..But I sure don't

O.k. once again ,..Thanks..Sara

You could also emal the site you want to mimic. If they have figured
out the way you want to cusyomize, Im sure they'll clue you in.
Could you share this site you are working on?
Itll help us understand what you;re trying to do.
