Remote Embedding

Simple hyperlinking, plan A

Link to the Internet Archive item description page. This is "safe" but the video is slightly obfuscated pending better in-browser playback.


Simple hyperlinking, plan B

Link directly to any OpenMeetings.org page. This should be fine for playback in mid-Atlantic area, but fairly spotty for other areas due to a lack of a content delivery network and use of shared hosting. This goes for embed code too, but perhaps to a lesser extent as there's less JavaScript involved.


Embed code

Use the embed code for either the entire meeting or a clip -- note the embed code changes according to if you are looking at the entire meeting (click "Meeting Overview") or just a clip (streams default to the first 20 min.). This provides a playback wrapper and bundled transcripts.

Example: http://html5videotest.blogspot.com/
Be sure to click the caption button on the bottom edge.

Also, it may help to move the:

<script src='http://openmeetings.org/w/js2/mwEmbed/mv_embed.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

bit into the HTML <head>. Note that use of transcluded JavaScript is not necessarily "safe" from a browser security standpoint, and that remote site traffic data is sent to OpenMeetings.org.

Copying raw video

Copy the raw video, or clips thereof, into the remote site via the <video> tag. This approach is a bit advanced; the embed code takes care of a lot of in-browser playback magic.

To obtain valid clips in Fireofx, right-click on the video clip during playback and select "Save Video As...". Alternatively, use a URL of the following form:

http://openmeetings.org/archives/streamname.ogv?t=0:20:00/0:24:22
