to vPIP

I am happy to report that, on punkcast,.after over 7 years of
sticking with my old template - which
launched realplayer fullscreen externally - I have migrated to vPIP.

See http://punkcast.com/1317

You'll see that I'm sticking with the real as an option - I'm
disappointed that can't be
included in the vPIP too, but that's OK.

I also note that vPIP totally trashes my previously immaculately
validating HTML4.0 transitional, but that's ok too.

What I'd like to know is how can can I, in the most simple & snazzy
manner possible, eg a drop-down - provide an embed link?

Thanks for attention.

Joly - What I do to get a one of my regular posts on a non-wordpress
site is just copy the embed code from my wordpress site and plop it
into a regular html page on another site. Take a look at
http://oyate.com/ - And you can see that it includes the embed code
when you do that.

Yes, I'm going in the opposite direction - from plain html.

In the share text of the vid on your site it first runs a script that
passes a specific id 1204836370312 - to vPIP.js to play the file.
And then in the embed code another id 1208818803327 is involved
What are these for and how are they generated?

Thanks for attention.

They're generated by vpip.js to try to match the embed code to the site where it came from.

So how do I implement that in my standalone html site?

Sorry, the code only works now through the Wordpess plugin.

How to Code vPIP in HTML

vPIP uses standard HTML in a specific structure to emded Quicktime, Windows Media and Flash applications (SWF) movies. The structure is a
<div class="hvlog"...> tag containing a <a href=... rel="enclosure"... onclick="vPIPPlay(this{, '...'}); return false" ...> link tag. Usually the link reference is a poster image for the movie, <img src=...>, or text description. An example of a minimal vPIP HTML is:

   <div class="hvlog">
      <a href="http://www.myserver.com/media/myMovie.mov" rel="enclosure" title="My Movie!" onclick="vPIPPlay(this); return false;">
         <img src="http://www.myserver.com/images/myMovie.jpg" />
      </a>
   </div>

So the solution could be to set up a dummy wordpress?

This is an interesting question. I have used vPIP on a bunch of my
sites, some were WP and some were plain old HTML sites. And yes it
does seem that only the WP versions have the embed stuff. I never
thought about it before, but it's actually a little strange. Enric -
does it have to do with WP being a content management system and
working with a database?

Yes, you could setup a dummy or shadow Wordpress blog to generate the embed code for the static page.

No that stuff works fine - it's just adding embed codes that
seems to be a problem.

I don't understand why the vPIP.js needs those extra site specific parameters - maybe
you could explain Enric?

It has to do with the feature requests of those involved in SIAB.  It takes a bit of time and work to make capabilities given to SIAB generally available.

It's an attempt to match to the vpip.js file from the originating embed code.  So, if there are several embeds pointing to different sites with different version of vpip.js, they would try to match.  However, I don't think it works well, since browsers tend to force using the last vpip.js reference on the page.
