Re: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player
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.

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

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: embed src=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.

Alright I will go ask them...there must be a way to turn that off ..because they have it turned off on the other video I mentioned...I kind of figured it was in advanced ..but hated to go messing with things I don't know well enough about .. 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. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790
RE: [videoblogging] Re: manage Show Player
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 http://blip.tv/help/, 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!

You're talking about embedding separate single videos using your customised player? The trick is not to embed from My Show but to embed from the individual video post page. Go to your Dashboard and click on a video to go to its page. Click Share, on the right hand side, and choose Embed from the menu that pops up, then click Go. You should now see the embed code for that individual video, with a menu that says Custom Player Style: Default Show Player. You can just use this setting to embed an individual video - it's different from the My Show player, confusingly. Or you can choose a customized player with your own choice of buttons and colors, by clicking the Custom Player Style menu, and choosing your custom player from the menu. If you've created and saved a custom player correctly, you will have given it its own name. The other thing you can do is combine more than one video in a custom player, using Playlists. Add as many videos as you want to a Playlist, and then either use the standard embed code in the Playlist section, or create your own custom player and change Type to Playlist - then choose the playlist you've created. Weird that Blip haven't replied - they're usually super efficient at replying - it's always been one of the best things about them.
