Embedding Videos and Myspace Players  into posts EASILY!

Just so you guys are aware. I find that embedding a video into a review really helps right there and then for the reader to find out what that persons sounds and looks like. Embedding video on Altsounds is as easy and getting a glass of water.

We currently support about 100 of the most popular video channels and if it doesn't work well hey at least the link is still there!!

Basically open up a window with your favourite video provider - Myspace, Youtube etc and search for the video you want. When you have found it take the URL of the page from your address bar and just paste it into the thread wherever you want the video to appear. Just make sure that it shows in your editor as a link. If not highlight the unlinked URL, click in your toolbar and paste the url into the popup again. Usually the editor will make it a link itself but that previous info was just incase it does not.

Submit your post and voila! Instant embedding with no worries or hassle for you. Now how easy was that?? VERY!

EDIT: I also just coded one for the Myspace Music player. Enter the url i.e. OpenDNS and the player will auto embed.

E.G. MySpace.com - Bleed Electric BRAND NEW PROFILE - Cardiff, UK - Electronica / Alternative / Breakbeat - www.myspace.com/bleedelectricuk

Also great for reviews.

I tried to do it, but I think it messed up a little and added some extra script on my page? So I moved it to the bottom of the review.

Lina

For Myspace it seems they have slightly changed their URL structure. You need to take the VIDEO URL show on the page under the player where the url is myspace tv and not vids.myspace.com like you put.

Aaaahhhh OK. The extra script turned into a scary death metal music player, quite traumatising, haha. I'll try the other way now.

Hooray it works! I think I changed it as I didn't realised you had fixed it, but it seems to be working ok now.
