XF 1.5 BB Code for Media Site

[RSI]

Does anyone have the BB Code info to embed videos from Fox News (foxnews.com)? I need to add it to the BB Code Media Sites list if possible. They may have restrictions on it, but I'm not sure.

Looks fairly simple.

This is the embed code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//video.foxnews.com/v/embed.js?id=5094247534001&w=466&h=263"></script><noscript>Watch the latest video at <a href="//video.foxnews.com">video.foxnews.com</a></noscript>

From this URL:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/5094247534001/

Note that the "ID" is the same in the embed code as it is in the URL (5094247534001).

So, realistically, it should be just a case of copying and slightly adjusting the definition of one of the existing ones, like Liveleak.

Thanks, I'll try that a play around with it.

For some reason this didn't work when i tested
Edit: this works too, only in the preview i get this

This works for me

<iframe src="//video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id={$id}" width="466" height="263" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

What are you using in Match URLs: ?

I've tried a few things like video.foxnews.com/v/?i={$id} and they don't work.

 

[RSI]

I've tried a lot of different combinations like the below and I cannot get it to work.

video.foxnews.com/v/view?video_id={$id}

video.foxnews.com/view?video_id={$id}
.

What are you using in Match URLs: ?

http://video.foxnews.com/v/{$id}/

 

[Chris D]

The match URL has to be the URL that you would paste into a post, which would be the URL you see in your browser when you're actually viewing the video normally.

 

[RSI]

http://video.foxnews.com/v/{$id}/

Huh..., I still cannot get it to work

Media Site ID:

foxnews

Site Title:

FoxNews

Site URL:

http://www.foxnews.com

Match URLs:

http://video.foxnews.com/v/{$id}/

Embed HTML:

<iframe src="//video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id={$id}" width="466" height="263" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">

.

I know, I've done this before, but for some reason I cannot get it to work. It's probably something really simple that I'm just missing.

Neither one of the below work...

http://video.foxnews.com/v/{$id}/

https://video.foxnews.com/v/{$id}/

.

 

[RSI]

The direct link to that video is: https://video.foxnews.com/static/p/video/app/embed/iframe/vod.html?video_id=5094247534001

 

[DL6]

The direct link to that video is: https://video.foxnews.com/static/p/video/app/embed/iframe/vod.html?video_id=5094247534001

The link doesn't match with the Match URLs in the settings, you need add this:

https://video.foxnews.com/static/p/video/app/embed/iframe/vod.html?video_id={$id}

 

[Chris D]

This configuration works:



So that when I post the following link:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/5094247534001/?#sp=show-clips

That video loads in the post:


If it isn't working for you then you need to explain which URLs you're trying, where you're getting the URLs from, etc.

 

[RSI]

Thanks, but it did in fact turn out to be something really simple.

When I copied and pasted the Embed HTML: line you posted is was missing the </iframe> on the end My fault...

 

[RSI]

Only one big problem, I forgot you could not embed non-secure http video on a secure https page My whole domain is SSL now.

Guess I should have made sure I could load the videos using https in the address first


.

 

[Chris D]

If you replace the iframe src in the Embed HTML field with this:

https://video.foxnews.com/static/p/video/app/embed/iframe/vod.html?video_id={$id}

does that solve it?

 

[RSI]

I'm actally trying to use the below. I had only posted that other direct link to try and figure out what was going on before.

Neither one of the below work

<iframe src="//video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id={id}" width="500" height="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

<iframe src="http://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id={id}" width="500" height="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

 

[RSI]

Nor does this one work

<iframe src="https://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id={id}" width="500" height="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

And this was used in the post: http://video.foxnews.com/v/5094247534001/?#sp=show-clips
.

 

[Chris D]

This iframe URL works for me (through the iframe and if I open it directly in the browser):
https://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id=5543008008001

Full iframe code:

<iframe src="https://video.foxnews.com/v/video-embed.html?video_id={$id}" width="500" height="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

 

[RSI]

This is really odd....

During lunch I put http://video.foxnews.com/v/5094247534001/?#sp=show-clips in my browser and the video would load and when I tried https://video.foxnews.com/v/5094247534001/?#sp=show-clips it wouldn't. Now when I try https://video.foxnews.com/v/5094247534001/?#sp=show-clips again the video loads.

That is really strange and I still get something has gone wrong... when trying to embed it in a post
