Fixed LiveLeak embedded video not showing on iOS

[AndyB]

I just created a new thread here:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/test-thread-with-liveleak-as-first-post.55548/

I can see the embedded video on my iMac, but not on my iPad.

The embed code is Flash so this isn't unexpected.

I think they may have updated their embed code, Mike. Looking at one on their site, I see an iFrame versus Flash. I haven't compared to XenForo's implementation tho.

Hi Mike,

On my forum running 1.2b5 I have the same LiveLeak video embedded as in post #1 and I can see/play it just fine.

@Mike:

Embed code in 1.2:

<object width="500" height="300">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.liveleak.com/e/{$id}"></param>
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
    <embed src="http://www.liveleak.com/e/{$id}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="300"></embed>
</object>

Embed Code on Liveleak:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.liveleak.com/ll_embed?f={$not_id}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Not sure if embedding the new way with $id will work or not.

This is what I use on my forum for LiveLeak "Embed HTML":

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.liveleak.com/ll_embed?i={$id}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I don't think the iframe version can be used since the ID passed to it is not in the page URL, at least in my tests.

 

[Jeremy]

I just tested AndyB's embed code (using i= instead of f=) and it indeed works.

 

[Mike]

Aha, I was looking for docs on that and I couldn't find anything...

It would be pointless to worry anyways because the iframe player is just the flash player in an iframe so its not really going to work on an ithing anyways

I believe the new embed will determine whether or not it can play flash and show an alternative version or not. I posted on my localhost and don't feel like setting up my phone to see it, but I would assume the iFrame is switching between the two.

 

[AndyB]

Works great now, Mike, thanks for fixing this.

 

[Mike]

I've updated the default embeds for 1.2 for LiveLeak and Metacafe to use their <iframe> methods.

I just tried it ...it doesn't

If you are testing on your computer (even with a changed user agent), it still displays flash. If you use an actual device, it does indeed switch.

I tested with an ithing

 

[Jeremy]

On here or your own install? Can you send me a link?

 

[EQnoble]
