| Dave - Can you enable Dropbox video frame like YouTube | |
Ian Whiteside   22nd Mar 2012 14:39:40 | A lot of people now use dropbox to upload small videos, can you make it that they show a video console frame in the Forum, just like the Youtube files are shown ?
Cheers |
Dave Wave   22nd Mar 2012 14:48:35 | I think dropbox is aimed at sharing files, not embedding into web pages.
Unless I've misunderstood dropbox's capabilities I'd recommend people use youtube for sharing videos. |
Joe Clifford   22nd Mar 2012 18:03:16 | Hello, It Is Possible, Not Sure How You Will Implement It But Here Is The Embeded Code For You Video Ian.
<script type='text/javascript' src='silverlight.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='wmvplayer.js'></script> <div id='container'></div> <script type='text/javascript'> var cnt = document.getElementById('container'); var src = '/jw/embed/wmvplayer.xaml'; var cfg = {height:'250',width:'470',file:'http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34685313/FSX%20Folder/MHTG%20Toncontin%20-%20Downwind%20to%20Touchdown.wmv'}; var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(cnt,src,cfg); </script> Copy And Paste It Into NotePad and save as HTML or something and take a look, It should should |

| Dave Wave 22nd Mar 2012 20:03:41 | Joe, its a bit of a fudge this. YouTube really supports embedding, it encourages it. Drop box does not.
Secondly, with you tube the viewer can use what resolution to view. If users want to share videos please use YouTube rather then try to get something else to work. |
