Yes, many thanks, this is what i'm trying to do.
Thanks, So,... If the site with the video offers the, (preferably) iframe code use that?
also i think i could 'nick' the code there and use it for others.
In this case a video i've downloaded, would that same code work for an uploaded video?
I suppose i'm thinking (cos i'm awkward!) to have a snippet of code that i can store and adjust it for an uploaded video.
Oh eck! looking at the API embed legal stuff on youtube, (this ones youtube, boooo!) theres a lot of legal stuff there.
I don't want to do anything wrong for hive, what's your opinion?
Scusa, I seem to have missed that.
Probably not a good idea, since each platform has their own attributes and variables nested inside the provided snippet, also, like I mentioned;
<iframe>will only work if the external site allows CORS.No, that's not inline-frames work, basically, an iframe is like a small container of an external webpage, or a part/element of that webpage, it's not stored on the host site, on the other hand, directly uploaded content are, so to answer your question, you don't need any code for that, once your video is uploaded it will render as part of the platform you're using, not inside a frame, hope that makes sense.
I'm not sure what you mean here, what about the Api? Expand, please?
Many thanks, was somebody else that said i should embed, i'm ok with just a link, given what you've said, i think all is well if i simply add the link and let whatever front end it appears on to do what it wants.
if i add a load of code, then like you say, that might simply make a mess.
otherwise i'm happy simply puting in a link, i'm also quite happy to add the bits. as a guess any front end will be also happy with that.
So i guess in the end everything is fine as it is,
the API bit, it was suggested to have where video came from, in this case youtube, but the same pops up everywhere anyway. and i went to get there 'embed' code. and it came up with a ton of 'by using this you agree's', etc.
So i panicked, ran around the place waving my hands frantically in the air and thought 'ok, maybe not'.
