Port Media: BlipTV to Drupal 7

subscribing.

@aaron We just updated media_archive yesterday using a lookup and store function that will work for blip.tv as well. I have a working version for D7 I can commit.

I would love to help on this if there is any way I can. I am looking at the YouTube implementation to see if there is anything from there I could use and start moving this forward.

Darn, this module is my D7 migration blocker. Any word on what needs to be done here? So far aaron is silent on this one....

I've done most of the work needed to do this, based off the youtube module. The only thing I haven't really done properly is the thumbnails and video sizes; I've hardcoded the sizes for my purposes.

The thumbnails require a patch to Media to support namespaces in rss feeds; which I posted a bug report about.

Here is a patch of #7 + some bugfixes and more verbose commenting. It should apply cleanly to the 7.x-1.x branch.

I rerolled #9 with very slight code style clean-up and removal of the d.o. .info file timestamp.

Just to keep the issues connected, the issue @JamesSharpe referred to is #1116212: Support for xml namespaces

It has been pushed to the Media 2.x branch, but wasn't included in @tsvenson's #1241564: [meta] Proposal for features needed for a full 2.0 release of the Media module

The current patches needed a lot more work to get on par with media_youtube. Instead I started with a media_youtube as of AUG-3 and and added the BlipTV changes again. I've committed this to a sandbox project rather than continue to work patches that basically a rewrite of the entire module.

I haven't tested everything, but the core functions work. Add URL, get video and thumbnail. I did find that delete had the same issue as media_youtube with media-beta5 #1235852: The file was not deleted due to an error.

Subscribe, i will test this module on my media setup asap and provide feedback.

Would love to test this once it gets a bit more stable.

#13 Seems to be working well on desktops PC and Mac, but the embed code is not working on iphone or android devices. Where would one look to correct this?

The problem I am encountering with this module is that urls from BlipTV are not being accepted. This issue seems to have been caused by BlipTV changing its video urls to include the titles of the videos. Many people have posted about this issue for D6 (http://drupal.org/node/1160234) and there are some patches. Those patches won't help me since I'm working with D7. Does anyone know how to solve this issue for D7?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've committed the version of media_blipv we've been using with media_feeds on http://accessvision.tv for several months. I've also exposed the dev snapshot.

I haven't been using Blip as a provider to manually add media to a field or with the WYSIWYG integration, so it's possible there are still issues with that.

PLEASE... if you find an issue with the D7 branch of media_blip, open a new issue and be as specific as possible with the steps to reproduce the problem.

I've tested it and it almost works. At least:

- adding blip.tv media via the media add button on node add/edit works.
- playing blip.tv media from menu > content > media > click media name works.

It does not work on the node view (most of the times it does not) and the same goes for views for some reason.
I get a white block on the node view where the player should be, but looks like your getting close! No errors in the logs.

When i check the source of the page where the video is Not working (some node with a blip.tv video) i notice that it looks like the formatting is youtube-style:

<div id="node-17" class="node node-video node-full clearfix" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" about="/video/bliptv-test">
...
<div id="media-bliptv-1" class="media-bliptv-outer-wrapper" style="width: 480px; height: 360px;">
<div id="media_bliptv_hexkguOFYgI_1" class="media-bliptv-preview-wrapper">
<object width="480" height="360">
<param value="http://www.blip.tv/v/hexkguOFYgI" name="movie">
<param value="true" name="allowFullScreen">
<param value="transparent" name="wmode">
<embed width="480" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.blip.tv/v/hexkguOFYgI">
...

while the page i visit from menu > content > media > 'click media title' works and renders the iframe with the player.

I currently use:
- media 1.x dev
- media 1.x youtube dev
- media 1.x blip.tv dev

my bet is confirmed now. Check out file includes/themes/media_bliptv.theme.inc and check the embed.
/v/ should be /play/

patch is next.

I hope the patch is ok, first one since a while.

Lets try that again (forgot to change the param)

Also getting an error with Internet Explorer. Doesn't work, and it seems the full screen button doesn't work either.
