Blip.tv doesnt work

I am experiencing the same problem with blip.tv. The RSS/API returned in video_cck_bliptv_request does not contain the FLV link, even though that link appears when you access the RSS directly from the blip.tv site. I assume the problem to be in emfield_request_xml.

i have a simiar problem. I've implemented embedded media field as simply as one can. blip.tv is enabled in the settings for emfield, but copying the url of the site when i create a node doesnt give me any output. the only way to get an output is using full html and copying the embed code into the body of the node. but not with emfield.

in firebug i see all the stats from the blip URL in emfield (as opposed to the embed code in the body) but the emfield output is hidden. if someone knows why i'd love to know.

and if anyone knows why the video flickers and disassembles itself when my page is large enough where you can scroll???? which is the case in most blogs. i've had to make my front page as small and static as possible. <--- just found the fix for this last problem in the following post. http://drupal.org/node/181998#comment-613191
Had to do with opacity setting in the admin_menu module, and simple css fix. sorry this last part is sort of off topic for this last thread, but it was driving me nuts, and maybe someone else has had this issue.

As far as the original issue, i'm going to try reordering my input filters, in the input format settings for my content type, perhaps this is the problem. URL filter? disable maybe? i'll let you know.

Can you try the dev version and see if it works? I am using the dev version on a few sites and can't replicate the problem.

Hi guys, I'm Justin Day the CTO over at blip.tv. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help facilitate a fix here. You can contact me direct at justin@blip.tv. Thanks! Justin

working on this today.

the latest dev version now works (except for autoplay). haven't tested rss yet, but that should still work. i need to test a few more times tomorrow to make sure there's nothing unexpected.

i also have some code in there to grab 'featured shows' as well, when a person puts in a channel URL rather than a post URL, but have that commented out for now. not sure if people want it, since it just will embed the most recent show, rather than an individual post, making things confusing for the end user/editor. add a feature request if you want that.

for older blip.tv videos that don't show a video, you need to rebuild the embed data. you can do that either by editing an individual node and submitting that, or by going to admin/content/node, selecting the nodes you want to fix, selecting 'Rebuild Embedded Media Data' from the 'Update Options' drop-down, and pressing 'Update'.

thanks aaron, i'll give it another shot.

I installed 5.x-1.x-dev today and blip.tv isn't working. It's displaying a white screen with no image.

This is the html code that is being displayed:

<embed src="<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?enablejs=true&feedurl=http%3A%2F%2Fl0ckergn0me%2Eblip%2Etv%2Frss&file=http%3A%2F%2Fblip%2Etv%2Frss%2Fflash%2F888449%3Freferrer%3Dblip%2Etv%26source%3D1&showplay" width="425" height="350" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

Update:blip.tv is working for me.

Thumbnails don't seem to work at all. Also, I've needed to output the blip video using the following code in my node.tpl.php file:

print $node->field_video_demonstration[0]['embed'];

Normally, we can simply use:

print $content;

'video_demonstration' is the name I've given my CCK embedded video field, so you'll have to change it to reflect the name of your own field.

Did you rebuild the embedded media data as Aaron suggested?

No, I didn't have any data but I'll try that. Basically I installed the module from fresh two days ago.

I also can't get Blip.tv to work with emfield
works all fine with Vimeo, but Blip just displays a 'see video' link without thumbnail. when i click on it, no video is shown.

after reading through the posts above, i installed emfield-6.x-1.x-dev
i also rebuild the data for video in question.

still the same problem.

the link i am trying to display is a .flv file.

since this thread is already a few years old, i thought it wouldn't be an issue. any ideas why?

Try using the External Link for your episodes/videos rather than the Embed Code.

Marking as closeed, since aaron fixed this in the 5.x-1.x-dev version.
