Hi,

If you use the Custom URL provider to link to a flash video, it doesn't work because the applet expects an absolute path to the video file. This patch uses $base_url to insert it automatically.

Enjoy!

Yeah I've found this to be the case as well. However, the fix provided by @deviantintegral may not be the best way to go about it. The Custom URL provider (and I believe the whole of emfield because it's implemented in the API and not in the provider) will strip the $base_url component. Instead, I suggest preceding the drupal path with a slash '/' character. Since I'm not the maintainer I can't change the status of this issue to anything.

Yeah, if you use the global URL here, items that reference stuff outside the domain will break.

I'm not a dev. but might this be the reason why I don't see the 1Pixelout player when pasting in url's to mp3 files on a different server?
