The output function for the emvideo provider bliptv.inc was broken, the correct code got never inserted into the object-tag-output.
The attached patch fixes this with a minimum of code - however it's based on -enzo-'s emfield_generic version of the module from http://drupal.org/node/172007#comment-1140507 - though it should work with the current 6.x branch fo the regular emfield module.

Thanks, I ended up having to use this patch with the emfield_generic module, it didn't work with the regular emfield module. But the generic works great for me, so hooray :)

patch doesn't work in the 6.x version (although the current behavior doesn't seem broken to me).

it doesn't respect $embed_code = $item['data']['flv']['embed_code']['0'];

I re-rolled the patch against 6.x-dev (since blip still didn't embed properly after updating), and made the change match the structure of the $items array passed on by cck.

@jhedstrom - your method is incorrect: it gives you the blip.tv id, not the flash file id, which is needed to embed correctly.

What exactly is the problem here?

The latest release of emfield fixes this issue.

@jhedstrom -- which fixed it for you, the latest stable release, 6.x-1.2 - 2009-May-29, or a dev release?

jhedstrom’s picture

@Benjamin Melançon it's working in the latest stable release.

Can someone please confirm whether or not the 6.x patch posted by jhedstrom on Feb 23 works?

Even after updating to today's 6.x-1.4 release I'm still getting nothing but white space where the embedded blip.tv player should be. Youtube and others work with my emfield installation, manually inserting blip.tv embed code into story works, I just can't get blip.tv embeds to work with emfield...

...so am trying to determine the patch mentioned above is works/is worth trying.

@malacoda: blip.tv embeds work fine for me with the latest release and the dev version, but you need to use the URL rather than the embed code. see #293153: Can't use Blip.tv Embed Code instead of URL for more details.

Aaron, thanks! That did the trick - embed code doesn't work but use the URL instead per your suggestion and everything works as it should. Really appreciate you pointing me to the link, not to mention all the work you've put into making the module available.

I'm having troubles making any version of the module after 1.4 work - including the latest dev release. It isn't recording any data about the video other than the original URL - the data column in MySQL just has "N;".

Thus, I am getting a blank embed with the src of "http://blip.tv/play".

Once I downgraded the module, I was able to re-save nodes, and the data was recorded.

Any ideas? All other modules are up to date. This is on a dedicated CentOS machine that is also up to date.

@Matt Townsend, your issue has nothing to do with this issue, and is more likely related to #588134: WSOD and Blank Fields after Upgrade to 6.x-1.5 or later. i'm closing this issue again so as to not confuse things.

thanks,
aaron
