I am trying to display just one embedded video from a multiple value CCK video emfield.

I created a filter with Is equal to. In the filter I then enter the URL of the video - but the problem is that it always returns all videos from the CCK emfield, not just the one with the URL I specified.

The result is always the same, no matter which of the video URL's I enter. It filters using the URL value because when I enter a non-existent URL it returns no results, as expected.

Perhaps I am going about this issue in the wrong way - is there any other way to filter for specific emfield videos in a multi-value field? I've tried everything I can think of but haven't been able to get anything to work yet.

I should have mentioned that the above issue is in relation to the Views 2 integration of the module.

Having look at this a little more closely, it seems as if the multi-value CCK video emfield is not being passed to Views or the theme layer as usually expected: with an array of variables that give me access to each of the CCK fields inside. ie: field_video_fid[0,1,2..]['view']

Due to this, it can only be access as a complete "package", ie. all of the video data is lumped together, without an array to access individual video data. From the View theme, I can only call the variable $fields['field_video_embed']->content which then outputs all of the videos inside of the multi-value CCK video emfield with no option to choose which one I want to output.

I tried to access individual data fields from the Field Content: Video theme layer but still with no luck.

Does anyone know how this is possible to do?

I'm even just trying to display each value from the nodes that have emfields and it doesn't seem to work. Works n.p. when I have arguments passed to a block that displays videos but does nothin when it's a page... any thoughts?
