Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.As mentioned in previous issues with Blip.tv it didn't work to use the provided embed code (#293153: Can't use Blip.tv Embed Code instead of URL). This was changed so you could only use the blip.tv/files/*** url to add a video.
After using the latest emfield release I saw that the link to the video in the src of the embed code only existed out of "blip.tv/play/" as also metioned in #573730: Blank box and "Movie not loaded". This obviously doesn't work.
When I fiddled around with the code in bliptv.inc I found that $embed_code was empty. After trying different things it looks like Blip.tv supports the embed code again.
With hard coding for example the blip.tv/file/3333 url the player doesn't work, also blip.tv/play/3333 doesn't work. When I tried blip.tv/play/AbSgXIvaWg it worked perfectly!
So it looks like the embedd code from blip.tv can now be used with emfield again.
My programming skills are not good enough to rewrite bliptv.inc to make it work again, so a little help would be appreciated.

calebgilbert commentedHere is a patch gets blip.tv working again in the 5.x-1.x-dev 2009-Dec-09 version. I'm not sure about other versions, but putting here as to not create a duplicate issue. This gets rid of the "You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code." for blip.tv

alex ua commentedThis was fixed a while ago. If you have any additional blip issues, please open an issue on the Media: BlipTV issue queue.
