embed osm player in external sites

i'm just now downloading it, so I'm not sure it will work, but it is here: http://drupal.org/project/embed_widgets

i've been playing with the 2.x dev version of that module and it's promising. i think i'll have to look at the code to really understand what is going on. i'm hoping i can use a tpl file that loads just when it is embedded that restricts the node contents to just the osm player. it doesn't seem to care about permissions. it is showing everything on the page and i have yet to give the anonymous user rights to do anything other than "access content". cck permissions are turned on, so supposedly, without view perms, anonymous users shouldn't be seeing anything.

now i just finished playing with the 1.x dev version.

i'm not sure which i like better. they are drastically different.

in 2.x, you enable the KINDS of content you want to be embeddable and you simply lookup the embed code on the edit tab (for nodes) or click a link for other kinds.

in 1.x, you can style the embedded content, but you have to do so one at a time with specific content. so you'd have to do one for each video by hand. kind of a pain.

both show all data despite my not having given anonymous users perms to see those fields. but the vids do play using the osm player in both 1.x and 2.x!!!

Thanks for the kudos. I'm afraid due to work, I have had to neglect most of my contributed modules which were developed while at a different company. I do use Drupal at the new job, but it's almost all internal stuff unfortunately and although I have time to contribute to existing projects, I can't afford the time to create anything from scratch or maintain my old stuff. :( But the contribution I'm annoyed wasn't absorbed is the one I made to CCK. I created a large patch which allowed for nested fieldgroups. This let me have fieldgroups inside of fieldgroup tabs (another module), as well as multigroups inside of those same tabs. It also had the side effect of exposing a couple of new hooks for other modules to use to manipulate the field structure of the node. Perhaps I'll try again once D7 is out if that feature isn't included. I also freelance on the side, usually for other developers.

Anyway, I'm creating an internal media server and after looking over the current options, I'll be using your module for sure. So I'll be happy to help where I can.

As for embedding, I think I'll try and make the 2.x version of the above-mentioned module work. The fact that you can set the KINDS of things you want to have embedded, rather than individually creating each item, is huge. I just have to figure out the permissions issue as well as some formatting stuff.

the embedding works great using the module i mentioned. one just needs to adjust some css. i will post more details of what i did once i'm done dialing things in.

As an fyi, this is what i did. Hopefully the screenshots make sense.

In images 1-3, you see the standard embed widget settings. I believe I'm using version 2 which lets you make settings by content type, rather than per node.

Image 4 is a special block i built to aid my video uploaders/embedders in overriding the embed settings as seen in image 5. This is to accommodate both the size of the player I'm using as well as a little border around the edge of like 5 pixels. Note that the default size takes into account the widest dimension and the tallest. In my case those are not found in the same content type. I have a short, wide 16:9 size and a narrower, taller 4:3 size.

Because I use embedding - in this case into both SharePoint and other Drupal sites - viewers are anonymous. They don't know about the video server as the presentation is seamless. So all metadata fields that I have on the video nodes are hidden to them and the embed iFrame fits just the video player. You could alternatively grant view permission to any other fields you include on your video nodes and then grant anonymous users view permission for those fields and adjust the dimensions of the embed accordingly.
