Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
blip.tv gives url's like: http://blip.tv/file/177952/ but embed code like:
<embed wmode="transparent" src="http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/blipplayer.swf?autoStart=false&file=http://blip.tv/file/get/Make-WhatDoYouMake201.flv%3Fsource%3D3" quality="high" width="640" height="480" name="movie" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
the only api i can find there is for upload. note to self: email them to find out if they have an api that will return the flv filename or whatever we need to better support. also thumbnails, while we're at it.

charles.hope CreditAttribution: charles.hope commentedYour best bet is probably to use the RSS URL and parse that. Simply append
?skin=rss
to the end of the URL in question. Hence, the RSS version of the example video is athttp://blip.tv/file/177952?skin=rss
. In XPath syntax, the actual video files are then found at/rss/channel/item/enclosure/@url
and/rss/channel/item/media:group/media:content/@url
. The thumbnail is found at/rss/channel/item/media:thumbnail/@url

chellman CreditAttribution: chellman commentedHas there been any progress on this? I see nothing in the current build, and I'm able to have a go at it, but I don't want to do it if aaron's already on the case.

chellman CreditAttribution: chellman commentedOkay, I've just whipped up a quick bliptv.inc file (renamed .txt so it will attach) that works for me in Drupal 5.1 using the blip.tv embed code. If it helps as a starting point, great!
