Embed a video in v2.3.+

[kenkja]

Hi all

 

I have a v.2.3.1 site which has been upgraded thro 2.3.2 to 2.3.3

 

I know from the forums I should be able to add a video as a large image by adding the html to the add large image section of add new product in admin.

 

Most of the advice I have seen relates to the embedding of a "you tube" video.

 

Being a complete dummy at this stuff I figured that any embed code would do, whoops not so,

 

Heres the embed code I tried to add, could someone try this (create a sample product) and see if works

 

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/27525931?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

 

thanks

if you are looking at this in ie firefox crome or opera and have the adblock plus adon that might be blocking the video. or noScript enabled

the link to the video comes up but it doesn't play!

 

ok,ok it takes forever! it plays

have you tryed adjusting the width and height varibles to match your max large image size?

worked fine for me as it is above

 

you may need a "large image" still, then add the iframe in the text area below it

 

this works too, but people need flash plugin, so you may not want to do this: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" data="http://player.vimeo.com/video/27525931?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1"><param'>http://player.vimeo.com/video/27525931?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1"><param name="movie" value="http://player.vimeo.com/video/27525931?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object>
