Does anyone know how I can embed the video below into an rss feed and have the output display the video player? <embed FlashVars='config=http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/xml/data_synd.jhtml?vid=78731%26myspace=false' src='http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/syndicated_player/index.jhtml' quality='high' bgcolor='#006699' width='340' height='325' name='comedy_player' align='middle' allowScriptAccess='always' allownetworking='external' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'></embed> Code (markup): I'm trying to place the video on multiple pages using rss and then, when I swap the video on the rss page, it will change on all pages. That way I don't have to replace the video on all pages one at a time. Thank you.
Hold on, let me get this straight. You're trying to take an RSS feed with a video embedded into it, and then parse it into HTML code so you can embed it into a traditional Web page?
Well, I'm not actually "trying" to do that... I've done it... with YouTube videos.... Now I just want to find out how to do it with Comedy Centrals "Mother Load" videos... CC's videos are coded differently than YT's and it's throwing me...Any ideas? Thanks. P.S. This is the .xml page I use (reference) to embed the videos on to all my site's pages. Then I take that link and go to www.rss-info.com and use their online parser. I paste the link into the box that reads "RSS URL:" and then I take the php output and paste it into all of my sites pages and viola! But again, that's with YouTube videos...I need to figure out how I can do that with Comedy Centrals "Mother Load" videos.
The video goes into a feed fine, it's that site you are using to make your cut and paste code that is eating everything. Cheers

The problem is that the parser reads each tag <> and creates an error when it doesnt find a close tag before any other tag. Simply add the embedde code into the description of the RSS Item and replace the < and > with the proper html encodes like so: <embed FlashVars='config=http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/xml/data_synd.jhtml?vid=78731%26myspace=false' src='http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/syndicated_player/index.jhtml' quality='high' bgcolor='#006699' width='340' height='325' name='comedy_player' align='middle' allowScriptAccess='always' allownetworking='external' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'></embed> Hope this helps, Mike
On another note, If your server has php, you can just make a file called video.php and include that file whereever you want the video to appear. <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <center>Video of the day<br> <? include ('video.php') ?> </center> </body> </html>
My server has php.... can you show me exactly how to do this second suggestion? Thank you. I tried your first suggestion but it didn't work as I'm unsure what to remove from the xml page to get it to work. The more simpler the better.
