Community Credit Forums

I’ve been up all night trying to figure out how to properly display embedded videos in Code Project articles.  I finally solved the issue.   (I had to learn how the Silverlight 1.0 actually works so I could make the necessary changes.  David, no fair laughing at poor Karl.  LOL.)

I’ve update the article, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapbook/HowToCreateArticleVideos.aspx

It has some additional code in the download, I’ve added an embedded video to teach folks how to do this and I added a new section to the article, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapbook/HowToCreateArticleVideos.aspx#CPVIDEOS that goes into everything and why we need to fully understand what happens when you embed a video.

The bottom line issue was, we don’t want the embedded videos to start playing OR start downloading until the visitor clicks a button.  I figured it out, and updated the article download to allow this to happen.

David, I tried embedding the Silverlight video here in an Iframe, I could see it while editing this post, but the Iframe was removed by the system.  Is there another wan to embed Silverlight videos here at Community Credit?

I need some Java (Startbucks!!)

Hey Karl,

     I think that this is a tremendous topic and would like for you to be able to embed them in your posts.  Unfortunately, certain tags get removed when the post is made and that is why you see it when you edit, but it is not there when it is finally posted.  Why don't you email me and perhaps we can figure something out.
