Hi!

I am looking for more information regarding the possibility to use this module together with embedded media field. What I would like to accomplish would be to use flowplayer to play videos coming from 3rd party sources like youtube and vimeo. This is what I think the description page means, saying there is a way to integrate the two modules, however I could not find any info...

Am I missing some configuration options somewhere? :-)

thanks!

Title: Integration with embedded media field » Display YouTube/Vimeo/etc using Flowplayer
Project: Flowplayer API » Embedded Media Field
Version: 6.x-0.1 » 6.x-1.x-dev
Component: Documentation » Embedded Video Field
Category: support » feature

Enable Flowplayer, throw up an Embedded Video Field along with the Custom URL support. Put in a video URL of an FLV or something and it will use Flowplayer to display it. Unfortunately there is no support for playing YouTube or Vimeo using Flowplayer. Patches are welcome though ;-) .

.... Which brings up another point. It would be nice to have video display options, where you could choose which player the video is used to be displayed. For each provider, you'd have an option to display via supported players (Custom HTML embed code, the provider's video code, SWFObject, Flowplayer, jQuery Media, etc).

Playing vimeo and youtube content via 3rd party players is likely to cause trouble for either platform as they don't like giving away bandwidth for free and it's most probably violating an EULA of one kind or another.. You know those guys. :-)
I was looking for a similar solution and came across some rather unlucky stories. :-P There are some hints at the JW player forum if you'd like to give it a try (converting vimeo feed to fw player playlist via php for example), but I don't have a link anymore, sorry. Maybe google still remembers it, tho. :-)

I see the YouTube provider now supports JW Player, but still nothing for Vimeo. Is it the TOS, technical difficulties, or lack of initiative that's the cause of no JW Player support for Vimeo?
