This issue may be related to #1160234: Blip have changed - urls not working. I am using a fresh download of the dev code.

When I use this URL:
http://blip.tv/the-seed-company/the-word-comes-to-gombe-5469593

I get this error:
You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code.

I am investigating.

Why was emvideo_bliptv_convert_url() dropped from bliptv.inc?

In emfield.module in the emfield_parse_embed() function, we have this code:

$embed = emfield_include_invoke($module, $provider->name, 'convert_url', trim($embed), $field);

$embed going in is populated with the URL but because emvideo_bliptv_convert_url() is not defined, the return is blank.

If I add this function back into bliptv.inc, stuff starts to work again.

Subscribing,

Anyone happen to found the fix?

@dpearceMN

Can you post the whole function with _convert... that makes your blip.tv working again?

Thanks a lot.

Edited:
It seems fixed by this patched:

http://drupal.org/files/issues/support-new-bliptv-urls-1160234-52.patch

Thanks a lot.

I had pulled the latest code from git (which included that patch) and my problems was NOT resolved until I added the function back into the code.

I was hoping to hear from the module maintainer before I posted a patch.

Do you think you could post a working patch? Even without the maintainer's feedback, it would be nice to have something to fix this problem.

thanks,

Is there any time frame on a fix to this bug? I'm not clear on how to implement the solutions referenced above, but would love to be able to use blip-hosted media again.

I'm having the same problem. I have tried entering the following 3 URLs and it won't work any of them.

  1. http://blip.tv/play/AYLh6SwC.html
  2. http://a.blip.tv/scripts/shoggplayer.html#file=http%3A%2F%2Fblip.tv%2Frs...
  3. http://blip.tv/viodi/the-new-perspective-on-multi-screen-service-managem...

I've tried this with the embed box checked and unchecked and it makes no difference. I have tried it with the 6.x beta and the current dev version.
Is any one of these the correct format for the URL?

Just a note. I updated emfield to the May 2011 6.x-2.5 version which apparently we had missed. The Blip.tv URL's are now working fine. Not sure if that helps anyone else, but was just what was missing for us.

I got the same error and tried to install the 6.x-1.x-dev version instead of the beta, and it works. I used this URL: blip.tv/bimbyendk/episode-6071710
