Embedding BrightCove Video using their new format HTML player.

Hi Alan,

Have you seen the article here on embedding videos and the code? I know that was written based on a few users who were having difficulty with Brightcove's player. 

Hi Ashley.

Yes I did.

But it didn't help :(

I've got a support ticket open on this but here is the problem.

The article says ...

Brightcove offers several embed options. Be sure to choose the Player URL (iframe) embed code for your Storyline course.

That is a bit of a contradiction.

When publishing in Brightcove you get 3 options as shown in the attached image.

My choice is the player URL OR the iFrame

I’ve tried all 3 and they all give me the same message.

 I ‘ve also tried adding a width and height value to the iframe code as here

<iframe src="//players.brightcove.net/1148423579001/190859de-e84c-495f-b94f-d5525d526a3e_default/index.html?videoId=4093305660001" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen=""> width="962" height="720"</iframe>

But that gives me the same error message.

What I need is advice on how to make the embed code work in Storyline the same as it does on everything else.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks All

Alan

I added your embeded code to an HTML page and uploaded it to a server. See here. At the very least you should be able to link a web object to a page like that.

Web Object....

Why didn't I think of that???

They actually have a URL that is clever about size & stuff.

Thanks Michael

Hi Alan,

It looks like one of your > signs was in the wrong location - this code should work: 

<iframe src="http://players.brightcove.net/1148423579001/190859de-e84c-495f-b94f-d5525d526a3e_default/index.html?videoId=4093305660001" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" width="962" height="720"></iframe>

I used that and didn't see an error message - and it plays ok loaded up here. 

Thanks Ashley.

So which is the Articulate recommended approach?

Video from Website  or Web Object?

You can use either - and it'll really depend on what your set up is. For example, web objects can be layered with other content but the web object will always appear at the top. 

I would use Ashley's option.
