Extension:VideoFlash

'' Important! - Please consider using the EmbedVideo Extension instead of this - it supports multiple video sharing sites and is syntactically and functionally superior.''

VideoFlash is an extension that displays videos from YouTube, Google Video, Dailymotion, Sevenload, Revver and similar services based on FLV video format.

Blip
Currently blip uses urls like: http://blip.tv/file/1490573 You cannot use the above ID with the code http://blip.tv/play/$someID which is used in this VideoFlash extension.

To get the correct ID to use click on 'embed' in Blip and extract the id used in the flash embed code



Wiki code: AdvpMQA

note: I don't know why Blip.tv uses different ID's in it's embed code as opposed to it's url. I suspect it may be changing over or something, which is why I haven't suggested editing the code of this extension to use the 'file' rather than the 'play' url for Blip.
