Blip[edit]
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
<embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AdvpMQA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="510" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>
Wiki code:
<videoflash type="blip">AdvpMQA</videoflash>
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.
