Howdy all, i own a mustang enthusiast's website, and i have been working with a program to embed video urls on my website.
I find that i can put together basic tags, like such: (The below is a working example for my website)
Site Url: http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1201989799&channel=416537484
My regular expression: http://www\.brightcove\.tv/title\.jsp\?title=([\w&;=]+)
My html: <embed src='http://www.brightcove.tv/playerswf' bgcolor='#FFFFFF' flashVars='allowFullScreen=true&initVideoId=$p1&servicesURL=http://www.brightcove.tv&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://www.brightcove.tv&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&autoStart=false' base='http://admin.brightcove.com' name='bcPlayer' width='486' height='412' allowFullScreen='true' allowScriptAccess='always' seamlesstabbing='false' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' swLiveConnect='true' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash'></embed>
So the way this works, is a user can go to brightcove.tv, watch a few video's and finds one they want to share with other members. All they now have to do is grab the url from the address bar, post it as a New Thread and hit submit, and the embed video will play on my website.
Now here is where i have a problem: (cannot figure out how to make 2 urls work together)
Site url: http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=8f41a1d362d846af0b5e&page=1&viewtype=&category=mr
My regular expession: http://www\.godtube\.com/view_video\.php\?viewkey=([\w]+)[&=;]
My html: <embed src="http://godtube.com/flvplayer.swf" FlashVars="videoThumb=http://www.godtube.com/thumb/1_30772.jpg&flvPath=http://www.godtube.com/flvideo1/47/30772.flv" wmode="transparent" quality="high" width="330" height="270" name="flv_demo" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>
<embed src="http://godtube.com/flvplayer.swf" FlashVars="videoThumb=http://www.godtube.com/thumb/1_30772.jpg&flvPath=http://www.godtube.com/flvideo1/47/30772.flv" wmode="transparent" quality="high" width="330" height="270" name="flv_demo" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>
As you can see, this example doesn't work. The reason i have found is, it has a different embed url then the address bar url. The address bar calls for http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=8f41a1d362d846af0b5e&page=1&viewtype=&category=mr and the embed address is http://www.godtube.com/flv1/47/30772.flv
Now how can i set up a regular expression that would use the address bar url, and connect to the embed url?
Thanks hotwheels
