Test Of Embedding A Video

Administrator

I took a video this morning of testing the power box's AC relay and put it in this post by uploading it to Youtube.

But I'm wondering if I can just embed it from one One Drive. So this is a test of that. Please let me know if it works or doesn't for you.

That's strange. It takes several seconds, probably to load up the 45 Mb file, and then goes to it and away from the forum.

It takes you away from the forum and then you have to hit the back arrow at the top left to get back to the forum, but not back to the thred

Yep, that's what I'm seeing as well. Thanks, Steve.

Edit: This time the back arrow took me back to this thread.

Anyway, this doesn't appear to be the best way to post videos.

Nothing Special

Re: Test Of Embedding A Video

I would agree that it doesn't seem to be the best way to link a video. But I see nothing. It has the two lines of text, with a link in the top line that takes me to the post with the YouTube link. But below that is just several inches of blank white space.

If I "reply" and "quote" your original post I can see the link (in Nabble-ese). But it doesn't show up in the post for me.

Bob - I suspect you didn't wait long enough. The file is ~45 Mb so it takes a while to show up, and until it does you have a big white spot.

Gary, it may not matter since the verdict is already in, but I cannot access the embedded video on my phone. There is just a big blank spot in the post. I gave it a good 10 minutes. I thought maybe it was a cellular data issue, so I tried again using the house wi-fi and it was no different.

Thanks, Jonathan. I had t tried it on my iPhone X and it doesn’t work on it either. Obviously a poor idea. 😩

Chrome on my android gives me a redirect blocked message saying I can allow if desired. After the forced redirect with no way back that I ran into earlier today on my laptop browser, I have no desire to allow it

Clearly this is NOT the way to embed videos.

Never know if you don't try

Wonder if google drive would behave the same.

Did you embed it this way?

Embed files directly into your website or blog
Go to the OneDrive website. You might need to sign in with your Microsoft account.
Pick the file you want to embed by selecting the check box in the upper-right corner of the file.
Select Embed at the top of the page, and then choose Generate.
Copy and paste the code into the code of your website or blog.

Yep, that's exactly how I embedded it. Might work with a little video, if there is such a thing.

I'll copy it to my Google Drive and try that, but I suspect it is the size of the file that's causing the problem.

So tell me, folks, does the Google embed work differently for you? It sure does for me as it doesn't give the white/blank screen. And on my Windows tablet it works perfectly, meaning that it is there when I first pull the post up and plays immediately w/o going to another window.

But on my iPhone X it won't play on this page, but if I click the "pop-out" icon in the upper right I'll quickly get a Google page followed by the video to play.

I have no problem playing it -once it loads- in Chrome.
But the lag my just be down to phone bandwidth.

Commuter time is busy time on cell backhauls.

Re: Test Of Embedding A Video

Good to know, Jim. Thanks. Not convinced this is a good way of including a video, but it is better than the Microsoft One Drive way.

What I've been thinking about is the fact that embedding a video means that it really resides elsewhere and you effectively just have a link to it. So if it goes away elsewhere it'll go away here. And it would be nice to have it really reside on the site to ensure it won't go away.

But I've not, yet, found a way.

On my iPad, I hit play, it loads, and I hit play again and it works fine. The first one was a blank area.

Thanks, Dane. So the Google Drive one will work, but the One Drive one is a bust. Good to know.
