WHY IFRAME VIDEO 'EMBED CODE' DOESN'T PLAY ON NING?

 

Thanks.

Hi MeeFee,

Sure, I'll have our engineers look into adding SocialCam as well. Thanks!

It would seem that uStream.tv's iframes would be allowed, but they are not. For those of us who don't want to use the uStream plugin, the iframes would be great to allow.

Also the Blip Iframe...Please

and Google Books also would be nice... assuming this thread isn't limited to video services...

wishing you all an inspiring and joyful 2012 !

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year! A few weeks ago, we released support for iframe embeds from additional video services. These now include the following:

• Bandcamp
• Viddler
• Blip.TV

Thanks again for your feedback!

Hi Aaron, how about the New York Times, Daily Show and Colbert? Any progress on those fronts? Is there any fix? 

[Aaron]

Hey Ryan,

We haven't had requests for those in the past, but I'm glad to file them in our system. I'm a big Daily Show fan myself.

Aaron - thanks - I think the reason they haven't come up is comedy central recently switched to iFrame and the Times as well - there is no option for old code there :(  Hulu still does not use iFrame - I run a Ning about Education and Pop Culture so those sources are bread and butter -

Thank you for adding this to the list!

Wikimedia Commons uses iframes for embedding videos too... would be nice if they were supported too...

I'm trying to add an iframe featuring one of Petfinder's adoptable pets widgets to a blog post, to no avail. At the very least, admins should be able to add this kind of code to their own blog posts.

Being able to use iFrame embedds in the videos feature is my main concern,basically because my community is very video centric,and iFrame embedds only allow a link to be posted in videos....thanx

I've been working with the CEO of iBroadast, and it seems members can not add iframes to text boxes on their profile pages. Will this change any time soon?

Hmm. You almost resemble him Aaron.
