This is the code I want to use for my embedded player on MY web pages.
This is how that code diplays:
The first problem with the new player is:
The underlined word "now" in the google ad at the top of the video, can not be clicked on to play a google video ad. Therfore, viewers can't play the ads during football timeouts, halftime or the radio stations breakes. They are forced into having the ads run every 15 minutes and often miss a scoring touchdown or have the show interupted.)
Now, let's look at the second problem with the new player.
There are dozens of radiostations, and sports web sites that embed individual clips from my web page into their web pages. I do not want to hand out my password or give access to my channel to these other web sites. So, I have them to go to web page and find the clip in my embedded player and use the embedding tool to get a copy of the code. This worked great in the old player.
Now try that with the new player.
Click the video tab over the chat in the above player.
Click the first storyboard.
Click the first clip
Click on "GRAB WIDGET"
Click on the video player and grab the code.
Here is the code:
This is what the code displays:
As you can see, there are several problems with the code for embedding clips on other peoples web pages.
First, it is not the right size for my channel, which is broadcasting a 4:3 format video. It has black bars to the right and left of the video. Those web masters have to edit the code or end up with a player that is to wide, or a smaller video.
Second, Viewers can't click on the "now" in the google line at the top to play the ads. It is imposible to actually see the entire clip, even if they watch it twice. The clip does not pause during the google ad.
Third, There is a big Play button centered on the video. If viewers don't know to click the smaller play button at the bottom, they will be sent to a livestream page where the Live channel will play, NOT THE CLIP that the web master wanted embedded on their page!
Fourth, If thy do press the smaller play button below the video, it plays the LIVE video instead of the CLIP the webmaster wanted to embed.
