[SOLVED| Help with Vimeo (external video)

I am delighted that SS is now supporting Amazon S3 & Vimeo.

However, I am not able to find any documentation on how to install / embed a Vimeo video.

E.g., when you request an embed code from Video, it gives you an iframe. I assume this is not the proper link to include in SS.

Also the News item mentions an external script which produces an XML file. Any more detail on this?

Further, the news item mentions that you have to set up S3 & Vimeo in the options. WHERE? (I have the latest version of SS installed.)

A simple step by step would be VERY helpful.

I agree that documentation lacks. I just don't find the time to do that. So if anyone feels like helping here, I can give the permission to do so

Try one of this formats for Vimeo:

• vimeo.com/29939081 (URL of the Vimeo page)
• player.vimeo.com/video/29939081 (URL of the iFrame player)

Both should work

There is an example "extern FileList" script here: www.sermonspeaker.net/download/category/25-extern-scripts.html .
It will produce a list of the files found in the same directory. And you need to enter the URL of the script to the SermonSpeaker parameter. Then the dropdown lists with the sermon files will be populated with this list instead of the local directory.
The script just has to output an XML file containing <file> childs whith each of them having a <name> and <URL> entry. It's crude but should work

The parameter for this in the SermonSpeaker options (button on top right corner of each SermonSpeaker admin page) and there the "File Paths" tab.
This options only are relevant for the dropdown lists.
Keep in mind that the Flash Player will be restricted to play files on extern servers due to Flashs cross server restrictions. This has nothing to do with SermonSpeaker and can be fixed with a simple file on the extern server. You can google that up

Hope that helped. Otherwise just ask again

the way that vimeo embedding works you can do this in one of 3 ways.
in video URL you can paste either a URL like this vimeo.com/30345182 , or from and iframe embed tag only this part of code. player.vimeo.com/video/30345182 pretty much up to question mark. the code will then extract the video id 30345182 and paste it into page's iframe portion. 3rd way of doing it is in parameters you specify vimeo user id and what that will do is look up from vimeo RSS the last 10 or how ever many videos that you have uploaded in your vimeo account. Once you save the sermon it will fill in appropriate code. the why sermon speaker uses vimeo iframe tag is because plus users have ability to also create a mobile version of video which will play on iphones and other mobile devices.

THANKS!
