Embedding Films on Demand videos in LibGuides - DWOETZEL - 09-11-2020
Our Films on Demand embedded videos don't play in LibGuides even after I allowed "insecure content." I tested in Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. I did test a few embedded Films on Demand videos in Canvas and they play fine after I allow insecure content.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Denise

yes I am having trouble with this and have for a while. I got this film to work by copying the code on your Integrating Library Resource on Canvas - your old version. https://libguides.tcc.edu/testFOD

Haven't had time to play with it much. Most of the guide author just put a link for FOD.

All -
I finally got it to work. I played and played with the iframe code that FOD supplies. Here is what I came up with that works:
<iframe height='320' width='520' frameborder='0' style='border:1px solid #ddd;' src='https://fod.infobase.com/OnDemandEmbed.aspx?token=42168&wID=98263&plt=FOD&loid=0&w=480&h=500&fWidth=500&fHeight=500'> </iframe>
For that video, when you click on "share" then "embed" you get the following:
<iframe height='530' frameborder='0' style='border:1px solid #ddd;' width='660' src='http://ezdcc.vccs.edu:2048/login?url=https://fod-infobase-com/OnDemandEmbed.aspx?token=42168&wID=98267&plt=FOD&loid=0&w=640&h=480&fWidth=660&fHeight=530' allowfullscreen allow="encrypted-media"> </iframe>
You can see that I REMOVED the proxy stuff, made sure that the direct url had the https, and also took off some embedded settings.
This DOES work from on and off campus. I just tested it again.
Give it a try and let me know if you can also do it.
