CSPAN with Embed Code media tag

 

To install first download and extract the file.

In ACP go to Look and Feel, Post Content, Manage Media Tag.

then at bottom of screen in the Import New Media Tags click the Browse Button.

Browse to the extracted file you fownloaded and choose the mediatag.xml file and then click Import.

After imported go to Look and Feel, Template Tools and recache all skins.

 

IMPORTANT!!

 

This media tag will ONLY work with CSPAN videos that allow embedding.

 

You can tell if the video is ok by the word embed on lower left of player as shown in screenshot embed 1.

 

 

IMPORTANT!!

 

You CANNOT use the actual page url for this tag, you MUST get the url used in the embed code. This was only way I could get it to always work.

This is actually easy to get, there are 2 ways to do it.

 

The first and easiest way is to click the breakout button [bOX WITH ARROW] on player as shown in screenshot breakout 1. This opens a new page and the url of that page will be correct. Just paste that url into post.

 

The second way is to click the embed to copy the NEW code, paste that into a text file an then copy the video url from the embed code (do NOT copy the single ' on each end) as shown in screenshot URL 1. You then paste that url into post.

 

An example of a url to paste is this:

http://www.c-span.or...ghazi-committee

this url was driven off this page:

http://www.c-span.or...ghazi-committee
