I'm making a site with SiteSpinner of embedded gaming videos, and I have no problem with embedding videos from YouTube, but with the Divx embed code, I place the code object where I want it on the page, then when the page loads in a browser, the video image appears further down on the page, but if you hit the play button, it pops up into the correct location.

The test web address is http://PwnerTV.com/problem/index.html and a sample code is

<script type='text/javascript'>/*<![CDATA[*/var divx_stage={size:'large',s:'720x544',v:1185596};/*]]>*/</script><script type='text/javascript' src='http://includes.stage6.com/javascript/divx_stage.js'></script>

You can get embed code for other videos at http://stage6.divx.com in the share tab for a video.

Another problem--I made a table to place the YouTube code objects for easy arranging and copying to other pages. I tried to do the same with a Divx code object, but when it's in a table, the Divx player never appears. I tried sizing and making sure the table was bigger than the Divx display window, etc.

For comparison, here's some YouTube embed video code:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yQMl2Z-FIkk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yQMl2Z-FIkk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you sent this to www.Stage6.com? I just had some issues last night with the embedded code, things have changed since the switch from alpha to beta concerning the code that is embedded.

If you are trying to post to www.myspace.com 9 times out of 10 the embed codes get stripped for divx. For some reason, they have left mine in tact: www.myspace.com/jrazzcreations

Even before the stage6 change, I have had the same issue of placing the code object on one place and then it showing up on another. My workaround: I made the page that looks right a template and just changed the text and the code objects code. This way, everything stays where it is supposed to be and I just changed the code and title that needs to be changed.

I put a link to the page--not myspace.

I don't think you read my post--read the first paragraph again and check it out for yourself.

I read what you stated above, I just gave more information than you wanted . Again what I do is preview and see where it shows up after placing the code object and then I adjust until I have the file where I want it. Here is one of my pages with it on it: http://www.jrazzcreations.com/Divx_Iraq_War_Hero_Tribute_SD.html

Why don't you try giving each video its own page with a table of contents page that points to each video? This may solve the moving video problem.

That is the html code that shows up on my source page. I do not have SS on this computer so I cannot look up the code in my code object at this time. Where did you get your code from?

I really don't think we're communicating or you're speed reading. As I said, the embed code is in the share tab of videos at stage6.

It's different from what you show.

It works fine, it just that in a page done with SiteSpinner it appears at a lower place on the page until you hit the play button, then it jumps into the correct position.

You said "I made the page that looks right a template," but see, I don't have one that looks right.

No, mine never jumped from one place to another. My issue was a matter of the code object being at a certain place on the page and once it is viewed, the actual DivX player and video moved to another portion of my web page. I never had the jumping problem you describe.

But, there are a couple of issues I would pursue if I were you:
1. only load 1 video on a page and see if it shows correctly instead of jumps. This is a way to troubleshoot if multiple divx videos on one page is messing with your code.
2. How are you inserting your code?
3. Where are you getting your coding from?
4. My videos display correctly and do not jump. Yours do. Therefore, we know it works, so there must be an issue with one of the above items I have listed.

These are the things I would check. Just for reference, I placed my code in the body of my page.

Yes, my problem is completely different from yours.

Did you take a look at mine to see it?

Your questions were answered in my original post.

I see that you address that you can get the embed code from stage6. I wasn't for sure that is where you actually got it from. Just wanted to make sure it is given by them.

Try the suggestions I gave you and see if they work. For one, I would make a sample project with only 1 video on it. If that doesn't work, then it must be the new code, or where you are placing it in page. Make sure the code object is not overlapping anything else.

Try the 1 video per page and report back to see if that works.

If not and it is none of the other things I listed above, then again, I would urge you to contact stage6 support and make them aware of the issue and point them to this thread. I contacted them this morning and got a response back within 3 hours.

... and yes, I did take a look at yours, but it doesn't tell me anything. I can see the problem, but I do not know what produces it as again, mine works and you are saying that you have already answered my questions, which involve troubleshooting. So, if you have already tried what I suggested, then I would again encourage you to contact stage6 to have them troubleshoot the issue.

Also, instead of using the java script code that you reference above, try the one below it on stage6 that looks like this: <object codebase="http://go.divx.com/plugin/DivXBrowserPlugin.cab" height="720" width="1280" classid="clsid:67DABFBF-D0AB-41fa-9C46-CC0F21721616"><param name="autoplay" value="false"><param name="src" value="http://video.stage6.com/1199456/.divx" /><param name="custommode" value="Stage6" /><param name="showpostplaybackad" value="false" /><embed type="video/divx" src="http://video.stage6.com/1199456/.divx" pluginspage="http://go.divx.com/plugin/download/" showpostplaybackad="false" custommode="Stage6" autoplay="false" height="720" width="1280" /></object>

Tried the other code-I hadn't used it because from their description I didn't think it had a play button.

At least it doesn't jump when you hit play, but it's weird that it won't display in the correct location.

It does show up when placed inside a table, unlike the javascript code, but it displays out of line with the table.

I'll keep working on it.

Well, got a workaround using the Divx "standard embed code" rather than the "Javascript embed code"

Just create a table and lock the cell size to the exact size of the video, like 1280 width and 720 height from your sample, and place the table where you want it, then create the video code object and make its box slightly bigger than the table and drop it into the table.

The video code box has to be bigger then the table when you drop it or it won't work right.

By the way, what is the easy way to lock multiple objects, like lock the table and the video code box together so they can be moved around as one?

quote:

is the easy way to lock multiple objects, like

Ctrl+Left Click the items you want together and then right click and choose group.
I am glad you finally got it working.

Thanks for the help j razz--the key was your recommendation to use the standard embed code.

Still hoping someone comes up with a fix, though, rather than just a workaround.

I brought this to DivX's attention as it appears to be an issue with their code in how it relates to sitespinner. I will try the code on a dreamweaver project and see how it does there this afternoon.
