Embed Video/Photo using any embed code

Hi everyone

I am wanting to embed videos & photos using any embed code.  I have video/photo embeds that are previews that lead to another site if clicked, affiliate links would be the best way to describ, but not always the case.

Anyone have any experience in changing the code to allow embed from other options besides YouTube (Video) & Flickr (Photos).

My priority is video to get this working..

Hopefully, Someone has the I won't say simple, but uncomplicated solution.

Thanks to all who participate in advance.

 

I should also add this is for 7.0.3

Thanks for the reply, while that mod would maybe be useful it is not what I am looking for as again the sites that you can get the embed from are limited.  The content I want to add is videos/photos that can be embedded with the embed code as it is as it contains affilaite links and other information

Eg.  But every site may well be different, edited to protect the content.

<div id='player11853945'></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://website.com/swfobject.js'></script><script type='text/javascript' src='http://website.com/embeddedflash.php?88888_id=2165114&video_id=4933824334c6003c75dd222.53136932&link_id=2&player=player47896547&width=450&height=338'></script>

These are affiliate based sites that contain content that I wish to embed and allow people to link to it.

I am starting to get regularly disappointed with dolphin as a platform for these very reasons.  As an admin I should be allowed to post whatever the hell I want onto my site and from whatever source.

Admins should not be restricted.

Ahhhhhhh  Frustrating...  I love Dolphin as a platform on so many levels but this is getting to me big time.

why does this work if you inject the code into the site via the database, I guess because Admins can access there..

So back to my point, I think Admins should be allowed to post whatever the hell they want on their site.

 

Please Guys..... Make it happen, This is ridiculous

This may help as a workaround until someone designs something that integrates into the video mod.

If you have the html imbed code, you can put it in an html block on any page that accepts it, or insert it as a blog post, which can input html code.  I have done this for UStream and it works great.  If this is for your personal use, inserting an html block through admin is probably best since you can put it almost anywhere.  If it is for members to do, I think the blog post would be the only way they could do it.  Might be helpful to provide instructions on your site for them.

I realize this isn't  the ultimate answer, but I don't think there is another social platform that can do what you request out-ot-the-box.  If there is, please advise Boonex team and post it here so they can consider adding it in future versions.

Yes, Dolphin can be extremely frustrating, but it is also extremely flexible.  Best of luck.

Someday, Someway.
