Validation of Media Hub movies

[dsockrider]

I wanted to embed some movies from the Media Hub into some Engineering web pages. I put the embed code in the page, but it doesn't validate.

The original Media Hub page doesn't validate either.

How can we embed movies from the Media Hub so that pages validate?

I guess I could download the .mp4, run through the Flash Compressor, and re-embed... but it'd be nice if the provided embed code just validated.

the provided embed code:

Code: Select all

<object height="408" width="640">
   <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param>
   <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
   <embed src="http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/scripts/components/mediaplayer/player.swf?file=http://ucomm.unl.edu/av/video/pyotm/ZNETprojectPYOTM.mp4&amp;image=http://itunes.unl.edu/thumbnails.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fucomm.unl.edu%2Fav%2Fvideo%2Fpyotm%2FZNETprojectPYOTM.mp4&amp;volume=100&amp;autostart=false&amp;skin=http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/scripts/components/mediaplayer/UNLVideoSkin.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" height="408" width="640">
   </embed>
</object>


Should be:

Code: Select all

<object height="408" width="640" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/scripts/components/mediaplayer/player.swf">
   <param name="movie" value="http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/scripts/components/mediaplayer/player.swf" />
   <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
   <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
   <param name="FlashVars" value="file=http://ucomm.unl.edu/av/video/pyotm/ZNETprojectPYOTM.mp4&amp;image=http://itunes.unl.edu/thumbnails.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fucomm.unl.edu%2Fav%2Fvideo%2Fpyotm%2FZNETprojectPYOTM.mp4&amp;volume=100&amp;autostart=false&amp;skin=http://www.unl.edu/ucomm/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/scripts/components/mediaplayer/UNLVideoSkin.swf" />
</object>

SWFObject is also an option:

I just downloaded the file, ran through the Flash converter and used code that validates.

All that is needed is for someone to commit a fix to the media hub project page. This file is the one that needs the changes:

www/templates/html/Media.tpl.php

http://its-gforge.unl.edu/gf/project/un ... iew=markup

Would someone be kind enough contribute a fix?

Fixed and committed.
