Someone Beat Me To It :(

Well, as usual, somebody beat me to it. My goal of creating a video player for the google personal homepage was compleated by Hans Schmucker, you can get it here. I will continue to develop mine, because it is helping me learn to code. Mine newest version is here, and I will try to update it often.

Google Video Module?

Well, my java applet does not seem to work as an applet, so I got over making it really fast. I could really use everyone’s help! Just post your suggestion in the comment box.

Now, I am currently making a Module for the Google Personalized Homepage. It will allow you to view a video in the main page. This will be my first Module and I have no coding experience at all, so anyone can help! The file right now is located at here. This is also the link you would use if you were adding the module to the personalized homepage.

Videos on your website!

Ok, here is the rundown of how I got Google Videos to play on my website.

First, you need to upload the “googleplayer.swf” to your own website. This flash file can be found at the following link:
http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf

Second, find the Google Video you want to be posted on your website. I am going to use the following video as an example: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4942162778167603560

Third, you need to view the source of the page your video is on. In firefox, you can right click the page and select ‘view page source’, or you can go to the ‘View’ dropdown and click ‘page source’. Located in the very long line of code towards the bottom, you will find a string of characters starting with “object data="/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2...” this is the important code. You want to copy everything after the .swf until the closing quotes.

Forth, inside you website, add the “googleplayer.swf” to your webstite. Many programs like Macromedia’s Dreamweaver can do this with a simple drag and drop. Two spots in code of your webpage there will be a “/googleplyer.swf” (there could be a longer directory of where the file is located, depends on your website. Add the copied data after the .swf just like it was on the Google Video page. And bam! You are done!

Rapup,
1) Upload “googleplayer.swf”
2) Get the string of characters starting with the ? mark
3) Put the flash file on your website
4) Add the string of character you copied.

Here is a working example of the code you would add to your website to get the video to play of your website. This will work if you uploaded the “googleplayer.swf” already and is in the same folder as the webpage you are working on.

First Post

Whats up guys! This blog is dedicated to freeing Google Video. Many of you may have seen this website, but when it autogenerates the code, it attaches some funkey weird "download me" link that I think is required to be there. I'll post more tomarow!

I have figured out how to put videos on your own website, and am currently working on a little java applet to make things easer for you guys. This might take awhile since this is my first year coding with java.

Here is an example! (fixed)
