Media embedding - Sources
by ? ? - Wednesday, 17 September 2014, 6:56 PM
 

I am trying to embed some of Microsoft's videos using their embed code and it works on other sites but not it the LMS.

Is there a way to allow other sources instead of just Vimeo and YouTube?


The embed code I am using is:

<iframe width="480" height="270" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight='0' scrolling="no" src="http://hub.video.msn.com/embed/59fd44f7-0210-4cc4-816a-52fd26f9f5f1/?vars=bGlua292ZXJyaWRlMj1odHRwJTNBJTJGJTJGb2ZmaWNlLm1pY3Jvc29mdC5jb20lMkZlbi11cyUyRm91dGxvb2staGVscCUyRnZpZGVvLWNyZWF0ZS1hbi1hcHBvaW50bWVudC1WQTEwMzk4ODk4OS5hc3B4JTNGQ1RUJTNENSUyNm9yaWdpbiUzREhBMTA0MDMyMTI3JTI2dmlkZW9JZCUzRCU3QjAlN0QlMjZmcm9tJTNEJmZyPXNoYXJlZW1iZWQtc3luZGljYXRpb24mY29uZmlnTmFtZT1zeW5kaWNhdGlvbnBsYXllciZzeW5kaWNhdGlvbj10YWcmbGlua2JhY2s9aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5iaW5nLmNvbSUyRnZpZGVvcyZjb25maWdDc2lkPU1TTlZpZGVvJm1rdD1lbi11cw%3D%3D">

Hi Dan,

I just pasted the code into the HTML editor - where were you trying to embed it?

cheers,

George.

Hi Dan,

We've experienced the same issues when using iframes, in our case it's due to that the Totara install is on https, while the (iframe) content is on http. In those cases, it normally works fine in iOS and Safari - but the user has to allow insecure content manually in other browsers (or it may not work at all).

Unfortunately we've found no other solution than trying to find content that is available via https (or providing the Totara via http).

Thanks everyone for your advise.  In the end it was a mixed mode security issue.
