Embed BBC Worldcup

[waynebev]

Hi Guys,

I am using Xibo in the Reception on a screen and I'm streaming a live BBC News feed embeded in it.

One of the members had posted the embed code for it on here. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the code for the world cup feeds BBC Sports site??

Or if anyone can point me as how to get the embed codes from live feeds.

Thanks guys

This was it - doesn't seem to work now though.

[waynebev]

Yeh that was the News one which we have working on Xibo. Just wondered how they got the code?? and if it could be done with the BBC Sport worlcup streams the same as the news.

8751021

 

try that, should be wimbledon

[waynebev]

sorry I didn't understand?

[tommej]

emp_8751021

 

should be the embed code for the wimbledon stream but i cant test it.

[waynebev]

OK thanks, I am new at this so what do I do? Change the emp number in the .html document?

[tommej]

Theres more to it than that, paging sysman ! cant figure it out

[waynebev]

Oh right, it would be brill thats all if we can get it going. Are you showing the Match tomorrow at school?

[tommej]

We were hoping to have it in our main hall but hit a few snags in getting freeview to the projector in the hall though. Gonna attempt to stream it online but I got a feeling every school in the county will be doing it and it won't work too well.

 

I think we're just having it in our canteen. 6 large tv screens and decent sound system and freeview already hooked up and working.

[waynebev]

We are going down the Hall route with a freeview box.

Don't know how many Staff/Pupils will bother staying thought

[ianniow]

While I was trying to do the same I came across this site from the BBC

But I have not got a clue how to use the code.

[waynebev]

What a find your a great Guy !!!!!

[waynebev]

Is anyone out there able to embed this I tried but didn't work?? I think we are getting closer though!!

[djones]

Anyone managed to embed this code yet?

[fawkers]

*bump*

 

Has anyone had any luck with this?

 reload("bbc_one_london");<br />

 

The important part here is the:

 

reload("bbc_one_london");

 

This determines which cast you load, bellow are a list of the other ones on that page:

 

bbc_two_england
bbc_three
bbc_four
cbbc
cbeebies
bbc_news24
bbc_parliament
bbc_alba

 

This page has just got the player in it nothing else, with the intention of it being used in a xibo layout.

 

Hope this helps

thanks, thats exactly what i plan to use it for.

[garvey2003]

wow this script is spot on. One thing I would like to lknow is it possible to remove the controls at the bottom? I have another script that does only the news headlines and I can remove the controls

[JRowley]

Unfortunately I never found a way to remove the controls, would need to try and find out if there are any parameters you could give the player when its created in the Javascript, unfortunately (again) all of the source for the Javascript is on the bbc servers, so you cant just inspect it and find the parameters.

 

Its unlikely that you can without BBC help .

Thanks for that. I thought it be somethign like that. I've been using BBC Headline news stream which rotates every three minutes. works well but we want more news.

 

this script works well but the refresh takes a long time and makes my page blank for about 30 seconds.

 

Going to have a good play with it today

[phughes]

Fantastic info guys!

 

Anyone any ideas on how to get subtitles working with this html code?

 

Thanks,

Pete

[JRowley]

Its the same story as the controls i believe, i never found a way to add subtitles, it might be possible but without diving into the javascript on the BBC end i wouldnt be able to tell you.

[barmybarmy]

can this open automatically in full screen

can it work with sky news?
