Embedding Vides from my website

I am tired of the changes I am going through with videos AND Dolphin.  I went from couldn't load videos at all, to videos that once uploaded were dissapointingly grainy and pixelated (despite the original source was HD quality.  I have tweak things as it related to this and the quality admittedly has improved however, my frustrations come now from NOT being able to embed my videos on anyone else's website.   My website's focus IS the videos and I need them to work properly.  When I try to embed videos that I have on my website to other websites n blogs or comments or messages the video hangs and never plays.  This is such a problem that I have messed up my profile in more than Ning account trying to post my videos in their provided text boxes that ACCEPTS HTML EMBED CODES.  The best way I can tell you about my problem is to embed a video in this message and you'll see for yourself what happens.  Please someone help.

Well trying to embed a video in this blog forum didn't work either.  So u can't see what I'm talking about.  So I am going to provide a link to a Ning site that I have embedded one of the videos from my website into below:

No one is going to join that site just to look at your video

It could also be a restriction to embedding <object> or <script> tags. HTML code can be all sorts of things, but not all are always allowed. For instance take Dolphin, you could edit/paste simple HTML code via TinyMCE .. BUT if you try to add the <script> or <object> tags, it would automatically strip them.

 

Could be that you just cant embed your video there. At least not like that. You may just want to post a link directly to it instead of trying to embed it.

Nothing to see here

I tested your embed code on my own site, and it works just fine.   The issue you're having has nothing to do with Dolphin.  It is related to the sites on which  you are trying to embed video.  Most sites will not allow posting of embed code verbatim.   The embed code is first stripped of all potentially harmful attributes, and then it is reconstructed in a way known to be safe.  Sometimes this rids the embed code of certain attributes necessary for the video to play.

I apologize for assuming you can see what happens without joining, that was not my intent.  I have no trouble at all embedding videos from other sites such as YouTube or Dailymotion and do so with ease.  The problem only occurs when I try to embed videos from my site.  The sites in question are all adult sites so there is no issue of concern about "harmful" content.  Whatever is being "stripped" from the code please enlighten me.  For example, with Dailymotion videos you have to just copy and paste ONLY the information contained between the <embed> tags in order for them to work. If you copy and paste the entire embed information Dailymotion provides they do not work on Ning sites.  I cant really say where the issue is Dolphin or a problem with the way Ning handles the embed information as I am not a programmer so I cannot make that call.  Is there a tweak I need to do to the embed info provided with videos coded by Dolphin?  You say it is not an issue with Dolphin but the problem I'm having ONLY occurs with the videos I upload directly to my site.  I appreciate the responses to my issue and thank u for that.  It is my personal PREFERENCE to embed the video and NOT just a link because it esthetically looks better to have the embedded player with video already there than just a text link. in the comments.  I have uploaed the exact identical videos directly from my computer to the Ning sites and HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH VIDEO PLAYING ON OTHER SITES when I embed them, whether it be the blogs, HTML text boxes or comments.  Have no problem whatsoever.  NONE.  The video hanging thing ONLY occurs with the videos I upload to MY WEBSITE which IS POWERED BY DOLPHIN.  Should I be doing a similar thing like I do with the Dailymotion videos and only grabbing the part of the code between the <embed> tags because that is what works with the Dailymotion video?

Thank you everyone that tried to help but I've answered my own question.  I tried was I stated in my previous post and it works!  So for anyone else who was having the same problem I was having.  You need only grab the part of the code between the embed tags and your video will work.  I have highlighted in blue the section of the code you need to grab so those that are new to this will understand.  When I just copied the entire code that Dolphin provides and pasted them in other sites the object would just hang.  When I just grabbed ONLY the part between the <embed> tags it worked just fine.

Does it work in Firefox?  Chrome, Safari, Opera?

I use Firefox almost exclusively.  The only other browser I use is Opera and that's only because it has the nice built-in feature that allows u to copy and paste notes, like with Notepad. Until I started using Firefox, I was impressed with Opera but for some reason I am not able to post comments on Ning sites when I use it so I switched to Firefox.  I tried to install an add-on with the note taking feature like in Opera but it had bugs and caused Firefox to crash often. So now I keep both browsers open and  I copy all my html codes that I want to use repeatedly n the notes and do whatever tweaks I need to do in Opera and just paste it into Firefox.  It's nice and convenient and I don't have to open up any other text editor.  Opera is all I use for that.   Hate Internet Explorer and was okay with Google Chrome until I basically went on strike on all Google products (cuz of my personal issues with them and my YouTube account).  Never heard of Safari but am always willing to try new things as I am consummate power computer user.  Have not tried it with any other browsers but I will and will post the outcomes later.
