We would like to have a page block just for administration videos on the home page. Right now on the home page we have public videos, but then as soon as someone else posts a video, ours gets bumped down. Can we create a special page block possibly and call it administration videos? Or is it possible to move the featured video block from the videos home page to the main home page of the site, since as administrators we can control the featured videos.
Regards,

not tried it yet as only just installed dolphin, but wouldnt he html module work for that? Just create html block, then put the embed code to the vid in the block. Works that way on other scripts Ive used.

just tried it, works fine :-) |
Tried that and it works fine with You tube videos, but is there any way to take videos from our site and embed them. I tried to switch the you tube url with the url from our site, but that didn't work. I need an embed code that I can use so we can take videos from our site and put them into the html block. Is there a simple embed code for that?
Thanks for the idea, at least I can have a Youtube video.

Dolphin's video system includes the ability to embed videos. When viewing the video, there will be an embed code under the video information.

Just noticed that. But actually I think that the videos get converted or something when you upload them through the regular upload option. They seem a bit distorted when you use the embed code below the video. So what I am doing now is just uploading our videos through cpanel to a directory I created and then I go to freevideocoding.com and get the embed code and embed the video that I just uploaded to a directory inside of a html block. The picture is a lot clearer. I am not sure what happens when you upload a video through the regular upload option, but it degrades the video a little.
Thanks everybody,
