cams.com recorded video iframe, anyone get it to work?
 

i've been fucking with this thing for a minute here and trying to get the code to resize the video from 320x240 to 160x120. they give you a sample iframe and tell you to do this and that but i can't make the fucking thing resize no matter what i do.

anyone else get it to work or know how to get it to work and resize the video properly? maybe i'm tired and just overlooking something real simple. here's what they say in the affiliate area for those of you that dont know what i'm talking about.

Use our recorded videos on your page:
Using an <iframe> tag, you can include a reference to one of our random recorded models videos.
Example Code:

<iframe src=" http://cams.com/go/page/cams_iframe_random_vid.html?pid=xxxxxxx" width="320" height="240" frameborder="0">

The default size of the video is 320 width x 240 height. The width of the video can be adjusted by adding the "&width=<value>" argument to the end of the URL (after the pid value). Widths can range from 40-640 pixels, and height will automatically adjust as well (the height is 75% of the width, or 4:3 aspect ratio). If you change the width (and therefore the height as well), the width and height values will need to be adjusted in the <iframe> tag as well.

I've sent one of our techs an email on the subject and will get back to you with the code as soon as I hear from him.

awesome, thanks ms elli. i thought someone here might have it working already and that i was doing something wrong, but maybe it just isnt resizing.

I have gotten it to work in the past, but I found that many of the video clips were very short, and the player did not loop them, so you would end up witha blank spot on your page if the surfer didn't scroll to it fast enough.

I never figure out how to get it to automatically replay. Some of the clips were under 5 seconds.

I thought I had the answer so I did an experiment. What I came up with only works in IE (Firefox chokes), and the video is cropped.

So, I didn't solve your problem, but maybe a view source will give you an idea where we're both going wrong.

My apologies...I'm tired or I'd figure it out for ya.

I suspect the answer is a mix of what you tried and what I tried. It may even work for you. I wrapped it in our css which always tends to cause problems. :error

Good luck. :thumbsup

Forgot to mention...

I only added the &width arg after the pid to the 160 example...

have not messed with it yet but thanks for all the info so now atleast ill know what to do

yeah now you see what i'm saying, i can get it to resize the iframe but i cant get it to resize the video itself like you're supposed to be able to do.

bump bump, anyone got it working?

I tried it as well. It's not passing the video resize info at all (tried IE and FF) and like you said resizing the iframe just crops the video. I don't know why they would put a promotional tool up that doesn't work. :error

I wanted to use it before at regular size but found it kept getting stuck on a model who wasn't live and gave me an "end of show" or "in private" message rather than refreshing to a new live model :Oh crap

Yup. Agreed. The &width= argument is not being parsed on their end. I tried it on a vanilla html page to make sure it wasn't something stupid on my end.

yeah i tried to use it before and got the video to resize but then when it was clicked it went to a 404 so i gave up on it. then i went back and now i cant resize the video but at least it does lead to the join page finally.

could be a cool tool if it just kept playing random videos in a loop and actually worked

I had the exact same issue..finally got tired of messing with it

they're working on fixing it now so maybe we'll all get to use it soon

the code should look like this

<iframe src=" http://cams.com/go/page/cams_iframe_random_vid.html?pid=xxxxxxx&width=160& height=120" width="160" height="120" frameborder="0">

hmm but the variables arent working.

looks like they have the width and height hardcoded for the preloader createSWF("Viewer", preloader, 340, 250, oParams, "transparent");

any news on this one, i want to try it out soon

yes fix please.... fixxxxxxxxxx pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeasssse

and while your at it add a way to specify rows in the whos online iframe ads

This is being looked into momentarily. I've passed it along to a few of our techs. :)

I know it's already being worked on, I just wondered if there was any word on it or if the changes to make it loop and what not might be added. Thanks Ms Elli!

anyone got this working yet?

I dont think this tool works teh way you think I dont think you can resize the flash to any dimension you want, and there is not a current way to Loop a live feed.

but it's not a live feed is it, i thought it said it was just small recorded ones and it says in the text you can resize it, i know you used to be able to but not anymore?

Lars, I think you meant to say

"I don't think this tool works the way we said it does" :winkwink:

and yeah we already know that for a week or more now so you might wanna either fix it or change the instructions.

cosign :thumbsup

The video is not resizable that is something you have to build into flash a seperate flash player would have to be built it has never been able to resize the video.

Lars I copied and pasted straight from your affiliate area the text in the very first post on here where it tells you how to resize the video. It did work previously but that was before your last flash player update.

Lars even if this is the case I find it HARD To BELIEVE that with the hundred of millions you make every year that you can't or wont hire a programmer to create a player that is resizable.

moreover why is it that everyone else can hire a programmer to create an iframe feed that has both ROWS AND COLUMNS yet you guys havent innovated your sales tools in years.

Both of these problems could be fixed for under $1000 and would results in thousands of extra dollars in sales, and at the very least would inspire your affiliates to throw up some links. WHY WOULDNT U DO IT?

Seems to me you guys are getting very LAZY and that is perhaps the reason why sales have been tanking for those affiliates like us that try to promote your program legally on our sites. Thats how clickcash went to shit yanno :disgust

its time to step your game up:helpme
