Justin.tv video embed doesn't work in Firefox
The video embed code (which is actually an object tag) doesn't seem to for Firefox (IE/Mac). Is there another way to embed Flash (i.e. SWFObject) or am I doing something wrong?

Inappropriate?skube, we're looking into it. Our dev here suspects that the Justin.tv code snippet only uses the "object" tag which apparently does not work on Firefox nor IE. However, as with youtube videos, there is an extra "embed" tag to deal with this issue. I'll let you know exactly what the fix is as soon as we know.

Inappropriate?skube, I was able to make it work by adding the missing (and redundant) "embed" tag. So basically you get a code snippet like this from Justin.tv...
object param param param /object with all the attributes filled in. What you do then is insert the embed /embed tag before the closing /object tag. So you end up with.... object param param param embed /embed /object
Here is a sample snippet of the embed thag which you can insert. Just replace the data with the right ones:
<!--
<embed src=" <a href="http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_player.swf">http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_play...</a>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="320" height="270"></embed>
-->
Hope that helps!

Inappropriate?That's weird I really thought Firefox could handle object only. In any case, it works now with it. Thanks Ericson!
I think example embed code was a little off though:
<!--
<embed src="http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_player.swf"
flashvars="channel=mychannelname&auto_play=true&start_volume=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="320" height="270"/>
-->
It basically needed the channel name...
thanks again.
I’m happy
