HI Mark,

Unfortunately we can't delete posts from the GetSatisfaction forum, so you will have to remove the Overlay yourself. You can do one of two things, either delete it, or unpublish the Overlay. Both options are located below the Overlay on your "MY PAGE."
Hope that helps!

Thanks
Sian

There has been a modification to this issue. While there was a change made to make it possible, we have found reason to not implement it as of now.

We are looking into other ways to implement this feature.

The player will be receiving some additions and fixes in the future so make sure to keep an eye out :)

All the best!

Hi! This is the way I coded my site but the embed code is still visible as an option for the viewer. Here it is:

Hey Mark, I looked into the "embed off" option for you.

I've added a control system to the embed feature that now checks to see if embed=false or true in the embed code.

You can now type embed=false in the same manner as the other variables in the embed code and it will display;

"The embed feature is currently disabled"



The fix should be implemented later on today.

I hope this takes care of that issue for you.

Hey Rob, in reply to your earlier question;

To remove the Turn On , Turn Off tab just add this piece of code to the embed;

showAds=false

It's added in the same manner as the other features, like turning create off.

We are currently working with the carousel being able to be turned off and should have a resolution shortly.

Thanks for the quick reply! Is there also a way to block viewers from embedding it into their blogs or web sites? Trying to keep an eye on competition ... – Mark, on September 16, 2008 19:19

Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to post your question.

The variable showRecommended is what determines if the player displays the recommended videos at the end.

inserting this line of code into the embed;

showRecommended=false

will disable that feature.

When placing it in the embed make sure it is after a '&' symbol, as well as followed by one at the end IF it is not the last variable.

Seen here;

flashvars='...&host=http://www.overlay.tv/&showRecommended=false'

You can see it is the last variable in the flashvars section of the embed code, hence does not need a '&' following it.

I hope this answered your question.

All the best;

Graham Jerome
