Using iFrames to embed flowplayer 5.4 - php

I'm using the following code to embed flowplayer on one of my sites.
<IFRAME SRC="http://mydomain.com/video/9" FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=360></IFRAME>
The link mydomain.com/video/9 has the flowplayer video with 100% width / height. Using an iframe on another will have work initially, but if I refresh this error comes up: html5: Video file not found so then I go back to the initial link mydomain.com/video/9, also displays the same error html5: Video file not found. But If I go to the original location of the video, the video still exists!
Then I remove the iframe from the other site, and the video magically starts displaying on mydomain.com/video/9. Why is that, and how can I make it so it allows iFrames?

creating links that function within an iframe of a php document

I have an application form I need to work into an iframe, but I'm having a hard time with the links for it. Because the iframe was initially giving me errors, I started a work around by having a workaround.php file made that would be read as:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><?php echo file_get_contents($_REQUEST['url']); ?></html>`
Then in the iframe on my page I wrote:
<style><!--iframe.Application {
overflow: hidden;
}
--></style>
<iframe width="100%" height="800px" style="height: 100vh;" class="Application" scrolling="no" src="https://www.mywebsite/workaround.php?url=https://theotherwebsite.com"></iframe>
This worked out very well and I now had the form loading seamlessly onto my website. The next issue was that the links are not working. Any root-relative link within the iframe form was linking to "https://mywebsite.com/page2" rather than to "https://theotherwebsite.com/page2".
Now the manager of the website with the form would be able to change these relative links to absolute links, so this isn't a huge obstacle. To test if it would work, I edited the links in my browser to be an absolute to:
<a href="https://theotherwebsite.com/page2">
For this the iframe refused to connect. I'll need to continue to use workaround.php. Next I tried:
<a href="https://www.mywebsite/workaround.php?url=https://theotherwebsite.com/page2">
For a moment, I see the 2nd page load within the iframe, but then the page opens outside of the iframe in the same tab & window. Additionally, the page that loads is "https://www.mywebsite/workaround.php?url=https://theotherwebsite.com/page2"
At this point, I'm unsure of what link would function and stay within the iframe. I tried to add the "_parent" target.
<a href="https://www.mywebsite/workaround.php?url=https://theotherwebsite.com/page2" target="_parent">
but this changed nothing from my previous attempt. I tried likewise with _self and _top to find no change. _blank still functioned to open the page in a second tab.
At this point I'm not familiar enough with iframes to know what else to attempt. I hope my explanation of past attempts and results is easily understood. If any of you have a suggestion of what could be a solution please let me know!
TLDR: How do I open a link within an iframe of a php document without it opening a new tab?

HTML5 Audio not playing after src URL injected in

I have something like this on page load:
echo "<td class='audio'><audio controls><source src></audio></td>";
I then make an ajax call based on click to pull relative audio URL's from an API I'm working with to be used as the src.
Upon visiting one of those audio URL's in a separate tab, the audio does in fact play. My thinking is that it's not playing where I need it to because it doesn't get a source until it needs it (used ajax to cut down on load time due to rather large API calls).
Any thoughts?
Your source tag is missing the filetype information. Even is src is replaced by src="your_path/your_file.mp3", it also needs for example type="audio/mpeg" for an mp3-file. The full generated HTML code would have to be something like
<audio controls>
<source src="your_path/your_file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>
This is work me,or may be you can remove the <source src=""> tag and add src="" inside of the <audio> tag

full screen button in video tag missing

full screen button in video tag missing when page containing video is loaded externally on another pages div
I have a page external.php . In this page when i use the following code
echo
'<video width="400" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>';
i get a video with full screen button in it on chrome.But when i try to load this external.php on another page (home.php) div the video is coming but the full screen button is missing.But in IE there is no such problem.
You can either solve this via CSS OR Fullscreen API.
1. CSS
I think you can accomplish this by changing the css for the #document fragments, these are DOM1 specs and supported by all browsers, but about the styling, I'm not sure. The following solution is webkit specific.
You need just to write this code in your css:
video::-webkit-media-controls-fullscreen-button {}
2. Full screen API
If you want to accomplish it by Fullscreen API check below demo first:
Demo Full screen video
As you can see a very simple demo showing HTML5 video in full screen, make sure you're using Chrome dev, webkit or firefox nightly.
For more detail you can check it here.
Browsers may provide a user interface, but shouldn't provide a programmable one.

Embedded videos don't show up

I have a web site I'm working on and for some reason some of my videos don't display. The first videos display but the next one's don't.
So first one looks like this:
And the rest look like this:
I know the url's I am using are correct, I dump them to the screen and navigated to them to make sure they weren't broken. This is in chrome, same thing happens in IE.
This is the code I am using to embed:
<iframe width="420" height="315" alt="Jesus Culture" src="<?=$row?>"
frameborder="5" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'm using similar code to yours for multiple videos on one page,
i.e.
<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/video-code" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
Make sure that your urls have the embed format. Also try to place the src value hardcoded (no php) to check whether in that case displaying multiple videos on the page will be an issue.

Loading external website with PHP file

I'm using JQuery to resize an iframe to make it have the same height as it's content, it works perfectly though it only works if the content is in the same domain.
I need to display external content so I'm making the iframe point to a file in my server which in turn should display the external content:
<iframe src="frame.php" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize="noresize" style="width:100%; border: 1px solid black;">
How do I make frame.php display the content of the external domain?
In case you need more info here is the answer on how to do it (he explains everything excepts how to display content in the php file):
AutoHeight IFrame
Thanks
So you want to fetch the contents of an external site?
This will work, but it'll break the layout when the target page has non-absolute URLs and relative links:
frame.php:
<?php
echo file_get_contents($_GET['url']);
?>
<?php echo file_get_contents( "http://example.com" );?>
Somethhing like that will do
Unfortunately, php isn't the correct language to be doing this. In order to determine the height of the document in the iframe, you would need to make a javascript call from the parent document (where the iframe element is) to the document referenced in the src of the iframe.
In the case where the src of the iframe is on your domain, you have full permission to use the DOM of the document to get the document's height, as per the same origin policy. When you load a document from another domain, you do not have permission to query for the height. What the answerer of your question seems to be suggesting is setting up a proxy on your site so that the same origin policy would be circumvented.
However, there going to be other issues with that (ie relative links on the proxied page, etc.)
