Insering hyperlinks in Flowplayer - hyperlink

I would like to insert clickable overlay banners in flowplayer? Is it possible to do it using content plugin: http://flowplayer.org/plugins/flash/content.html

The page you linked states that the Flowplayer Content plugin can be used to "to layout text, images, links and even SWF files over or beside the video screen, " which to me sounds like: Yes, you can make clickable banner ads.
Additionally, Flowplayer supports many advertising services, including AdSense, Doubleclick, and Open Video Ads.

Hide "Open in app" banner while using Universal links

I'm using Universal links and everything is working perfectly but I can't seem to hide the Open in app banner which shows in the safari. Is there any way to do this?
There's nothing you can do about that really, it's a feature of Universal Links and gets injected automatically by Safari.
Usually, they're hidden until you overscroll the content.
What goal you are trying to achieve by using Universal Links?
Usually developers are using Universal Links if they want for all/part of the website to be viewable in the App. From this point of view, screenshot you posted is a failure, because Universal Links failed to engage. Possible reasons can be if navigation to the Universal Links domains happened as redirect.
If there are specific pages on your website that you don't want become viewable in the App, you can use exclusions list in associated domain file. Check out this example http://amazon.com/apple-app-site-association . In this case navigating to the "/ref=nodl_" will not open the Amazon and will not show the banner you are mentioning.
Hey you can hide the smart banner by edit your apple-app-association file in the root directory of your website. You can control the banner on the pages you want to show.
you cannot hide the banner while using the universal links at the same time.
You can only hide the banner where you do not want the universal links to work by restricting the paths in apple-app-association file.
If you want to hide the banner form all the pages just add
"paths":["NOT /*"] in details object in this case universal links will not work.

How do I embed a Vimeo video without the Vimeo player?

I couldn't find a proper explaination, tutorial or thread online explaining the following: I "simply" want to load a Vimeo Video (where I have a pro-Account) without controls (play, pause, timeline, whatsoever) just the pure video (also without the black bar top and bottom) and stream it within a div I created. I want the video to be always fully filling this div.
How can I use the Vimeo-API to do that? I found examples of the Vimeo-API but nowhere I could find anything regarding loading the plain video file.
According to this answer, your Vimeo videos should have a "play in external player" link (Pro account required):
Go to your Video Settings and Video File, at the bottom there is a section called Use Your Own Player, you'll find there direct urls to your video.
You can embed that direct URL in a player of your choice - e.g. a <video> element:
<video src="http://player.vimeo.com/external/85569724.sd.mp4?s=43df5df0d733011263687d20a47557e4"></video>
You can create that <video> element using JavaScript, as well.
A plain <div> element can not dispplay video without some element to aid it.

How do you display your overlay logo on embedded videos?

I can't seem to find any documentation anywhere that states how you can display your overlay logo with link when embedding your video?
After attempting to copy the URL format used on the overlay settings page, however it always reverted back to the DailyMotion logo.
http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/<video_id>?
GK_PV5=1&
api=postMessage&
apiKey=<apiKey>&
origin=<origin>&
ui-watermark_link_url=<link_url>&
ui-watermark_url=<watermark_url>
To clarify, is the logo only displayed when the video is shown on the DailyMotion website, or am I doing something wrong?
To put on overlay on your Dailymotion videos, you don't need any code, it's only a setting in the overlay settings page you mention: http://www.dailymotion.com/settings/logooverlay
You need to have monetization enabled to access this feature.
Basically, you only have to upload your logo on this page (when logged) and this will add a logo to the bottom right corner of your videos (whether onsite or in your embeds).

Full screen Vimeo Video Issue & YouTube Player API Reference for iframe in IE7

I have a site (which is only viewed using Internet Explorer 7) that is made up of 5 sections and in section 2 I am currently using Vimeo to embed a video. The requirement is that the user has to watch all of it before proceeding to the next section. In order to achieve this I have used event listeners which only activate the ‘Next’ button to proceed when all of the video has been watched (Works Great)
Another requirement is for users to be able to play the video in full screen but the problem I have using Vimeo is that it does not support the option to hide the progress bar when a video is playing in full screen, this allows the user to skip the video. After researching around and contacting Vimeo support I can confirm that hiding the progress bar can only be achieved when viewing the video in standard mode when you have subscribed to the pro account (which I have).
I looked into targeting the CSS classes within the iFrame, and setting a display none value on the controls div but this is something that can’t be done.
I have looked at using YouTube as an alternative and you are able to hide the progress bar in full screen using this markup
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C0DPdy98e4c?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0?&fullscreen=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=1></iframe>
I’ve done some reading on using the YouTube Player API Reference for iframe Embeds (https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference) but it says that one of the requirements is that the user's browser must support the HTML5 postMessage feature - INTERNET EXPLORER 7 DOES NOT SUPPORT IT :(
Could anyone suggest how I can achieve this, either by hiding the progress bar using vimeo in full screen or by implementing the youTube Iframe API to work with IE7?
Cheers
Paul
I don't see a parameter to remove the controls in a Vimeo video on their page on embedding. Also, the Vimeo FAQs say that the control bar gets hidden on an embedded video when it's less than a specified number of pixels wide.
You might have to do some sneaky CSS styling stuff instead. I did manage to find an article on hiding controls on an HTML5 video when viewing it fullscreen, but it said that IE does not support the full-screen API, so I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do is actually possible on IE.

Open Cordova iOS external links in webview like an iFrame

I'm building an iOS app using cordova that basically opens news links to external sites. However iFrames don't seem to want to play nice on iOS. Is it possible to use UIWebView much like an iframe? I want to just embed a box on my app page so I can keep my apps header navigation and such. Instead right now opening links just pops the page up over everything.
