Brightcove Publisher Blog

Formerly, if you published a player on a page served by HTTPS, some browsers would generate a security warning. We've modified the JavaScript publishing code and added a secureConnections configuration parameter, so that you can now publish a player on an HTTPS page and not generate this security warning. Read more about how to publish a player on an HTTPS page.

Note that this does not cause the Brightcove player to use HTTPS; instead, it simply prevents the viewer's browser from generating security warnings that might otherwise be triggered by the player's communications.

Grant,

I was playing around with this a bit, because we have an iframe that is served over https, and within that iframe we display the brightcove player.

I added the <param name="secureConnections" value="true" /> to the object tag. In addition the JS files are loaded also over https.

This works well on most browsers, but on Opera and Netscape Navigator I am still getting the security warnings about the secure and insecure content.

BTW, this happens both if the iframe is loaded from a http and https page.

Version Info:

Opera 9.64 build 10487 - Flash 10.0.2.54 on Win XP Pro

Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.6 - Flash 10.0.2.54 on Win XP Pro

Unfortunately we don't do any official testing on Opera or Netscape Navigator so we won't be able to determine their specific behavior. They may manage their security dialogs in a manner that is not compatible with this feature. We primarily focused this HTTPS setting to remove security dialogs within IE.

I checked out this page, http://support.brightcove.com/en/docs/publishing-brightcove-player, but as i see that code is for BC 3. Can I just assume and use the same parameters for previous codes, like below

- <param name="secureConnections" value="true" /> would be like this: config["secureConnections"] = true;

- <script src="http://admin.brightcove.com/js/experience_util.js" type="text/javascript"></script> would be like this: <script src="https://sadmin.brightcove.com/js/experience_util.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Should that work???
