Cannot specify video share link

[pnmitchell]

Please see the following URL - 

http://www.nexcelom.com/BCtest/BC-test.html

I have the external javascript working fine so I am not asking for support on that. In the example URL above, what I would like to know is how I can have the "Get link" feature to show http://www.nexcelom.com/BCtest/BC-test.html rather than http://bcove.me/wpykwym0 which is what it currently says. I tried changing this info in the player, but then I just get the webpage opening in the window rather than the video.

Thanks

Hello,

I think you will find these two docs useful:

http://support.brightcove.com/en/docs/customizing-link-url

http://opensource.brightcove.com/project/Share-Link-Override/

Thanks

Thanks for the response and information. I tried a simple embed version of a single video using the single video player. I changed the settings of the single video player to Host on Your URL and entered http://www.nexcelom.com/BCtest/BC-test.html. I still get the BC link when I try to share the video.

Can you take a look and see what I may be doing wrong? Thanks

You changed "host on your url" properly as thel link takes me back to your page rather than link.brightcove.com, but I don't see a custom linkBase param like:

<param name="linkBaseURL" value="http://www.nexcelom.com/BCtest/BC-test.html" />

Please add this to your single video player embed code.  I think this is what you were trying to achieve.

Thanks

That did the trick for the single embedded video. Any ideas on how to make this work with first video that opens in shadowbox effect?

[BC-Jonathan]

It looks like that is a different player with it's own embed code.  So you would add the same param to that player's embed code.

I am not familiar with the specifics of shadow box so the steps may be different.

Thanks

I think that is the problem. The player is being referenced (linked) by the URL, not the embed code. With that being the case, how can I specify the share link?

I believe you can add linkBaseURL to the URL parameters.  Or you can set this using the player API from within a Module loaded in your player:
