How to Embed a Dynamically Updating Channel

by Jeffery Reid on Sep.04, 2009, under Misc

For embedding a Dynamic Channels that displays the most current items in their current order whenever it’s accessed.

Details

  • Get the embed code for any channel from Mevio
  • Then, you will have to edit the code in two places to remove the references to "cMediaId=XXXXXXXX%26" (example: "cMediaId=6878671%26" ). The cMediaID value refers to the specific episode you were watching when you chose to embed your channel. The default behavior is to always start playing that episode in the embed. Removing the reference results in playing back all items from your channel in the order you currently have them.
  • Stated again: the resulting embed code will then play your channel from the beginning rather than a specific item from your channel.
  • Here is an example of it working: http://apologia.typepad.com/reid/2009/07/ic-tech-channel-dynamic.html
  • Note: test this each time you use it since if you miss just one character it won’t work at all.
