Video Player Embed Code

The MTVN Content API includes an embeddable Flash video player for most returns in the <media:content> node. Here's how you'd take the information from that node and format it as an embed code.

<embed src="MEDIA:CONTENT URL"
     width="448" height="366"
     type="MEDIA:CONTENT TYPE"
     allowFullScreen="true"
     name="player1"
     allowScriptAccess="always" />
