The helper grants you access to all configuration flags for the player. Grab it here, happy baking!

As a side note, whilst fiddling around with this helper I found it interesting to note that Vimeo directly link to the .swf file in their embed code rather than using a Wrapper Script to log incoming embed locations – I presume they are trawling their Apache logs instead – still seems a bit backwards…

VimeoHelper source code after the leap

         *      @return String HTML output.

        function getEmbedCode($vimeo_id, $usr_options = array())
        {
                // Default options.
                $options = array
                (

                );
                $options = array_merge($options, $usr_options);
               
                // Extract Vimeo.id from URL.
                if (substr($vimeo_id, 0, 21) == ‘http://www.vimeo.com/’) {
                        $vimeo_id = substr($vimeo_id, 21);

XSPF describes itself as being an XML based playlist format for digital media and is sponsored by the Xiph.Org Foundation.

I have been trying to keep the implementation as close to the vanilla XSPF Version 1.0 schema as possible and keeping all CNET Specific data in <meta> and <extension> enclosures with accurate rel URIs. I am going to spend the next few working days attempting to implement this template into the next version of the CNET Networks UK Player and creating the parent script which will generate them from our CMS.

For those that are interested my current XSPF schema follows:
