Zisk On Demand: News, Internet, Technology, Politics, Music, and Chess!

We were early Brightcove beta testers, and I’m extremely impressed with their offering. However, there are a number of publicly known issues I’ve encountered. The first (and close to a showstopper for me, the way I work) is that it’s difficult to embed a Brightcove player in Wordpress. I had high hopes that this would be resolved soon and was under the impression that Brighcove and Wordpress were working on a solution. However, I ran into Matt Mullenweg of Automattic, and he claimed to have never even heard of Brightcove, let alone to know there was a problem with Brightcove and Wordpress iintegrating.

Thus, while I’d really like to have a graphic to introduce the video (and though I could possibly figure out how to do this using Enric’s vPIP) I’m just going to post a link to the video and hope that Brightcove and Wordpress get their collaborative acts together, and solve a conflict which shouldn’t take more than a few hours to work through if they were to start communicating. I see that someone wrote a Revver Wordpress Plugin to do (what I believe) is exactly what is needed here, and I’ll try it out once Revver approves the video. Though someone recently complained to me that it takes Brightcove an extremely long time to approve submitted videos, I believe they are mistaken, as all the videos I’ve uploaded to Brightcove have been made available automatically, within seconds.

Anyway, here’s a link to another episode of Zisk On Demand:News, Internet, Technology, Politics, and Chess!
