iTransmogrify update
The main iTransmogrify! script has been updated with a bunch of new functionality:
- YouTube.com pages are now supported (see notes)
- Daily Motion videos are supported for new-style urls (see notes)
- Kink.fm player and listings page are now supported
- Sideload.com play links are now supported
- WordPress Blogs using Viper Video QuickTags are supported for YouTube
- All media links now open into new windows, so you won’t have to re-transmogrify a page with several media files after playing one. Note that this is dependent on the iPhone, sometimes it will blank other windows)
- Some content in iframes will now be converted.
- MotionBox, Viddler and Vimeo embedded videos, while not supporting iPod/iPhone alternate content, now link to their respective detail pages.
The main bookmarklet code was updated. This was necessary to workaround a frustrating oversight with Google Code hosting. Everyone will need to update their bookmarklet, in the future all updates will be automatic.
This has turned out to be far bigger than I ever imagined. Thank you to everyone for the links, feedback, compliments and ideas.
Known issues
LiveJournal pages redefine a bunch of core JavaScript functionality, breaking all kinds of stuff including jQuery. Additionally, they’re serving media in an iframe from a different domain, meaning JavaScript couldn’t access the frame even if they hadn’t broken it.
Notes
YouTube Internal pages
Because of a strange iPhone quirk, these links all need to go through the Google redirector, otherwise they bounce back to uk.youtube.com instead of playing.
DailyMotion
DailyMotion videos using new-style urls, which are usually about six digits long, work correctly. Videos using the old-style alphanumeric ID do not work yet. I’m probably just going to resort to building a simple web-service to grab those. Additionally, there is no way to programatically access the mp4 alternate content url, so I just linked to their iPhone pages. I’d prefer embedding QuickTime directly, but it’s just not possible yet.
this is pretty cool but will we be able to view wmv files someday???
Do you think we will ever see this for break.com?
Would itransmogrify ever support megavideo?
Is there any way we can view full episodes on CBS.com? I have tried everything to iTransmogrify various contents and cannot get it to open up in youtube. Please help!
Is there an estimate of when will this work with all kinds of video websites?
It would be awsome. I would like to help in anyway i can.
i have tried this over and over again and absolutley nuthing happens ive tried all the methods available tried it with iphone and safari on my laptop doesnt work ive delted the bit of code at the neginning of the address and i have bookmarked it a thousand times and still nuthing what on earth am i doing wrong doesnt work for me atall
@lee What pages are you trying it on? I have a test suite listing pages that are known to work here: iTransmogrify Test Suite
Don’t have my planned touch yet, but would this let me use pandora.com? Will that already work?
You ARE a hero! Now i finally cann watch my blogspot.com-site (and these of friends..) with embedded Flash-Vids like Youtube.
THANK YOU, God of programming-universe !!
:-)
..great job, really..
I havent had any luck with this either. What firmware are you testing this with?
nm… aparently im just dumb as a rock and dont know how to use it.
note to others: go to a web site where flash content didnt work and you see the little cube where the flash should be… then use the iTransmogrify bookmarlet.
enjoy!
This dosnt work for the NEW 16gig iPhone that came preinstalled with firware ver 1.1.4, i cant edit url in the bookmarks. only the title, plz help.
Thanks for itransmogrify, http://www.surfthechannel.com would be nice to have working too.
Itransmogrify is awesome! I wonder if it could work with imeem too?
Chad, you have to save the bookmark as is and then edit it from your bookmark list.
Can u get newschannel 5 to work
How about crunchyroll.com? havent worked for me yet but will keep trying.
re: crunchyroll.com
None of the h.264 videos I’ve tried on CrunchyRoll will play on my iPhone. I was able to get everything else working on my end, and if their videos would just play I could roll out support immediately.
I posted about this to the CrunchyRoll forums:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-1/Site-SupportHelp-Ask-technical-questions-here.html?pg=431#8534031
I’ll probably just include support in the next release, maybe the site will magically start working someday,
does this work with the iPod touch?
Hey Joe can you plz respond
im having issues with the itransmography…everything works fine but when i access youtube.com and click on the the bookmark and then the link to the video the redirect webpage does not show up all it does is sends me to the same youtube webpage
PLZ help
@MAx I’m testing an update which will address this. Google changed their redirector which breaks MobileSafari’s YouTube sniffer, which is why everything keeps bouncing back to uk.youtube.com.
I’m hoping to have the update online this evening, you won’t need to do anything, it will just start working,
what about animemangafun.com ?
hey I’m typing this on my iPod touch. I’ve hears that itransmogrify works on iPod touch too. I was wonder if it was possible to get itransmogrify to work on a 1.1.4 iPod touch straight outta the box. Its NOT jailbroken or n e of that shit.
its not working for me… youtube aint workin… how do i update the bookmarklet? i went to the do it from the iphone itransmogrify link, followed all the links and stuff about editing my bookmark… still no success…but i remember that prior to the restoring of my iphone i have came across a bugfix for bookmarklets… what i remember was it was saying something like this: enabler for safari bookmarklets… anyone have any idea where that was?
I’m testing now and will hopefully, really have the update on the servers in the next hour.
hey joe I love the things your doing but can u please make It work with worldstarhiphop.com Im on the site all the time
Joe, can you make this work on fling.com video chat or ivideo.com videochat sites?
*ivideochat.com
hey Joe, I have an iphone 16 gb, cracked with ziphone. I did everything u said, but when the cube comes, i go to itrasmogrify, but the program does not open anything(it seem it works few second then it stops and cant open anything. Do u have advices?
Thanks a lot
Nicolò
Is there any chance that this might eventually work for the XM online music stream that is Flash based? It does not work now, unless I am doing something wrong???
hey isecks they do have a break.com site but i dont think u can search
anyway the site is
iphone.break.com (dont put in http://www. or http://)
Hello Joe, thanks for getting this happening. I managed to get it all working for my Touch version 1.1.4. I was able to see the videos on your own site but I can’t get it to work with videos on other sites. Do you have to be involved in redirecting every url with embedded youtube content? Or does something special need to be done to the embedded content in order for the redirect to take effect?
here’s a link with an embedded video on my own site which I can’t watch

to be honest, what I’d like to see in this would be a way to play flash games with this…
Hey, Joe: I’d love to get this working, but I followed the instructions, rechecked to see that I deleted the correct stuff at the beginning of the iT bookmarklet, and then went to one of the pages on your test suite and get nothing at all to happen.I’m using an 8 gig iPhone with version 1.1.4… Any thoughts? Thanks!
I booked marked it three times and when I tried to use it, nothing happens. I have the 16 gig iPhone with 1.1.4 software. it didn’t work for me. I am using Videohamster right now, however I can’t seem to get more than 20 seconds worth even after registered. So freakin’ frustrated.
Anyone can answer this one:
Why do people downgrade their iPhone software from 1.1.4 to the old 1.1.1? What’s the benefit of that? Just curious. Saw many video instructions on YouTube.
Thanks.
i want to listen to bbc radio1. this bookmarklet does not seem to work there. have you tried it? how to make it work?
