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.
I keep trying it on the youtube site on my itouch, and the error of this video does not currently support ipod comes up. is there a fix coming for this?
Did anyone try video hamster did not work but it sound to me that it depend on the web sight so what is a good direction should in and what works and what web sight to go to that might work? Thankyou so much for helping if you can also good luck to everyone.
kewego.fr, svp!
I’m on the new 16G 3G iphone. No luck using the program. Any tips for using the program. Anything left out.
I have the 16g 3G iPhone and itransmogrify doesn’t work. It sucks. Don’t waste your time.
Without knowing which sites didn’t work, there’s not much I can do with your comment.
Can I just announce that Apple and Adobe are now working together to create Flash player for the iphone, so hopefully we won’t have too long to wait!
Awesome job, works just like you said it would; just a site here and there that doesn’t want to cooperate.
Megavideo, svp
Love your tip for installing the bookmarklet directly to the iPhone. I made a bookmarklet that transforms any bookmarklet into a link that can be installed without syncing. Here’s the bookmarklet: iPhonify Bookmarklets. More info about it is at http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/sanson7/gizmos/. One cool thing about it is that you can use it to help install itself!
Oops. Looks like that link won’t work for the bookmarklet—some of the code has been stripped out. But the bookmarklet on my website works.
Hulu would be nice. . .. probably not the first to ask :)
thanks!
does this work on only on iphone? what about ipod touch?
thanks!
Yeah, Hulu would be pretty great. And I would love to be able to access Comedy Central’s Daily Show and Colbert videos.
