Embedding VOD/AOD media in a lightbox overlay
It is possible to play back a video from your VOD/AOD space without using the usual link if you wish to embed the video in a lightbox overlay, for example, using a similar method that is used for YouTube videos (http://www.youtube.com/embed/DxawCFRSwts becomes with parameters: http://www.youtube.com/embed/DxawCFRSwts?rel=0&autoplay=1&wmode=transparent&width=1080&height=720&modestbranding=1&autohide=1 in order to start playback automatically, remove YouTube branding, remove clip previews at the end of playback, make the menu bar disappear automatically, etc).
With our iframe-based implementation, simply take the URL from the iframe without the surrounding iframe tag to obtain similar behaviour. You will end up with an address in this format: http://vod.infomaniak.com/iframe.php?player=1234&vod=123&url=nom_group_vod/1234/5678/titre_video.mp4
Options may be added to this address to make it easier to embed:
