Sling Media Launches Embedded SlingPlayer

Posted on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 by MegaZone

Sling Media Logo Remember last November when Sling Media launched SlingPlayer for Facebook and I tried to see if the player was embed-able in other sites, with disastrous results? No? Well, that happened.

Anyway, they’ve now launched an actual Embedded SlingPlayer, which you see here:

Actually, that’s one of two options, called the Launch Pad. That pops open the player in a new window, and it is designed for embedding within blogs and such with limited width – like this one – as it is 500×200. The other option is the Full Player, which is just what it sounds like, and is 768×800. You can get the code to include it in your own page from their page.

It is Flash-based, and should work in any Flash-enabled browser on any platform, including Linux – and likely on any set top boxes, gaming consoles, etc., which will run Flash. Go head, give it a try and leave a comment.

    Cool. I will have to try it in the ps3 browser.

    Sadly does not appear to work with the flash in the PS3.  It loads and you hit that first button that says Login, but then a a black frame.   So close.

      Did you try the ‘Full Player’ or just the Launch Pad that I posted here?  If you just tried the Launch Pad I’d try making a page with the Full Player embedded and trying that.

      I have a PS3 but need some time to play with this.  I’m probably tied up tonight and tomorrow night I’m off to see TMBG in Northampton, MA.  Busy week. :-)

         I had tried both, no joy with either.  Such a shame.

          That’s too bad.  I wish they wouldn’t ignore the possibilities.
