I don't get it

How does the mod randomize videos if I only put the number of the video in the string?

Is there a way to set it up so it will randomly take a video from a channel?

Like say, a video from the CNN Youtube channel, then one from the Fox News channel, then one from MSNBC channel?

If this doesn't do that will you please consider making that happen?

Cheers!

I haven't found a clean way to pull random videos from multiple channels. would be nice and something I am looking into.

This pulls a random video out of the list you provide. you can put as many videos links into it as you want. It will pull one of those videos randomly during each page load.

I have 12 on my channel. as I upload more videos, I just add that new video to the script. I'd rather have some control over the content of my site than pulling random videos from multiple channels.

Since I have a political web site I need to be able to post the newest stuff from the news sites. They update their stuff daily so I can't keep track of which things I'll put into this mod.

Even if you had it for one channel would be ok. Then add a randomizer conditional for the other sites.

Just a thought

I'll look into it.

I tagged it, the widget looks nice, but being able to pull from certain channels would be perfect.

I haven't forgotten this. I've been busy coding sites. When I get some free time, I'll reattack this.

The installation of video work.. When you refresh the page cms, represent several videos and they do not go on video [0], vidéo [1], vidéo [2], vidéo [3] etc... Mais elles font se représentent par exemple : vidéo [0], vidéo [1], vidéo [1], vidéo[1], vidéo[2], vidéo[3], vidéo[1], vidéo[4],... The videos don't follow every time we refreshes the page.
