This is a test.

I’ve been playing a little with this iPhone streaming video client recently, and want to have any videos I shoot with it eventually show up here with no intervention from me. This is phase one of the test, wherein I see whether the embedding actually gets passed through to all the places that RSSify it. If it works, then I’ll see about automating things.

Please let me know whether or not it works wherever you are reading this. Particularly if it doesn’t. Thanks.

1. The post shows up in LJ, but the video does not. This is likely an LJ problem that you can’t do anything about. I would just add a little "click the link to see the video" text and be done with it.

2. Don’t you wish the iPhone’s camera and screen were on the same side?

3. I heard George Lucas was going to re-release Return of the Jedi with the Ewoks replaced with Gungans.

Thanks for the bug report. Why must the internet make things so difficult?

‘course, I am being sneaky too. a service called qik.com does that actual live streaming, and preserves it as a .flv file, which I am telling my flash player to play. Nuts. But that’s no biggy, it’s just that the blasted embedding doesn’t survive the RSS trip, and I have no idea why.

I hate the internet.

I’m hoping George releases the Gungan equivalent of The Ewok Movie: Battle for Endor at some point. Or maybe just re-release Battle for Endor with Gungans helping out.

I do wish the camera were on the same side as the screen. Also, I wish there were just one on both sides.

Shows up and plays in the RSS sidebar I have on my site.

It works fine for me. (Well the half to three-fourths of it I watched, as I’m not a StarWars person and really had no idea what you were talking about. [And have never seen them.])

Bit grainy, but I’m not expecting perfectness from a phone.
