Spain - why the others envy us...!

Tuesday, July 10, 2012 5:53:33 PM

Music, life, som sabadell, emotions, sunshine, campaign, entertainment, Spain, envy, freedom

A formidable PR-campaign from the Banco Sabadell. This ingenious movie goes about the following. "On the 130th anniversary of the founding of Banco Sabadell we wanted to pay homage to our city by means of the campaign "Som Sabadell" (We are Sabadell) . This is the flashmob that we arranged as a final culmination with the participation of 100 people from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, the Lieder, Amics de l'Òpera and Coral Belles Arts choirs." Enjoy this performance.

Is it just me or is that video embedded funny?

How "funny", Aadil? If all is well it will pop-up in a full window...

It doesn't 'pop-up', it replaces the entire page. And then it doesn't play.

.
I went straight to the link instead!

Hmmm, it ought to pop-up in a new full page, show the movie.
TEST: if you use the Link, can you then switch to Full Page and see the movie, Aadil? Quite interesting to know.
It's just a test, as a matter of fact, for browser on regular PC's and Laptops. I have no idea how this works on other systems.

I can view fullscreen without problems. (except the slow download issue, but that's my ISPs pathetic bandwidth to blame)

No, it replaces the existing page!

Would you like me to visit here with my cellphone to check?

Dr. John v. Kampennepmak2000 # Wednesday, July 11, 2012 8:31:29 AM

I have changed the code a bit (_target="blank" added), so maybe it will work as planned now?
Yes, I am curious to find out, Aadil.

Ok, it pops up in a new tab now. It's definitely downloading, but it's not playing!

On Operamini, it gives me a blank, black screen. (it usually opens the service browser with a 'play video' link)

Dr. John v. Kampennepmak2000 # Wednesday, July 11, 2012 4:56:00 PM

Strange behavior...
Downloading but not playing. Could that mean the format MP4 HD isn't accepted?
Blank black screen, although it ought to open this YT video.
Maybe when I change the Opera embed code. Let's see - I will try this, WAIT Aadil, until I post here it is tested and ready.

Don't worry too much about Operamini though, the link to the YouTube page is enough. (Even hardcore cellphone bloggers like Mik have given up trying to get Opera mini and My Opera to play nice with each other!

)

Well, I am back to (almost) the usual "long" code that works in Opera's blog. I can't get the shorter iframe to work here. If one wants to see things full screen just click the fullscreen button. But the quality deteriorates then. If it's not compatible with you in the "projection mode", it won't work for others as well.
Thanks for your patience and testing, Aadil!!
