Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

It would be great to promote the Universal Subtitles on the microsite.

The instructions at http://universalsubtitles.org/en/ look simple, just add the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s3.www.universalsubtitles.org/js/mirosubs-widgetizer.js"></script>

I wasn't able to get this to work, however.  I wonder if it's related to the fact that the videos are displayed in the interstitial dialogs, or maybe to the fact that I was testing the website locally, without a fully-qualified URL that the USubs could use to identify the video?

I don't think this is urgent, but we could try to add it later.  I'll try to test some more and will report back.

Hi Staś-- what's the URL of the page that you are trying to use the widgetizer on?  If you can't give that out, maybe you could send by email?   nicholas - at - pculture - dot - org

Also, it might be just as easy to use the embed script for the individual videos, depending on how many you have.  You can submit them to the front page of universalsubtitles.org to get the script.

Started hacking on this. Will work on it tonight and assign it back to Staś if I don't crack the code.

This is working on stage.

I've emailed Nicholas details for a code review and feedback on some crashiness.
