Embed BlipTV videos with emfield module: use file URL, not embed code

Agaric's (ok, Ben's) patent pending Solution-first, random notes after, presentation:

Use the file URL, not the embed code or play URL or anything else.

You can get the file URL by clicking on "This episode's permalink" - that's the URL you want to use.

http://blip.tv/file/821430

Again, that's "file" and a number, NOT "play" and an alphanumeric code (such as http://blip.tv/play/AbLEB4u1Cw for the same video), that you want to put into your "Video: *" field.

Blip.tv videos not embedding properly--YouTube, Vimeo work fine

Some people want to make it so you can use the embed code, not just the file URL, but it seems we can live without it:
