How to use the Recorder

1. Add the following to the bottom of your HTML page, before the </body> tag 

<script  type="text/javascript" src="http://api.seesmic.com/js/pkg/seesmic_standalone.js"></script>

2. Have a Div tag such as the following: 

<div id='recorder' style='display:block; clear:both; width:100%; padding-top:5px'></div>

3. To create a recorder instance within the tag, use the following javascript: 

seesmic.player.createRecorder($('DIV_ID'), 'SITE_NAME', 'VIDEO_ID_TO_REPLY_TO')

for example: 

seesmic.player.createRecorder($('recorder'), 'my web site', 'I3CFMk9wOo')

4. After a video is being posted, it will call the javascript 'videoFromRecorder'. You can implement the function to perform any actions you want upon a video post. For example: 

function videoFromRecorder(videoUri, title, url_thumbnail, recState, hasTitle)
{
  alert('videoUri ' + videoUri + ' title ' + title +  ' thumbnail ' + url_thumbnail + ' recState ' + recState + ' hasTitle' + hasTitle)
  return 'posted'
}

5. You can do validation in the videoFromRecorder function. To show an error in the Recorder use the seesmic.recorder.setError function. 

var name_is_blank = false
function videoFromRecorder(videoUri, title, url_thumbnail, recState, hasTitle)
{
  if(name_is_blank)
  {
    seesmic.player.setError('please fill in the name');
  }
  return 'posted'
}
