I created a new Mango plugin, now you can add blip.tv videos easily using the Mango Post tool in the admin by adding a simple tag [bliptv:postId]. All you need to do is pass in the post ID when creating a new post in Mango and the video will display in the position of your posting.
It is pretty basic right now. I ping blip.tv''s API, pass them the post_ID and do some xmlParse/xmlSearch stuff and it returns the embed code. The plugin just outputs that and displays it in your blog. Like I said very simple and basic, I haven't figured out how to modify how the player gets displayed, such as height, width, options the player has on it, etc.... feel free to improve upon it :) You can thank my dog for waking me up at 6am on a Saturday morning for getting this done.
You can download the source here.
Just drop the bliptv folder in your "components/plugins/user" directory and it will display in your Mango Admin under Add-ons than all you need to do is activate it.
I got the idea after seeing a Thermo Video on Ryan Stewarts blog and figured what the heck, if WordPress can do it Mango can!!
Apart from pay per click, the other most preferred way of online marketing is going for email marketing. Of course this means reliable web hosting is necessary.

I am looking for options for uploading and showing video. Do you know what the maximum size of the player can be in Blip.tv?

I should take a change, and usw the Mango blog.
Do you constantly add new skills?

This looks to be very cool, I've just downloaded, installed and activated the plugin but I'm unable to get it working, I wonder if you could advise as I suspect I'm doing something wrong.
When writing my article I place the example code you give above into my article where I wan't the video to appear, like so:
"this is an example paragraph, look at the video below.
[bliptv:2339068]
did you like the video, I hope so."
However this does not embed the video, it simply appears as the text '[bliptv:2339068]' in the middle of the article on the blog.
Appreciate any advice on what I'm doing wrong.
Rob

I've tried your plugin with a few other videos and it appears to work nicely.
