Hi, this is my first try at uploading videos. I am attempting to upload videos to a GoDaddy site: www.ganderoutfitter.com The videos are very long and I have that I need to upload. I have tried to upload all of them and got an "error while trying to upload" box so I deleted the video and uploaded the site without the video and that worked. Then I tried to upload just 1 video and still got the "error while trying to upload". The files are FLV and they are each of minimum of 60MB. Is there a limit to the length of the video I can use? They all play perfectly in the preview. Also, the GoDaddy account is a basic account so it only holds 5GB of memory. Would that have anything to do with it?

Hi Susan,
I would try going to edit>remove the video files folder and keep the html code on the page. Then use an external ftp program such as Coffeecup Direct FTP or Fileezilla. see if that works for you. :) "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Yes it is I always do that with lg videos, only thing is you can't preview it, you'll just see the html box! "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Okay, one question. What all files do I need to transfer? Do I need to transfer all of the video files? If I don't the video doesn't play on the website.

you would upload the "Adam Hunt_files" folder to the same location as the html file and xml file, and swf "It's A Smart Person That Asks"

Okay, I did all of this and the skin shows up on the page and the playlist shows up but then when you click on an item on the playlist all you get is the blue screen. Nothing happens.

lookiing at the taskbar it looks like it's loading, and with those being fairly big vids, could be why.
I can check the video as I am not able to get into the video folder from here. can you send me one so I can try it, or please put in a support ticket and they can get to it in more detail....:) "It's A Smart Person That Asks"
