Hi I am new and tried the demo webvideo player. I used dreamweaver to upload my content and the other files. I added the skin in and it shows up and plays the video great but the right and bottom side are cut off about 1/4 inch. The size in the xml file is the same as the size of the html insert. I have tried varoius things but my knowledge is limited in such things. My demo version has expired but I would like to see if I can make it work before buying it.
Here is link to the site it is on.

I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks so much,
Skiparope

you have some issues with your xml file. The buttons are all off and your player is sized wrong. You might want to have technical support look at it.

Hi Skip,
I had a look at your page, and was betting that it looked better on FireFox than it would in I.E. Well, I was half right, at least there was no white border, lol.
You say that you did not change the sizes, but they are indeed changed and all out to lunch. You can't make the box bigger or smaller using the code, and the code does not match what the program would create. Example from your web page code:
<p align="center"><object classid="....... width="372" height="350">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="myvideoplayer.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="319" height="301"
/></object>
I took out most of what has nothing to do witht he size. The object tag is for I.E., and it says width=372 and height=350. The object part is for other browsers, and it says width=319 and height=301! See where we have a problem already? When I go to your .xml file, it says w="320" h="301".
the .xml file is close to one of the sizes, but still not right. I'd have another look at the sizes provided with the custom skin and stick to them. E-Learning Specialist

Hey thanks all for the fast responses. I sure don't disagree that there are some size issues because I saw the differences also and tried to change them all back to width="372" height="350" and thought they stayed there but I guess not. I Promise I used the xml file that it wrote and only changed the # of video files in the menu but as I said I am not to handy at this. I also copy and pasted the html file from the one the program made. I am sure willing to try and redo all if you think it will help along with purchasing the software.?????? Please let me know what processes I may need to change.
Thanks so much,
Skip

Oh after writing this I went to dreamweaver and it shows my code is <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="372" height="350" id="CC5735222" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="myvideoplayer.swf"/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="myvideoplayer.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="372" height="350"
name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

Try making another one,with just one song and save it with a different name. Then take a look at the sizes from the html code and the .xml code and see if they match up. Then choose a different skin, save with different name again and check sizes and if it works.
Could be you simply are using a bad skin design??? E-Learning Specialist

Thanks Cliff,
I will go ahead and buy the program because I think it is simply OK. Then I will try another one and start from scratch on the site with the new files except for the video files since they are almost all 300 MB each.
Is the purchased version any different than the demo. I noticed different version or upgrades???
Thanks and if you have anymore advice please let me know about it.

I really don't know if there is any difference from the demo version, unless there have been recent updates.
You say that your videos are "almost all 300 MB"? I have to ask....have you tried these on-line? Those are absolutely huge files to try to play on the Internet, and most web hosting packages don't come with enough space to host several files that large. Have you looked into the file size limits for your hosting plan? Do you run your own server? Even "unlimited" hosting plans will try to limit anything beyond what they call "normal" space requirements. E-Learning Specialist

Hi Cliff, We are using www.Bluehost.com which gives us over 600 GB of space with almost unlimited bandwidth.
We have been doing .wmv files and they would have to download most of the time for media player to play them and I didn't know how to make them stream on most all comp.so I wasn't happy with that and that is why I wanted something like webvideo player. Plus it looks more professional etc. I think you get the picture. Bluehost keeps adding more space but not sure if it is for existing contracts or not. I think they now give 1500 GB storage. Anyway, If you have any more great ideas I sure want to hear about them.
Thanks again,
