Video on a website with VSD - Page 1...

Hello,


I tried with no luck FLV Media Menu Producer, It will not play on my site.
I can get the single file version of FLV Producer to work but not the Multi -Media Menu FLV Producer. Can someone look at this code and tell me what I need to do?


Also,
I have alot of hour glass time when I put video onto my website using coffecup web video player VSD? I currently took all my video off my site grandpajack.org to start over again. But when I started loading them up 1 or 2 at a time my hour glass got longer and longer and longer so I stopped again.

When uploading minor adds or changes it checks or (sync) my flash files everytime. I never even touched the page where I have them. It could take up to 10 mins for just one 300 mb file.

Anyone have any suggestion how I can display several video files on my site ? With decent quality??

Thanks
John Callahan


This is the code copied to clipboard and then using HTML in VSD. Yes, I also ADD the files under the settings including the files in the resource folder.

John,

Not entirely sure I understand the question, but I'll take a stab. When you "add files" to a VSD project, it is going to want to upload all of the content you added when you publish the site. If the movies are already up on the server then you might want to avoid using "add files" and just make sure they're in the folder where they need to be. If they're not on the server already then it would seem you're stuck with the long uploads, at least the first time.

With respect to the code you posted above, are you putting all of that into the HTML object? If so, you're probably confusing the browser. VSD already creates the DOCTYPE and the <head> and <body> tags and all that, so you're duplicating them--in the wrong places, no less. The only portion of that code that should go into the HTML box is this:

<param NAME=salign VALUE="LT">
<param NAME=FlashVars VALUE="xml_file=resources/mediamenu.xml">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="resources/2008_races.swf" FlashVars="xml_file=resources/mediamenu.xml" quality="high" scale=noscale bgcolor="#ffffff" width="711" height="400" name="player" salign="lt" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

For that code to work you're going to have to make sure you've uploaded the file mmpcode.js, too.

Does any of that address your question(s)?

Spinny,

Please see attached.

I have tried adding what u suggest with the HTML tool in VSD and then adding the files related.

So, are you trying to play your .flv files using the CoffeeCup video player? You seem to have two complete sets of .swf files there, one called 2008_races and one called irishmyjukebox; I'm presuming the latter is the CoffeeCup version. You appear to be pasting in the code to call the one that's in folder resources, which I presume is created by whatever other software you were using, but the .flv files are (I'm guessing) in folder irishmyjukebox_files which was (again I'm presuming) the one created by the CoffeeCup video player. When you saved the CoffeeCup version it should have given you the code to paste into the HTML box as well as a list of the files that needed to be uploaded. You're not going to get that other player to work with the files and folder structure created by the CoffeeCup one, which is what it appears you're doing.

Perhaps if this is published somewhere a link to the page would be useful.

Hi John,
there's couple things we can try, since Spinny and myself have no idea about this media menu program your using so you'll have to be patient with us please.
In your add files jpg I see that there is an xml file in the resource folder, can you go to the add files in VSD and add that xml file again without placing it in that folder and then give it a shot. let us know.please

you may be right Spinny, I see an xml file in the resourses folder, which if the html was copied to the page, it also points to the resource folder then the xml may need to be outside that folder as well.

I just did a test Spinny and John, where if you were to use the flash tool in VSD (assuming your using the CC Web Video Player) and load it that way, if you save it right after that, and then remove the files (flv's) you can still upload without the FLV's and it should still work.
