Hi john,
question, did you make or use the Web Video player at all or just the media menu? The reason I am asking because if you used CC web video we are way off and nothing is shown.
From what I can see I'd like to start over by doing this, using Coffeecp web video player, if you have it- or send me your files for media menu and I can try it , then give you the steps to insert it. Even better would be an online link for us to view.

The way it looks now is there needs to be a resource folder, and in that folder should be your jpg and FLV. outside that folder should be the xml, and the html code listed above should be on the page. :)

Hello again and Thanks for Helping!!

Getting back to just using CC web video player. Instead of media menu. Coffeecup Tec support says anytime I make changes on my site with using VSD it reloads all my video files. That is why I have so much hour glass time.

Is this the way it is with VSD ? What do others do when they have alot of pages ? Support says if a have a misspelled word and I corrected it I have to upload it to make the xhange and it will load my entire site again. For me its hours!!

John,
If you were to add the code from Web Video Player, to your page using the flash tool not the html tool--you have to browse to find the xml file that the video player makes, when done this way VSD automatically adds all the nessesary files to make the player work. Now just click on save but don't upload.At this time you can preview it - to make this work you'll need to upload the myvideoplayer_files folder ( or whatever you named it). You with me so far.?

The reason for this is sometimes when you just copy the code into a page, it doesnt read it because VSD makes a log page and if it isn't looged it won't work. So we are going around it.

So before you upload your site you'll need to go to settings, remove files, and remove the flv, jpg, and leave the xml , make sense.?

NOTE: having alot of pages isn't a bad thing really , but it is time consuming because VSD doesn't really know what page your working on and what you did, so when you go to upload it will go thru all your pages and it it notices something has changed, it will note it and move on, and after it checks all the pages it will only upload the changed page/s

I wish I could show you....

If you have a server, like lunarpages, 1and 1, or Godaddy, whomever, just upload your website to your host



NOTE: do you have direct ftp or filezilla or something for an ftp client?

Here's something I don't understand: My main VSD site has an image gallery (created with the CC app) with dozens of images in it. When I make changes to the web pages and upload, VSD does not re-upload all of those images; it only refreshes the pages themselves. Why would the video jukebox then want to re-upload all those videos after just making a small change to a web page? That makes no sense, it's not consistent. I'm thinking it only insists on doing the full upload the one time, then its little internal database shows them as done and it won't try to do it again unless the videos change.

Of course, it's the initial upload in this case that'd be the killer, but still...makes no sense to me.

The file can't be open in Coffeecup web video player or just the flash tool
