Uploading Files and getting started

12 replies [Last post]

First I love this player.. The demo in the wizard looks great.
Now I have downloaded the player.

1. which files do i upload.
2.where do i upload them (i use cpanel file manager)
3. How do i set up the html page and where do i upload it.(is this the embed code thats given in the wizard)

help is appreciated..Im sort of a noobie at this it would be great if there was a step by step way to install.
Thanks

Upload:
mediaplayer.swf
swfobject.js (only if you are using the swfobject method of embedding)
HTML document

The most basic HTML page looks like this:

<html>
<head>
...various elements, like title, etc. ...
if you are using swfobject.js, then load the external file
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
...the player code...
</body>
</html>

There are "Tutorials" at the top of this page and more information in the "Players" category.

Can some elaborate a little on this ?

I'd be glad to elaborate on specific points; but first, did you read the tutorial Embedding Flash at the top of this page?

What specific points aren't clear?

I thought I made it clear what I needed to know......
I need to know what directories to put the files and step by step directions how to setup. After hours of looking I do not see anywhere where it shows you how to set this up on your website.
I'm using
Mac
blue host c-panel
wordpress
wordtube
Believe me I have wore Google out

I think this is the heart of your problem — from your two posts above:

Installation
This section describes a very simple installation. The download ZIP contains all you need to get started. First, transfer the player.swf and swfobject.js file from the ZIP to your website.

These directions are not specific where to put the files...... They just say transfer to your site

Is there anyone that has a link to specific directions for installing the player?

I'm trying to take the code that is generated with the wizard and embed that into a wordpress template - video.php.
I don't even know if that's possible.

I got it to work
I did not use any code from Wizard
Referenced the movie stored in my wp-upload file in Media Center in assigned [MEDIA=1]
Then I set the options in Wordtube plugin
Then post [MEDIA=1] in the post

Movie shows in Blog

upload this file

upload swfobject.js

Hi Jerry,

Glad you figured it out.

I have bluehost and a wordpress blog.

I would like to have streaming videos on my website...

I am not sure where to begin to be honest. I have looked through some tutorials but still cant see how to do it.

Thanks for any help

@Richard - Can you provide a link to where you are running this?
