Having trouble embedding local hosted videos.

I imported the .wmv definition
Added my site name as instructed.
Uploaded my .wmv video.

Paste the link in a post....

It shows the player > I click play > It says "Connecting to media", and then nothing.

This made me think I must not have gotten the syntax correct on the link, but I've triple checked.

Frustrated, tired and hoping I'm missing something simple so y'all can laugh.

EDIT: Forgot to mention: vB 3.8.4

it's not working on my forum

Hello DJ,

I'd like to give mention that the URL for google maps works well... if it's using the .com extension.

However, I'm in England, and it doesn't convert when using the .co.uk extension.

Could you possibly include this in the next release for the 3.8 series?

Thank you.


Can you post a link to the page in question?


Specifics, please. I can't help you unless you're specific.


Yes, I'll update it. In the meantime, try replacing the \.com in your RegEx with \.co[m\.uk]+

I can't import the the files locally or from the server

I can't import the master xml from the AME CP or from Products

I keep getting.........

CLueless

Digital Jedi, i think i found out why Gametrailers is showing so much gibberish code arround the player area. There seems to be some kind of conflict between Game Trailers definition and Game Trailers (old) definition. If both of them are active and i try to insert a new link, i get the gibberish. If i disable the old definition and try again, everything looks ok. The problem is i can't disable the old one, as i will lose a few hundreds, maybe thousands of threads with video links. Is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks in advance !

Have you tried re-downloading the Master XML? You never, ever need to import these XML files through your Product Manager.


I don't remember if I took a look at your forum or not, since I've looked at some many in the last couple of months. But I don't recall what the exact problem you were having was. Game Trailers (Old) shouldn't have any effect on the other definition, unless for some reason, the old URLs are sneaking in there somehow. Can you give me a link to your site and maybe temp ACP access so I can take a look (again?)

Sure thing Digital Jedi: Here is an example: http://www.consolegames.ro/forum/f8-...os/index2.html but you can see it all over the Videos area: http://www.consolegames.ro/forum/f8-videos/

So how exactly do i import it, i've never ever been able to upload xml files locally, always have to import from server.

I have re-downloaded the master, while trying to upload it locally from from AME CP .....

While trying to import from the server with AME CP........

It's a very odd behavior, that I have been in no way able to duplicate. There's no logical reason why the two def should be conflicting, because the removal of the word player changes everything in the RegEx and it won't even parse. Could you verify for me that your running AME 2.5.6?


You must be putting the file location in incorrectly. I named my files with spaces, so an upload from the server would probably want some characters in places of those spaces in the file name. Why not just try something simple. Upload it to the default location in the AME CP: ./includes/xml/ame.xml and rename it ame.xml and just Import it from there.
