Inappropriate?can i add a media player to my website? -
Inappropriate?Hi alphaboy
Which media player would you like to add to your site? Since I am not sure, I am going to send you the instructions to add a Windows Media player:
1) Go to: https://secure.burtonhosting.com/help...
Download and copy the HTML embed code for the player.
1) In SynthaSite drag and drop an HTML widget onto your page from the sidebar on the right.
2) Paste the embed code over the default tags in the editor.
I hope this works for you. Let me know if you run into any difficulties.
Best wishes

***My QUESTION***
-I have followed these steps and have the Windows Media Player On the site.
-I used SynthaSite(s) File Manager to upload a ".wmv" video I would like to play in the media player.
-I added the "file name of the .wmv videos to the embedded Windows Media Player HTML code; in 2 locations within the code.
???---- What am I missing? How can I get the .wmv videos to play in the Windows Media Player? -
Inappropriate?is there a way to align the video? center? left? right? in such a way that text flows around it?
thanks
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Hi Babak
Your best option here is to use the two column layout widget.
Drag and drop the two column layout widget onto your page. You can then drop the video widget in the one column and the text in the other.
Drag the green center axis of the widget to resize the width of the columns and drop additional two column layout widgets inside eachother to increase the number of columns.

Inappropriate?Here is what it looks like in preview mode, with some text added around the video:

Inappropriate?Monique, thanks for the feedback but I found a more elegant solution on my own. Here it is applied to an image, but you can equally apply it to anything:
[[img style="float:right; margin-left: 20px;" src="URL" alt="blee blee" title="Blablah"]]
where 20 stands for the margin in pixels
URL =URL
and the gobbledeegook is the alt and title tags
if you want to change it up, switch right/left, etc.
whooop!
ps for some reason the code tags are not working so substitute [[]] for <>
I’m happy

Thanks for this. It is great that you could use code to get the perfect solution. Thank you for sharing this trick. Get Satisfaction will try to interpret any HTML that you paste, so I am glad to see you managed to find a workaround.

Hi Chowder - on when you're viewing the video on youtube, you copy the url at the top of the browser. Back in your SynthaSite, in the Properties of the video widget, you delete or paste over the default URL and click on 'Apply' at the bottom and your video will load!
-
Inappropriate?Chowder, for an image, the url would be the location of the image file. For a youtube video, it would be the location of the swf file. For each youtube vid you can look up the embed code.
for a video you also have to use these attributes:
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="330" height="280"
as well, you can't use "img" cause it isn't an image, you use, [[embed]] tags
just add the style="float:right; margin-left: 20px;" to make it stick to one side or the other that's all
if you still don't get it, go to http://rendur.com/ and play around with the code until you do, that's how you learn!
good luck little guy!
I’m silly

We don't currently have a tool that allows you to upload your video and play it on your SynthaSite. But I can suggest an alternative: upload your video onto another website like Youtube or Google Video and then add one of those widgets to your page on SynthaSite and browse for your uploaded video.

what is posted down below ayoutube embed code:
" -
Ignore the above....:((
Replace any youtube embed code's embed source and value e.g. (one in quotations) embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZmQ_lnNO8e0&hl=en&fs=1&"
with the location of the video IN YOUR COMPUTER.
e.g.C:\Users\Sandy\Videos\Assembly.wmv
Now, you put in the HTML Editor -
Steven - thats not going to work, it may show on your computer but not through the internet.
I like this site to add videos to my sites http://www.freevideocoding.com/

Inappropriate?Hi Siobhan,
Do you get any error messages when trying to paste the video URL? You would need to paste the URL over the default URL in the properties sidebar in SynthaSite.

Can you email us, support@synthasite.com with the embed code that you are using and we will have a look for you.

Inappropriate?Can I embed my custom Video player from youtube on my webapge? Thanks DaleL
-
Inappropriate?What I do, is that on youtube, veoh, etc... is I get the embed code that is usually under or to the side of the video, and put it in an html box on my website. You should automatically have the video up, and be able to modify the size if it's too big or too small.

Hi Romy - those thumbnails you see at the end of the video are part of usage of the service. If you visit Youtube, you'll see that they also show thumbnails as the end of a video. If you want to remove them, I suggest contact Metacafe Support to find out if it can be done (www.metacafe.com)
