Multiple video selection

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
I am really enjoying working with concrete5 it seems that I figure something new out everyday. One issue that I am having is this:

I have multiple video files (.flv) uploaded using the file manager. I have placed these videos in a set named "Videos". I would like to be able to either upload this set of videos to the the c5 player, or display links to these file so when a user clicks on it, the video plays in the player. I was thinking of something like the auto-nav, but only for files. I'm not sure if this would be possible to do easily, but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I am having a lot of difficulty uploading ANY video or audio files through the file manager. It seems to be loading, but in perpetuity. I thought "maybe this takes longer than I thought," so I let it run overnight - literally. I returned the next morning only to find it was still (apparently) uploading the file. The videos I am trying to load are between 1/2 hour to 1 hour in length. The audio files are about 1 hour in length each. Can someone help me? I am not very adept at website building and do not know even half of what all of you have probably forgotten by now, so if you are able to offer any suggestions, could you explain it as though you're talking to someone in kindergarten? I mean, do not assume that I know all of the 'shop phrases,' and how to access all of the files/folders?
If it helps at all, I am trying to load mp3 files, flv and avi files. I am being hosted by Hostmonster, but using Concrete5 to build the site. I've created the block to insert video - but when I click "choose," it will not upload the files. Maybe I'm trying to upload files to the wrong place? If I try "remote" files, it keeps telling me that the url is wrong.......I'm just at a loss here and really would appreciate some help - any help. Thank you.

Try it here:

that's hosted by us.

If your copy doesn't behave as well as that one, either yell at your host - or host with us.

I was having the same problem - this is how I fixed it. Create an empty file, with the file name you want for your video file - upload it through the tool, and then find it via FTP. Upload your real file into that directory, overwrite the file. Then go into the file manager in the dashboard, click on the file, select properties and recan and voila!

I think it might be related to file size - some .php uploaders have problems with files over 2Meg.

Good luck!

thats a lot of hoops.

if your php config isnt allowing large file uploads, theres actually an import directory you can use. check out the more link next to browse/upload in the file manager.. there's an incoming scan where c5 will look for any files in a directory on your server.

I have a set of file that need the following structure.
http://mysitename.org/flash1/player.html....
Now in the flash 1 folder is another set of folders which contain videos and thumbs. These are already loaded on the server. The question is how do I get them into c5 or how do I get c5 to recongize the files? There are serval of these files which contain muliple video and thumbs.
