File Structure and uploading for Multiplaylist videos
Permalink
I have a multi video playlist which depends on folders. in the folders are videos and thumbs. How do I get the folders which are already on the server to conrete5 so that they can be seen by the FLA?
There are over 40 videos over 56mb each. Is there any way I can set this up to work with c5?
If not can I code the html page to work with c5? What is the best way to do this.
Example of file structure
file:///R:/mysite name.org/sub name/King%20Alfred/player.html
This is the way it is currently setup on our server under regular html.
Help! Thanks

Hi,
Are the URLs hard-coded into the FLA, or are they editable through something like an XML file which gets loaded by the Flash project?
If the URLs are hard-coded, you may have to use the "base" parameter when you embed the Flash movie, to tell it to load relative URLs from a path other than the SWF's location. This should let you find a folder inside of your theme or outside of Concrete where you can store your files.
On the other hand, I find it nice to be able to maintain my content without leaving Concrete. If the player's data is XML based, you might consider looking into the Flash Embed plug-in on the Marketplace. It lets you set up your XML and your files on the server.
If you're okay with using a different player, you can also consider using the Flash Video add-on and embedding each video individually.
If none of these options fit your needs, then maybe a different kind of block would be ideal. I have a couple things in the back of my mind for supporting multiple video files, and otherwise would be interested in finding ways to help people deliver great websites.
Let me know if you have questions or if you can explain more about whether the URLs can be changed, and what kind of player you're using
Do you need to preserve the same structure, or can you set up new URLs
Most of the time, you can change your URLs by editing an XML file which complements the Flash project. Other times you may be able to pass a parameter into Flash when you embed it on the page.
There's a few ways to do this. Do you know if it is possible to edit XML for the project, or pass a Flash embed parameter?
Here's a couple different approaches:
1. Embed your HTML code, and store your files outside of Concrete
2. Leverage the player in a theme or page type, and store your files there
3. Use XML or Flash embed parameters to
There's a couple ways you could do this.
Concrete5 lets you add external pages into the sitemap. If necessary, you can set up a page outside of Concrete, but still give it a URL inside your page.
Another option would be to leverage the theme system. Although the most common way of building a site would be to use one theme and use the left sidebar, full width or right sidebar page types, you can define your own page types or use more than one theme on your site. In theory, you could create a page type or a theme that's completely devoted to your special HTML code, and leverage that.
Lastly, I've given Flash within Concrete5 a great deal of thought. The key, I think, was finding a way to make Flash get along without having to rewrite the Flash. Sure, it's nice to have a custom block sometimes, but other times

I am using a xml playlist with a pre built multi video flv player.
Here is the player setup on another one of our sites.

We aretrying to set this up on our other site using conrete as we will be redoing all of our site with Concrete so we need to figure this out.
thanks

[at the current time we are looking at do different Naviagation menues one from auto nav and the other us encoding a separate menu from html. The Problem is that we are not sure how to code the pages example href="(?)]
Thanks for your help.
