    Hi, I don't want to have to upload videos through WordPress as it's quicker to FTP them up to the site and they are bigger than 8mb.

    So I have uploaded videos in .mp4 format via ftp to a directory under wp-content/uploads/
    Then created New Video - Add Media. I tried adding the media by clicking on Insert from URL, but this does not work. When I paste the URL in it doesn't show and returns a 404.

    So I pasted this code in:
    [wpvp_flowplayer src=http://bizbytes.asia/wp-content/uploads/Time-Management-PART1.mp4 width=640 height=360 splash=http://bizbytes.asia/wp-content/themes/subscribelytheme/functions/lib/images/default_image.jpg]

    and that also does not work. When you click the button to play, it gives an error 200 'Stream not found'. However, if I logon to the file directory, it is definitely there.

    Your help is much appreciated...

    Nevermind, I sorted the problem out... it wants the videos to be in the uploads folder. I had it in uploads/videos/ and it didn't like that for some reason.
