Videos in website

Hi Gary, thank you very much for the offer. When you say…to a folder on your hosted server, Go Daddy is the hosting site, so, I presume you mean, copy the videos to my files on Go Daddy. Is that correct?

Yes, that is correct. You would use an FTP app to create a folder first, then upload your videos to that folder. The folder just keeps them together for easier maintenance. You can test whether this is successful thereafter using "https://my-domain-name/my-video-folder-name/my-video-filename.mp4"

e.g. in my case I have all the videos in a folder called Assets and can access and play any videos through a link (such as) https://initiostar.co.uk/assets/ParsonageBackSoon.mp4

Thanks Gary, when you say …use an FTP app to create a folder first, does this mean that in Go Daddy I create a folder then import to that folder the video files?

Yes Roly, that should work though I'm not familiar with Go Daddy.

Hi Gary, spoke with my friend and he prefers the one with the list of video names, the one that is displayed in Video-JS-Player.car

Are things done differently in this scenario?

Thanks

Hi Roly - the first step is still to get your videos loaded into a folder on your Go Daddy server in the way I've described earlier. Once you have uploaded a few videos, give me the links to 2-3 of them and I will provide you with a working demo of your plugin. You can then add more videos to the library and the list.

Thereafter the next step is to embed the plugin into your main website, but let's get the first step working. When I see the target main site, I'll be better able to advise.

Thanks Gary, I will try and load the videos tomorrow.
