media player add in

[jk]

I am new to web page and i just install the plug in for media player for the
front page 2003 that i have on my desktop. I went to edit page with frontpage
and the web site opened along with the media player add in but when i tried
to do an insert i received an error " You cant insert a media player unless a
web is opened" . The add in is there so i dont understand this error.

Do you have a web open? File, Open Site. Then try it

Thanks that did it. One more thing, i have a 75 meg mpg file on my desktop so
is it better to import this video file directly into the media folder or let
the add in do this function?

Thanks,

 

[David Berry]

I would import it

Many hosts will block publishing any files over 1 MB
- that is the default max file size set in the FP SE
So you may get publishing errors

If you really want to use a file that large
I would recommend importing it in a folder named say Media,
- creating your media player links,
- then converting the Media folder to a subweb
- that way you can Publish your web (w/o subwebs) and FTP the huge file separately to the Media folder

PS
I would warn all your users that the file is 75 MB

When you FTP only FTP the file and not any of the _vti folders or you'll
corrupt the FrontPage Server Extensions. Are you streaming the file or just
having the user click in on? For such a large file you're better off
streaming it.
