web player
I just tried to use Web Player for the 1st time. I converted a Quictime video to Divx using Quicktime Pro. I took the converted Divx file and uploaded it to my hosting account. When the Web Player form asked for file URL or path, I entered the directory on my website where the file is. I got following message:
"the video has to be in divx format. You can use Divx to convert it. Here is the address for the free download of Dr. Divx..."
This IS divx video and what the heck is up with that? I tried a few times with same results. I have flash videos hosted on my site so it's not like I'm totally crazy...
ANY HELP is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
I'm using latest version Divx Pro for Mac. I am running Mac OS 10.5.2
Hello,
I've tried to embed a divx movie in an standard html page without success. I used the SDK code generator and have the movie uploaded to my web host. I initally used the generator on the divx site and was able to preview the movie successfully but the embedded html page is blank except for the black background. I can link to the movie and download it to the Divx player. Do web hosts have limits on what types of movie files can be embedded? I have no problem with flash.
Thanks for your help

Can you share a link to the page where the code is embedded?
Give us a URL we can take a look at, otherwise it's hard to diagnose the problem.
First, thank-you for your reply. I'm new to the forums and think I may have posted in wrong one, but here goes... I haven't been available for a few days but here is where the file is...

Thanks-Again!
You discovered a bug in the web player code generator. I'll have to fix that, In the meantime though you can download the Webplayer SDK and use the code generator that is in there, it will work.

The issue is that the divx directory in your UL is misinterpreted by the code generator here on labs.
Thanks for your reply.
I downloaded the Webplayer SDK as you suggested and the code generator works fine. Now I just have to put the DivX download link on the pages I embed the videos.
I am experience a couple issue with the web player.
1. using the code generator or the sdk generator, I still get an error on the site (404 error) "video cannot be found (404 error) it appears to have been removed from the server... - and its not
2. trying to test from Dreamweaver, I get the following error :
" unable to find the plug in that handles this media type,Dreamweaver looks in the "configuration/plugins" folder and the plugins folder for each installed browser.
Any ideas would be helpful, probrably something stupid I overlooked..
Thanks
