Tips,Tricks, and known issues:

Setting Correct Link Paths:

Depending on your server configuration you may have to use one of several paths to link to your media.

#1 : Directly linking to your path on your server

https://www.myserver.com/myfolder/mediafile

if this gives you an error, try:

https://myserver.com/myfolder/mediafile

#2 : Linking to a folder direct

/myfolder/mediafile

if this gives you an error, try:

myfolder/mediafile

You may need to use www. for one link and https: for another - If any function is not working, try changing the path.

If your player shows thumbnails or no images - Check the path your using - If you livesite is set to your domain without a www. then you need to use paths without www.

One of these options should work best. Try different options to get the best results!

Firefox has some known issues with streaming audio and video - If your video or audio starts and then stops suddenly, you may want to close and and restart your browser.
