# Embed video code & Streaming inline video plugins

 * I came across this code so I tried to make it work on my site. However, all that
   appears is a white box the width of what the video is supposed to be.
 * Also, are there any video plugins that allow streaming inline videos such as 
   flv or mp4? **AND,** allow guests to upload videos to our site?
    Any help with
   this code would be greatly appreciated!
 * I’ve tried WP Video Posts and it doesn’t work right. It puts a link and then 
   when I go to view the link as a video is gives me a 404 error.

       ```

 * Embedding your own MP4 or FLV (or AVI, WMV, etc…) can be challenging. And embedding
   code like that is even more problematic.
 * You’ve probably looked already but have you searched for a plugin to handle that?
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=embed+video](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=embed+video)
 * How are you uploading those videos? I mean do you upload them separately and 
   save the URL path for the plugin or does the plugin you are using handle that?
 * The reason I’m asking is that you got

 * The code you’ve pasted above doesn’t reference a file name, just the path. It
   could be the spaces, or it could be how the plugin works.

 * I uploaded them via ftp and then used Add From Server into Media Library.
 * Yes, I’ve looked at several plugins for embedding videos. However, I was hoping
   that someone who has had luck with streaming inline videos would reply with a
   plugin that works as advertised. That’s how I found WP Video Posts. I’ve tried
   a couple of other ones but I can’t remember what they were.
 * Also, I thought that you could just use the Add Media button but that doesn’t
   work.

 * I think for now you may be better off waiting. WordPress 3.6 will include some
   built in support for doing exactly what you want to do.

 * No, I don’t know when 3.6 will be release except to say “When it’s done”. 😉

 * It _could_ work in 3.6 beta but as I said it’s problematic. On my multisite installation
   I just had to add the video extension via
 * `http://my-url-here/wp-admin/network/settings.php`
 * On a regular stand alone you need a plugin to permit that. I’ve used this one
   but I’ve not tried it for over a year and don’t know if it still works wuth 3.5.1.

 * I ran into the PHP max_file_upload and had to play around with that. And the 
   theme that I am using interferes with the javascript so I can’t use it yet myself.
