 * Hi. Very sorry but I am only starting and do not have much knowledge of WP and
   Cool Video Gallery but will learn fast! Please help though! I have installed 
   WP through my own website host and have installed a theme for uploading videos
   where I want people to be able to comment directly under them. This theme is 
   called TETRIS and I have also installed the Cool Video Gallery plugin. But I 
   can’t get them to work together. I want to upload videos from my local hard drive(
   I’m on a Mac). When I try, no thumbnail of video frame appears, just a square
   of code. Any help and advice gratefully received. Sorry for being so dumb. Heres’s
   my site – [http://www.stevieoconnell.com/wp/](http://www.stevieoconnell.com/wp/)
   Big thanks!

 * The URL is not accessible. Also what is the error you get when trying to upload
   a video to gallery added?
