Hello @rinustp
I’m sorry, but what do you mean with:
…Unfortunately it is not possible with the free version to transfer large files from an external url…
Our plugin does not upload or import any file to your WordPress, it simply call the “Media Library” of WordPress and delegate in WordPress to upload process. If you cannot import large files, you should check the directives in the PHP settings on your web server.
By the way, you can play the external audio file directly, without importing it to your website:
Please, insert the following shortcode on your page:
[cpm-player skin="classic-skin" width="100%" playlist="true" type="audio"]
[cpm-item file="https://demos.dwbooster.com/audio-and-video/wp-content/uploads/resources/3.mp3"]External Audio[/cpm-item]
[/cpm-player]
As you can see in the shortcode the audio file is hosted in an external domain.
Best regards.
Your example works, but I am trying to get this URL played but I get this error message.
Media error: Format (s) not supported or source (s) not found Download File: https://aekinga.nl/aekinga.nl/Video/AaldertDassen.mp4
A shorter version from the same folder will play.
What is wrong?

Hello @rinustp
The URL provided cannot be played, because it is not a media file. If you visit the URL, you will see it opens a “Page not found” page:
[video src="https://aekinga.nl/aekinga.nl/Video/AaldertDassen.mp4" /]
Best regards.
After a few days of searching, I now know that the URL was indeed incorrect and that the video was therefore not played.
I now have the correct URLs and now it works great.
Codepeople, thank you for the quick response and help.
