* I added an iMovie I made in my ftp folder and now need to code it to play on
my blog however I could not find the proper html needed to add this. I searched
the forums and web & everything I tried came up with an error on the page. Can
someone help me out? I also wasnt sure if I needed to install any plugins. The
format is .mov – thank you for your help!

* I also should mention I did not want to add it to youtube then embed that way.

* You’ll need a player to do that.
* I use the JW Player plugin.

* Thanks guys, Michael…I installed the plugin and followed down to the settings
now here is where my stupidty ( understatement of the year ) comes into play.
Now that I did all that, how do I actually get the video to show/play? I had
to miss a step obviously. Thank you!

* When you create the page or post for the video, click the upload icon at the
top of the editor.
* JW Player installed a link called “External Media” on the upload screen. Click
that and put the URL in the field.
* You will also need to choose the player at the bottom of the image screen and
click the “Insert JW Player” button.

* Michael, I am SOOOOO close!! I have done what you said and if you go to my page
gianluca.mobi and click on test you will see a link that loads the video and
below that the JW Player that is a playbox with the arrow but doesnt pull the
video. It even says 0:00 for duration when it should be 4:09. What tiny step
am I missing that you can spot out in a split second? lol thank you again so
very much!!!

* You have a YouTube URL. You will need to enter the complete URL including the
http:// for the video you want loaded in the player.
* I don’t think it will work with a YouTube URL. Those can be embedded without
the player.
* If you’re using some kind of widget then that could be the problem. The plugin
is designed to add video to content. That is how I use it.

* When you say I have a YouTube URL what do you mean? The URL I’m using is [http://www.gianluca.mobi/wp-content/uploads/2012/GianlucaiMovie.mov](http://www.gianluca.mobi/wp-content/uploads/2012/GianlucaiMovie.mov)
* It’s weird that when you go to the page test you can see a link that says Gianluca
and when clicking on it the video loads but below it you see the JW Player and
it’s just an empty box. I keep looking at all the fields and everything seems
to be filled in properly. I’m so close lol!

* I created a small player (200 x 100) and added the URL.
* This is what I get in a post.

* wow no clue how u do that with such ease but I got it to work on my page now
thanks to you. The only issue I am having is that bc of the load time I am assuming
after about 7 seconds it resets back to 0 seconds whereas yours plays from the
get go. How do I go about creating the player like how you did 200 x 100 and
I can tinker with the size to see if that effects the load time. Again thank
you so much! I feel like I should send you $$$ via paypal lol. ( i’m serious )

* You can create players under the JW Player admin panel.
This plugin uses a shortcode
to insert the player and video. It should look something like this:
* [jwplayer config=”player” mediaid=”176″]
