AboutKen Ivey Expertise I've been developing websites for almost 20 years. If you have questions like these, I can help! Should I try this myself or hire a professional? What tools do I need? How do I sell products online? How do I make money with my website? Can I create a website without buying expensive software? How do I design a website FAST? How do I market my website? Is a BLOG a website? How do I put video on my website? What is website hosting? When will search engines find my website? OK, I've found a site I like - but now what? Can I make my website a subscription site?
Experience I have over 20 years of practical experience with web-related issues, and some military computer training. I've worked for a computer manufacturer, and own a small technology company specializing in web-design, hosting, and internet media production. I am the webmaster of several sites, and e-newsletter editor for Rotary District 6760 which is comprised of 65 clubs throughout middle Tennessee.
Education/Credentials I'd like to say a diploma from a revered educational facility hangs on my wall, and perhaps someday it will. In reality, everything I know has been self-taught, much of it done so in the hallowed halls of that venerable institution called "The School of Hard Knocks". (I have taken courses at a local community college, and received military computer programming training as well.)
Question I have a church site created on word press.
I need to place archived videos on the website.
I move the complete streaming video to the ftp and create a link on the website . It takes some people 3 hours to start the video. Some less . I see sites where you click a button and the video starts then.
Help please.
Answer Steve - you may wish to use a video player plugin instead of creating a link. The plugins will allow http streaming to begin immediately, instead of having to wait for the entire file to download before playing.
You'll want to embed the player in a Post or Page and tell it which video to play.
Here's a link to great info on the subject, as well as player downloads:
