Amazon WS so not user friendly

orisin · 08-17-2011, 11:13 PM

I have been spending a all day trying to figure out how to embed my videos from amazon ws to my membership site, unsuccesfully, it's amazing how such a well known service can be so hard to configure, I've seen similar posts about this issue. If anyone has an easy to understand tutorial on how to embed videos from amazon ws to your website I'd love to see it, or if you can recommend another video hosting service

Tnx

YouTube/Vimeo works. Use JWplayer http://www.longtailvideo.com/ if you self-host.

or use FLV Player - Flash Video Player Components for the Web with Amazon AS3 if you know how to code.

That's the thing though, why isn't more user friendly, why do I need to know how to code? I don't want to use a free service since it's a paid membership site and I can't lock videos just for members

We have a whole section dedicated to Amazon s3 at The College of Marketing,

but do a quick YouTube or google search and you should find a video walking you trough the process.

Let me know if you need help at all I'll what I can do.

Thanks for the reply, I actually spent a whole day on google , youtube and different forum and couldn't figure it out, as embarrassing as that may be.
I uploaded a video to a bucket and I get a link to the video
I created streaming distribution through cloud front
I have flow player and JW player on my wordpress site
but I'm not sure how to get the video to play in the video player(:

Is the video in flash format. .Mp4 etc???

We use S3FlowSheild to lock and play everything

also make sure you have your permission turned off for the videos

Sure , and do I have to have a software to convert the wmv to a flv file?

orisin · 08-20-2011, 12:56 PM

SO I was able to get the video to play but it only plays sound! I hear the audio and don't see the video, I googled it but couldn't really find a solution any idea why that would happen?
