Adding video to a wordpress membership site. Help.

The JW Player Plugin for WordPress makes it extremely easy to deliver video through your WordPress website

There are a lot of video plugins for WordPress - just do a search in the WordPress.org site.

The JW Player WordPress plugin may have improved with recent updates, but I had a very bad experience with it earlier this year.

Cheers,

Erm. If you're just using JWPlayer player (which is just a flash player in your browser) then it's trivial to extract the URL of the video file on your server and share it with friends.

You don't mention what membership plugin you're using, but we've developed an add-on for Your Members that allows you to put your content on amazon S3 which can't be accessed directly and the web server communicates with it to generate an unique URL to it that expires very soon after, so even if somebody extracts the URL, it will stop working very shortly after.

One little point that is not often mentioned is that the video needs to be on a server somewhere to begin with.
re only members seeing it - you need software that obscures the link so it cant be shared - they will have a player built in
flowplayer for wordpress works well for .flv videos
after install use the code on your site
[FLOWPLAYER=https://yourvideourl.flv,600,450] where 600 = height,450 width
I recently wanted to add a number of videos to one page
settled on Shadowbox JS plugin - puts the videos in a cool lightbox -
I could then use thumbnails(small images) to link to the video lightbox
using this code

<a rel="shadowbox;width=640;height=480" href="https://myvideourl.flv"><img title="Click Here to View Video" src="http://myimageurl.png" alt="MyKeyword" /></a>

A very good - and free tool
