Hi Janine,
I’m having problems bringing in videos and playing them via Dreamweaver. I have 5.5 version. I insert, go to media, then down to plugin, browse, bring in my MP4 video, size it and then click the play button on
property mgr, but it still doesn’t play. Here is the message I get. “Unable to find plugin that handles this media type.” DW can’t find the configuration in the plugin folder.
What does that mean? All MP4s will play on my desktop with no problems.
Not sure what Dreamweaver is asking. NEED HELP, PLEASE!!
Nikki
Hi Nikki,
Dreamweaver can only play videos in the Flash format. Dreamweaver is has limited browser features for testing, but that’s not a problem, just a limitation that requires some testing be done in a web browser. It appears from your email that you’re doing everything else right.
You can use Dreamweaver to insert your videos, as you have, and then use any browser to preview the page the video is on by clicking the Preview button in Dreamweaver. If the video plays correctly in the browser on your computer, then you’ve done everything correctly in Dreamweaver and when you transfer all of the files to your web server, the video should all work just fine on your website.
I hope that helps,
Janine
