For something that should be so simple, it has proven to be quiet challenging for this beginner.

Am I uploading my videos to the correct location (s2member-files)?

Can I use any video player or do I have to use JW Player as others have mentioned here?

I know zero about coding, where to place it in my blog. If you can break it down for me in the simpliest form that would be so appreciated!!!

Hi sandrad,

Did you read the inline documentation at WP Admin -> s2Member -> Download Options -> JW Player® & RTMP Protocol Examples and try the first example (JW Player® ( MP4 file, via Rewrite URLs. Amazon® S3/CloudFront NOT required )) that's explained there?

Well of course not. I'll try there.

Are there places I can go to outsource this part? Elance maybe?

Yes, please see here: s2Member Install Help / Projects / Custom Coding viewtopic.php?t=4158

Well I tried the first script example from WP Admin -> s2Member -> Download Options -> JW Player® & RTMP Protocol Examples but no luck. I could not even get jwplayer to display on the page. So I took the example from Jwplayer's quick start (see below) and it displays when the page is rendered.
However, I am getting the same error as before "Video not found or access denied /up-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2member-file-inline/StandingPoseVideo.mp4". I verified that the directories exist and the mp4 video is located in s2member-file-inline. Still feels like a permissions issue. Thoughts?

<script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script>

<div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>

<script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer("container").setup({ flashplayer: "/jwplayer/player.swf", file: "/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2member-file-inline/StandingPoseVideo.mp4", height: 270, width: 480 }); </script>


Also, the code works if I specify a file not in the s2member-files directory....see below:


<script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script>

<div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>

<script type="text/javascript"> jwplayer("container").setup({ flashplayer: "/jwplayer/player.swf", file: "/sandra/StandingPoseVideo.mp4", height: 270, width: 480 }); </script>
