IndianaGuy Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Thank you all for giving your time to help the new guy :-). I am looking for an easy way to display and play 1 video file. The file name will based on a variable taken from the link example // the link is www.mysite.com/exposure/index.php?story=Tony $Exposure=$_GET[story]; I need the page to have a video box where the user can hit play and it will play the video named "Tony" from my "videos" folder. Can this be done easily? Two quick side questions; 1) Can the "videos" folder be set to private where no one can go to www.mysite.com/videos and see ALL the videos at once? 2) Will my page be mobile friendly? Thank you Edited December 4, 2016 by IndianaGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_jack Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 let me answer your questions first : 1) Can the "videos" folder be set to private where no one can go to www.mysite.com/videos and see ALL the videos at once? if you have access to your Apache Configuration file you can prevent directory listing and you can also use .htaccess file to prevent that . 2) Will my page be mobile friendly? it depends on your CSS , is your template mobile friendly ? as for the easy way to share your video on your website try to upload the video on youtube and display it on the page , Good luck .
