Indexhibit Support

Hi everyone,

I have 2 questions for wich I haven't found any answers neither on the forum nor on google, maybe someone can help with this

1. With quicktime files : I have seen indexhibit built pages where this works, but I'm not able to have the video start to play until it is completely loaded, wich sometimes takes up to 3mn, instead of just waiting a few moments and play the beggining of the video while the rest of it still loads. Is it something that has to be changed in indexhibit or is it the video that has to be compressed with specific codecs ? I've already tried diffrent compressions but it doesn't seem to change anything. Eg:

2. With Vimeo : I want to place the video in the middle of the page, and although I've been changing the "object position" from the vimeo embeded link it remains aligned on the upper left corner of the content area as you can see here
http://www.achromatique.com/index.php?/ongoing/showreel/

With the qt files that you upload on indexhibit it is posible to change the position of the video by changing width and height here(... codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab' width='400' height='300'>). I can't make this work with the vimeo embeded link

thanks

1. yes it has to do with the way you encode them: web streaming ready is different to a normal qt movie.
2. Try wrapping the whole object code in a div and position the div instead.

Give these links a go: 1, 2

thanks for the links,

with qt: first i tried encoding the video again using the h264 and .mp4, but indexhibit's files manager wouldn't upload it (well it did, but then it still didn't appear on te video list). So I uploaded the video with cyberduck directly on the server, and it worked... but, i still couldn't reposition it although I tried changing the position's width and height.
I also tried wrapping it in a div, but I'm no programmer so I wasn't able to make it this way... maybe made some mistakes in the code

Wich is why I installed the flv flash plugin, it works in a way, but I still need to change the position of the video.

Any ideas ?

I honestly cannot give further directions - it has to do with what you want to achive...

use css attributes to move things...

1. <div style='margin: 0 0 0 100px; padding: 10px;'><obect etc etc .... </object></div> 

More about css in the useful threads post - there's a red link there with lot's of info...

it works,
thx arson
