Hello,

Check ObjectPlugin

Check also ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT in TWikiPreferences topic in TWiki web.

As recommended at the top of the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic, don't change the setting there, but copy the setting to Main.TWikiPreferences topic.

Hi,

I have tried with objectplugin with below snippet

%OBJECT{src="%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/Videos/Preview_Demo.swf" width="320" height="180" controller="FALSE" play="TRUE" useembed="TRUE" myparam1="3.1419" myparam2="edinburgh"}%

it is not shown in frame of the clip..the ObjectPlugin can either autoplay or else it displays a blank video screen.

There is no youtube type frame format displayed.. a white blank exists and the page is still continuously loading. The actual file size is around 8MB.

When i used .mp4 file format in the above syntax, the frame is displayed but it is fully in corrupted data format displayed in the frame.

am i used wrong way? Or do i need to manually install Quicktime on my machine first?

Thanks, Srinivas.
