Insert/edit Video in XC5 Product Pages
I am trying to insert a video on the product pages of XC5 using the WYSIWYG editor menu item Insert Video. I can't get the TinyMCE Filemanager to see my MP4 files. It works fine for jpg images (Insert Image on menu). Is there a problem with my file format? Once the file is recognized, it is ready to go? Of do I need to embed code for a player?
When working, will be video be streamed or put into memory? Wondering about load time issues.

Unfortunatey, X-Cart does not support loading video files. There are three other ways how you can accomplish what you need: 1) Upload your videos to youtube/vimeo and put the sharing code from these services to your product description 2) Put your videos to your server via FTP and then put links to them via <video> tag: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp Only modern browsers support this approach though 3) Write a module which will do the job of uploading and handling product videos as you need (the most expensive option)

@Pfidy
I am almost ready to release a module for this - link and show videos on products pages for XC5. You will be able to link unlimited videos uploaded to Youtube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Metacafe or self-hosted on per product basis. I am polishing the details the hopefully the module will be out in a few days.

Re: Insert/edit Video in XC5 Product Pages
I am sure you know, but there is already a 3rd party module that does that http://www.x-cart.com/extensions/addons/product-video.html
On the other hand, it does not mean you should not release your own, Steve.

Yes but this one is one Youtube video. What I have is after my original module for XC4 - http://www.cflsystems.com/site-content-videos-for-x-cart.html - not only different services but a choice to show the videos directly on the page or in a popup.
