I have some .mov files that I have uploaded and would like to set up to play on individual pages, but when I use the insert media button, it inserts the movies as a downloadable link.
How can I change this so that viewing the page the .mov files has been inserted on plays the file instead of just showing a link to download the file?
The only options that are available in the insert media window is listed under “attachment display settings” with the options of “link to:” “Media File” or “Attachment Page”.
Is there another way I should be uploading or inserting the videos?
You will have to goto ‘Settings> Video Quicktags’ and check off ‘QuickTime’. Then, when creating a post just click the QuickTime icon and insert the URL of the .mov file in the popup window 🙂
This is a real issue for me. WordPress has a native embedded media player that I assume supports .mov files but I am not given the option (as SKnight225 says above). When I try to embed a .m4v the option is there. Can anyone shed any light on this? I really don’t want to install another plugin I possible.
