Problems with streaming video
-
So my web hosting company has a streaming video server (lucky me!). Unfortunately WordPress does not seem to like it. The HTML code that my webhost tells me to use to set up a streaming video is:
<EMBED SRC=”sample.mov” QTSRC=”rtsp://media.ezomz.com:554/ezomz001/sample.mov”
WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=200 AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false PLUGINSPAGE=”http://www.apple.com/quicktime/”>(with sample.mov replaced by url of my movie on the streaming server of course)
However, when I try to paste this code into WordPress (and yes, I am doing it in HTML mode, not WYSIWYG mode), WordPress turns it into this after I save the page:
<object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ width=”100″ height=”100″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0″><param name=”src” value=”sample.mov” /><embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”100″ height=”100″ src=”sample.mov”></embed></object> WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=200 AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false PLUGINSPAGE=”http://www.apple.com/quicktime/”>
Now, I’m no expert on embedded video code, but it looks like WordPress is trying to change this from a Quicktime movie into a Flash movie. But I don’t want flash…my streaming video server only supports Quicktime and RealMedia. Is there some way I can prevent this from happening?

So I guess no one has any ideas huh? Surely someone has run into a similar problem? Seriously people, I could use any assistance you can give me as I’m pretty much at a loss for how to fix this. Thanks for your help!
I guess I have you guys stumped, huh? I’m contacting my webhost for further assistance but if anyone here has some idea, anything really, please let me know as I need to resolve this issue ASAP!
