# 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&#
   8221;
    WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=200 AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false PLUGINSPAGE
   =”[http://www.apple.com/quicktime/”&gt](http://www.apple.com/quicktime/”&gt);
 * (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](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/”&gt](http://www.apple.com/quicktime/”&gt);
 * 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!
