Video saved on FTP server ?

by gbell007 » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:56 pm

Hello ,

Me again with my FTP setup.

Everything is working great now, but unable to read my "video MP4" saved on my FTP server.
( tried with WindowsMedia , VLC, Quicktime... )

Format is strange ? any reason ?

Thanks !

Hi gbell007,

The Vitamin D Video files should open correctly with all of the programs you listed. Are you trying to open them remotely on the server, or are you downloading them first?

My FTP server is a simple HardDisk attach to my wireless network router.

Both way, Download to my computer and try to read , or directly from that HD ... impossible to read, ( Windows Media player, give me a message error that is not possible to read file )

AnyIdea ?

If you look at the raw video files in the archive directory where VDV normally saves video files do you also have problems playing those? If so something seems to be getting corrupted by your ftp server software, if not we'll know something is strange about the codecs your video player is trying to use to open the files.
