Any web expert who knows why my video won't stream?

[Huy Vu]

I've been posting my works on my website and streaming it as .wmv. Then a few days ago suddenly none of my posted video worked any more. I know nothing about website and my webmaster doesn't know how to solve the problem either so can anyone help me out?

There's four videos so far on there and they all stream fine as of last week. Not sure what changed this week. Thanks!

Your location of the Streaming Media is wrong, it should be a .wmv file, not a wvx
Use
http://www.youngsterproduction.com/lamsao.wmv
Not
http://www.youngsterproduction.com/lamsao.wvx

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

.wmx should work. It's a pointer to the .wmv file. And it does work...at least it works enough to get all the properties for the video.
No idea why it doesn't play.

Using the .wmx extension forces the media player to wait until it has buffered enough to play smoothly, rather than starting and stopping and starting and stopping.

Question, does your webmaster work for the company where your serever resides or is he renting the space for you and handling the uploads and creation part. The hosting company might charge extra for streaming and you need to know whether the server your footage is on is setup for streaming.

good luck

My webmaster is a friend who helps me out with web stuff (basically the design of the site and uploading the videos). The server is in my name. I've been able to stream these videos for the past six months or so. The strange thing is that some of the video I put up is streamable and others isn't (all .wmv). Then last week I asked him to put up my lastest vid; then a day later none of the videos work at all.

If that's the same behavior from browsers on different machines in different locations, then I'd be likely to point fault with the server.
