Dumb question??

I have read all the posts here on inserting video within an app (not URL) but still can't figure it out... Pardon my ignorance=) My video file is 111mb and I want to insert it into my files section of my BT server... Do I need to upload the video first to my hosting website (go daddy)? I click upload button and then it says invalid request after a couple mins.... audio and images have been uploaded fine....

For a file that long, your best bet would be to use FileZilla or some other similar FTP program and transfer the file "behind the scenes" so to speak, to the server. I would then use the AT53 plugin to play it.

That is precisely what I did... I used the plugin, I used Firezilla... But wait, when you say "transfer the file behind scenes" what would you do?? I just uploaded it using Firezilla and then it came up on my godaddy server.... are you saying I should not upload to BT cpanel??? So I would need to change the code manually then in Xcode.... how would I do that? I am not a code pro but can make my way around

You can upload it anywhere you want, including the BT panel. It is only the URL of the video file that is relevant. I would suggest you buy the AT53 Video Player plugin as it is perfectly suited to the task at hand. With it you should be able to play the files, although it really is long. https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=3C06F75263AE92A0B802F44 You may want to consider breaking such a long video into several smaller files and then show them through menu options. You may also want to ask Serge how he breaks up long files into smaller ones: http://photoserge.com/apps/lightroom-basics-tutorial-for-ios-and-android/ He is a member here too, see https://www.buzztouch.com/photoserge
