Issue Summary
Hi folks,
I'm using Embedded Media Field/Embedded Video Field and am trying to figure out how to play a video that is stored on my server. I'm running Windows Server 8 with Drupal installed on it, the files are stored on the same server at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\files\videos. I've downloaded and installed the Video Flotsam module as well.
I'm able to link and play Youtube videos, so I know the modules are installed correctly. However, I'm not sure how what format to use when creating my link to the local videos. I tried putting in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\files\videos\test.mp4 and saved the page. It doesn't show the player, etc. Anybody know what I can do here to get this resolved or have a tutorial on how to format my links? Please let me know if I don't make sense or need more info.

I have a feeling that the media would need an internet address e.g. www.youdomain.com/files/videos/yourfile.mp4, if you put that in the field you may have more success.
That being said, I'm not sure that this is the best solution for videos that are hosted on your own server, the idea of this module is that you are embedding content from another server.
Something like http://drupal.org/project/video might be a better solution for your case.
