Hello there,

Can't add direct URLs to video files like: http://www.example.com/some_video.mp4, simply returns Unsupported Video Provider. Any ideas?

Seems like a very major issue to me.

Hey Legendm33066,

VEF doesn't support direct linking, only Youtube and Vimeo. If you want to do embedding of direct links, you're going to want to use something else. You could do html embedding of MP4's like so: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/mpeg4/streaming/example.html and let the user handle it with something like Quicktime. Or just upload the videos to a video service provider, and embed them that way.
