Alrighty, so I haven't posted here in a bit, and it feels nice to. Well I have run into a little problem while I was trying to remake my old website server. I was hosting some videos on it, using divx to play them right on my site. Well now they won't work, and say "Cannot download, check internet connection." I was wondering if anyone can help?
my website is
http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org
Thank ya in advance.

Took a look at your source and spotted what the problem probably is. The original source:
Code: Select all
<select name="movie" onChange="javascript:openNewMovie();" size="1">
<option value="" selected>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Eragon.divx">Eragon
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Iron Man.avi">Iron Man
</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Slumdog Millionaire.avi">Slumdog Millionair
</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Taken.avi">Taken
</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Twilight.avi">Twilight
</option>
</select>
The cleanup:
Code: Select all
<select name="movie" onChange="javascript:openNewMovie();" size="1">
<option value="" selected>Select video</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Eragon.divx">Eragon</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Iron Man.avi">Iron Man</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Slumdog Millionaire.avi">Slumdog Millionair</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Taken.avi">Taken</option>
<option value="http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Twilight.avi">Twilight</option>
</select>
If you look at the URLs -> [http://aphreakingsite.webhop.org\movies\vids\Iron Man.avi] you'll notice that you're using \ slashes and that's probably why you get that error.
Also, I tried to download "Iron Man" to check if the URL was working and from the look of it: 801MB... are you hosting full length pirated videos on your site? :P

Haha.
But yeah, as Pritam pointed out you need to close your tags and use forward slashes not backslashes.

I fixed it =p, all videos are up and working. Yup I am hosting movies, only me and some friends use my site, so I don't think I have to worry. Ima add some flash games, and music.
