Self hosted video requires plugin was created by jeyjoo
Hi, I am hosting self-hosting video tutorials here - the video is near bottom of the page. As you can see, it requires a plugin to view the video. Is there a way around this? Obviously it is not practical to have every new user download a plugin before using my website.
Many Thanks

This looks like a Windows Media video exported in .avi as the file container. You should prefer more web friendly media types like FLV or better still MP4 (h.264 encoded). The latter are the best because they can be viewed on mobile/tablet devices as well.

BTW, you should enable reCaptcha in your comments for K2 (see the component params) to avoid spam ;)
