I don't want to storage my audios and videos in image/stories-folder. I want to store it outside web-folder. But when changing local folder to ../../audio the AllVideo Plugin reads that as www.domainname.tld/../../audio/filename.mp3 instead of redirecting to http://home/myname/audio/filename.mp3

>:(

I've searched through the support forum, faqs etc with no luck. I see this question have been asked by others than me, but still remains UNanswered. I do hope someone will take the time and effort to answer, as I am sure the developers must have had in mind that most people would like to store their media files outside web map.

Thanks in advance!

You need to hack the code of the plugin, although not recommended. In your case, I would go and use the "remote" features of the plugin and simply add something like

{mp3remote}www.domainname.tld/audio/filename.mp3{mp3remote}

No, I think you misunderstood as one cannot do that, when the mp3-file is stored outside the web folder (level above domain.tld on my webserver). Doing what you suggest is no different than storing it in "remote" folder (images/stories/audio) inside domain area, and therefore does not solve anything.

I strongly suggest for the AllVideos Plugin developers to look at the coding for the local folders, so that one can write for example ../../audio in the local folder form.

Can't you just change the permissions on your folder so they are not writable?

i wish to do the same thing as Ranja, my site resides in a subfolder on top of the tld (www.mysite.com/site) but i wish to store the wma's (that wont play yet anyway) in separate sub on the tld (www.mysite.com/media). Ideally i'd like to store them behind the /www directory if possible
