Storing local video (wmv) above the root was created by Neil Fabbo
I am developing a subscrition to media site for one of my clients. And was hoping there is a way to store all the media above the web root for security?

Not sure how to implement this needed feature? This site uses only local WMV (ver.9) Files.

Cheers,
Neil

You can just go to the plugin's parameters and set the folder path you would like to store your videos. It doesn't necessarily have to be inside the images/stories, but we recommend it so you won't have any permission problems. If you indeed change the path to your root folder, check it to have the appropriate permissions for the videos to play.

Thanks for the help what path should I use to get above the web root? site it stored like this /home1/bodystro/locker  not the syntax of a path abouve the root?

Cheer,
Neil

I'm afraid I misunderstood your request. I didn't quite catch the above the web root. I don't think that you can set a folder above the site's web root, only on site's root. You could try though.
I'm sorry.

Did you figure this out?
I've been having trouble with an swf video player I created that uses xml to read the video. But I can't get it to work in joomla.
I wanted to try this allvideos plugin but don't want the same problem.
Is there a way of uploading the video to my media manager file if the videos are over 10m?
