Use any of the available bots (mosflv, youtube, etc) to embed the video inside an elxis content item.

Example for youtube: {youtube}video_id_here{/youtube}

You can have as input an absolute or relative path to an FLV video file or even a URL. You may also set the video size.

Examples:

Code: [Select]

{mosflv}/images/videos/myvideo.flv{/mosflv}
{mosflv}http://www.mysite.com/media/myvideo.flv{/mosflv}
{mosflv width=320&height=280}myvideo.flv{/mosflv}
Note: As relative path is considered the relative path from Elxis root folder.
