I wish to start Vlogging from my phone.
What is the easiest way of doing this currently?
I don't wish to upload to Youtube, Vimeo or any other "video hosting" service as I wish to upload the actual videos to my website - I want more people to visit my website...

Can anyone tell me the best way of doing all of this FROM my phone?

Also I wish to be able to select the video on my phone and work from there as opposed to having to login to Joomla, go to EasyBlog, Create new blog, then upload video, then add text and publish...

Many thanks for your help. Kind regards, Kyle.
Hello Kyle,

Currently, there is only one way you can do. It is by log in to Easyblog, write a blog and upload a video using Easyblog Media Manager.

Hi Nick,
That's great thanks - cheers for a quick response.
I see if I use the Media Manager and upload a Video from my PC or Android Phone then it comes up on site as playing using the JWplayer.

SO is the video hosted on my Joomla Site or on JWplayer servers?

Also is there a way of having various versions of the video eg low res, medium res and high res?

I was just looking in documentation to see if there was more information about EasyBlog Media Manager, how it works, recommended usage, if it works on mobile devices, if it's free or paid etc.... (also possible alternatives to using JWplayer etc... ).

Cheers, Kyle.

Hello Kyle,

The video will be uploaded to your server but Easyblog will use the JWPlayer plugin to play the video. And I'm sorry but there is no version for resolution.

Hi Nick,

Ok that's grand thanks.

I've included a picture of a screenshot with Firefox on Android.

As you can tell it doesn't seem to be responsive...

Also when I click on play then it takes me to the JW Player website instead of playing the video...
BUT if I rotate the phone and press play then it works...

Do you know why this happens?
Do you know if there's a way of EasyBlog using a player other than JWplayer as default?

Kind regards, Kyle.

Hello Kyle,

Can you provide us your backend and FTP access so we can have a better look on your issue here? And we are sorry but for now, Easyblog can only use this JWPlayer.
