stit, trust me, it's the dam space... Look at this code

Code: [Select]

<param value="http://xxxx.homeftp.net/Videos/Volleyball Drumbo Cup.avi" name="src"/>
<embed width="640" height="380" autoplay="true/" cup.avi="" drumbo="" src="http://xxxx.homeftp.net/Videos/Volleyball" type="video/divx"/>Line 1: "http://xxxx.homeftp.net/Videos/Volleyball Drumbo Cup.avi" contains spaces that was cut off by the URL encoding engine.  Thus this is why you get the wrong embedding code.  Let me explain below.

Line 2:
 (a) error 1 is autoplay="true/"  <-- "autoplay" only looks for "true" or "false"... NOT "true/"
 (b) error 2 cup.avi and drumbo was part of the filename but since the Line 1 of your example code contains spaces, the encoder or code generator treated drumbo and Cup.avi as a string parameter, hence your "src" is truncated at the first space.

Recap
Line 1: contains 2 errors. 1) the spaces in filename 2) another space in filename
Line 2: (1) "true/" is not the correct boolean  (2) "cup.avi" is not an embed reserved parameter  (3) "Drumbo" is not an embed reserved parameter  (4) DivX reserved "src" must be a valid DivX file.  "Volleyball" is not a divx file but "Volleyball Drumbo Cup.avi" is but yet, because you have the space there, it was truncated by the code generator thus leaving you with just "Volleyball" as a folder.  Another word, you didn't supply a supported DivX file.

TSG: No it's not the HFS or your script.  People who uses internet should know that URL should not contain spaces.  For example.  There's NO such URL written as:

Code: [Select]

http://www.my favorite mp3 collection.com/
Hence, you can't have a space in your file name or folders on any web server.  What this mean is that if you want to host "Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music.mp3", you can't.  If you were to host a download link to that mp3 file, you'll notice that IE will add "%20" if you click to download it.  But if you try to stream that MP3, you'll find out that it will not work.  If you can't have:

Code: [Select]

http://www.my favorite mp3 collection.com/
What make you think you can have files that have spaces in them?

Code: [Select]

http://www.my favorite mp3 collection.com/Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music.mp3
Does that look like a legitimate URL to anyone?
