Hosting html5media

The instructions for using html5media involve linking to a file that is hosted on the html5media Content Delivery Network (CDN). This generally gives the best experience for your users, as it means they get to download the files from a location that's close to them.

There are a number of alternative ways for you to link to html5media, detailed below.

Serving html5media over a secure connection

If your page is being served over HTTPS, then linking to html5media will cause security warnings in some browser. Don't worry, there's an alternative secure link for html5media that you can use instead!

Hosting your own copy of html5media

If you'd rather host everything yourself, then no worries. It makes our life easier too, and places less work on our servers. You can download a pre-built copy of html5media from the project downloads area.

If you're feeling adventurous, then you can also check out a copy of the html5media GitHub repository and build your own version. Instructions for building html5media are included in the repository in a file called BUILDING.markdown.
