    Hello, I have a Blog being hosted at Hostgator and It has video content. The problem is that when you visit the page the videos ALL start to preload at the same time. This is completely unacceptable for what I am needing…I have seen various other WordPress sites and they have videos that are not preloading…I have looked at the settings for 2 days and feel comfortable that I am not missing anything. I need help.
    Anyone able to help me with this? Please?

    I just uploaded a 70mb video…go check the main page out and see for yourself

    I found this answer in my searches…Is there anything I can do like this? He said to “Don’t include the code in your page. Inject it into the page once the user clicks a fake PLAY button.”

    Seems dumb to have to do all that for every post tho..

    Alright, I fixed the problem but think that something is without a doubt flawed in wordpress when it comes to videos…Nothing wrong with that but seeing how that is apparently the case it should have a message box or something when you try to add more than one or two videos to any single page that would tell the people that this WILL cause a much greater strain on the server and the internet connection it uses, resulting in very long load times, as a result of multiple videos loading within the same page…Would have saved my whole day today.. ??

    Anyways, I searched for a plugin (Don’t like to use too many because of load times but was pretty much left with no choice.) I found the JW Player plugin that loads in a different way and thus discontinues this probblem.
    Thank you guys for checking into it and I hope that someday I’ll not need the plugin and just simply be able to post a blog of videos on my wordpress site. Thank you
