Hi Jose – Yes, take a look at the documentation that I reference above. Your videos will be protected automatically by S2Member and you do not need Amazon S3. You simply need to put them in the folder that S2member automatically protects.

cheers!

Janet –

Thanks for asking. This is my site:

http://ericksoniancongress.com/

People pay a one time fee (Now $395, but it started out at $195) for access to the presentations. The business model works very well because some of my presenters are very well known and they have large email lists. They promote the conference, get a large % of the registration fee and there is still enough left for me and my business partner. Also, I use Aweber and S2member to collect emails and thus am building a large list of my own.

This is the 4th or 5th conference that I have done with S2member. One only made about a $100) total and some of the others did better. But little by little I am figuring it out.

cheers! And good luck.

Hi Janet – Not a problem, though sorry you are not up and running just yet. I believe S2member created your crossdomain automatically as you mentioned. I did find an old post by Jason (the developer) which talks about what to put in your crossdomain file.

I believe you can simply copy and past what he wrote (see the post) into a text file. Save the text file as crossdomain.xml and then upload it:

Hi Janet – Keep the crossdomain file in there I think S2Member needs it.

The linking style that I mentioned is something like this:

<a href="[s2File download="FILENAME.mp3" /]" target="_blank">Download Presentation.</a>

Although for you, the file extension might not be .mp3. If you can do the above and it works (i.e downloads or opens in another browser window) it will be an indication that your S2member is configured correctly. If not, then the problem might not be with JWPlayer but with your S2member configuration.

Try it and see what happens?

Sorry for not replying sooner. The forum is not sending me notifications of replies.

I think you need to skip using the plugin. It is not compatible with S2Member.

The link that you have above is not a valid link. It is actually two links:

http://www.depressionmeditation.net/wp-content/uploads/

https:/s3.amazonaws.com/thedepressionmeditationsystem/mm1wakeey.mp3

The second is the link that you want. When clicking that, I get the error message:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Which is an error message that I used to get as well. It seems to me that to fix that, I had to add a file to my Amazon S3 bucket called crossdomain.xml.

But for the life of me, I cannot remember how I did that. I think instructions are in one of Joshe’s videos. I will post the link in just a moment.

You are almost there!

hmm. Sometimes I wonder if S2member is going to get so complicated that the average person will no longer be able to learn how to use it effectively. Is there a price for adding so many new features?

I don’t quite understand this. S2member restricts the number of connections? I thought only a hosting company wold do that in order to conserve bandwidth and server resources???

I have a site on Bluehost with 280 members and another 250 or so on the way. I am paranoid that when the site officially launches (it is a conference) having too many connections and downloads with throttle my site.
