Choosing a Valid Project or Collection
When choosing a video or collection in the Web Player Configuration Panel make sure that a web deployment of that project or the projects in a collection exist. The drop-down box that allows you to choose a particular video or collection, lists all projects in the CMS, regardlessly of wether, they have a web deployment or not. If you choose a project that does not have a web deployment the video in the embedded web player will not play as it can’t find any valid video paths.
