5,607 PointsNo. I want to play videos at different topic name. Like youtube. Every topic has some video, which should play on click of topic name. Like I have Table of contents Topic 1 Topic 2 Topic 3 and so on.....
Every topic has one video like video 1 for topic 1 video 2 for topic 2 video 3 for topic 3 and so on..... On click of every topic, it's respective video should play. Topic name and video url are stored in database table. And also videos are stored in server in some folder.

4,026 PointsHow you want display this video on page ? in some player ? It is one the same page only one with link on left side with topics. After click this link your app take link to video for example if you have all movies on server in dir (movies) and link to this movies is /www/app/movies/... so from DataBase you need keep only names of movies without rest of links. and after someone click topics system get name of movies (mymovie_1.flv) and send all path /www/app/movies/mymovie_1.flv to your player. but all video is display in the same page with player

5,607 PointsYes. I want to display them in a player, so that I video plays at a time for a particular topic which is clicked. But I want an HTML 5 player, so that videos can run in any device.
