Sorry I missed this post!
Hmm.
It depends on the media.
Our site doesn't display a lot of media by default... we have a piece of 3rd party software that decodes and displays the media... But pasting in the correct root address can be a challenge. For example, grabbing video from ESPN... I can't hardly figure out what to paste in. Usually, I don't even try.
Long way of saying...
I consider myself quite savvy with this stuff, and even I can't get the root address right for some media. But, that is the the key.
Can you share with me what media you are trying to paste in?
