The Control Panel On-Demand File Browser page shows each Video File with details; double click selection takes you to a player page with Embed code. New content takes about 30 minutes to get indexed. Note that you must rename files that you re-upload. Our caching system will not update files that you have re-upped, unless you rename them as well.
