Two issues: - you are donwloading from private not uploads folder. Thenically this is ok but not a web2py convention. You should not expose the content for the private folder. That is why it is called private. ;-)
- you used embed to embed a file, but it should be used to embed a plugin. I have used a flash plugin for this purpose. Here is an app to manage music files that you can use as example: http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2py.app.music.w2p Massimo On Jun 22, 10:50 pm, weheh <[email protected]> wrote: > Continuing this old > thread:http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/59b66b3a24... > > I'm having trouble getting an embedded mp3 from showing up in my web > page.
