I'm a newbie here, but I've been trying to understand and research this for the past couple of days to no avail.

I created a custom post type (video) with a taxonomy associated with it (industries). The taxonomy "industries" has multiple categories (I'm not sure if in this case they are called terms rather than categories; correct me if I'm wrong!) such as IT, Construction, etc. For arguments sake, let's say under the category IT there is a single post named Web Developer.

First question: With the logic above, how would I manage to reach the single post (web developer) with the URL: .../video/IT/web developer?

Second question: If on the video page I would like to display all posts in all categories, what template page should I create? Is it archive-video.php? The same question goes for the category (IT in this case): Which template page should I create in order to display all posts under a specific category?

I'll answer your second question first:

Yes, the template you should use for displaying all the custom post types would be the CPT archive, so archive-video.php sounds right.

For the categories (the exact way to say it would be "taxonomy terms" indeed), you would use taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php or even taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php if you need to get more specific.

About your first question, there is currently no core functionality to use custom taxonomies in your permalinks, but this might help you.
