FLV Player

Try adding a slash before images in both playerpath= and file=. You need absolute paths in there, building off the root.

Thank you. I tried that, but nothing displays. I also tried entering the full path http://…

Seems to me like that file doesn’t even exist in that location perhaps?

http://www.sdspineinstitute.com/images/uploads/Title_pro_disc-L.swf

That would be where it’s trying to find it. Are you sure it’s actually located there?

Best wishes,

Actually ignore that I can see where your file is now and you will probably just need to do this sort of thing instead :

{exp:flvplugin playerpath="/cms/images/uploads/Title_pro_disc-L.swf" playernumber="1" file="images/uploads/Title_pro_disc-L.flv" width="351" height="284" showdigits="true"}

Best wishes,

Thanks, Mark. I tried that code, but it went back to giving the stream not found message. I’m going to upload a different video and see if that makes a difference.

You need to apply the same concept that Mark applied to the playerpath= to the file=.

{exp:flvplugin playerpath="/cms/images/uploads/Title_pro_disc-L.swf" playernumber="1" file="/cms/images/uploads/Title_pro_disc-L.flv" width="351" height="284" showdigits="true"}

Thank you. It seems there was an issue with the video that I was working with. I tried a different one and it works perfectly. Thanks for your help! 😊

Well the stream not found message is another issue 😉

I am guessing that the .swf has the stream path hard-coded into it maybe?

If so then check the path in the Flash file and make sure it is correct.

Saying that I just checked the page again and using the Activity Window in Safari it is saying that this file :

http://www.sdspineinstitute.com/cms/images/uploads/Title_pro disc-L.flv

is missing. Might be something else you need to sort out too perhaps? Seems you have a space in the name instead of the required underscore.

Best wishes,

More questions about this player. I used a different video, which is working now. My code:

{exp:flvplugin playerpath="/cms/images/uploads/Title_0101.swf" playernumber="1" file="/cms/images/uploads/Title_0101.flv" width="351" height="284" showdigits="true" autostart="false" repeat="false"}

1. The autostart is set to false, but the video starts up every time you open the page.
2. Why does the player have a “buy now” link on top of the video?

I think I answered the second question already - I need to buy a commercial license.
