flv plugin not finding .flv file to play
Development and Programming
I’ve placed the flvplugin player (.swf) on my page and it’s showing fine, but it’s not playing the .flv - though I’m pointing to it in my code.
{exp:flvplugin playerpath="http://www.biom.net/podcasts/" href="www.biom.net/podcasts/mid_spring_2008_WEB.flv" width="200" height="180" autostart="false"}Can you point out what I’m doing wrong?
P.S. What would be the EE url syntax to replace the absolute url I’m using with a relative one: I tried {site_url} podcasts/mid_spring_2008_WEB.flv but it doesn’t work
Thanks.

{exp:flvplugin playerpath="{site_url}podcasts/mediaplayer.swf" file="{site_url}podcasts/mid_spring_2008_WEB.flv" width="200" height="180" autostart="false" playernumber="1"}The file mediaplayer.swf referenced inthe above code is available at Jeroen’s site
There are full instructions available here
There is also a media player extension on the way…sshhh!

I’m still running FLV Player Plugin (v.1.0) and Flash Video Player 2.4 (will upgrade this weekend); in the meantime to get my existing set up to work do I need to change anything besides ‘mediaplayer.swf’ to ‘player.swf’?
Thanks.
I’m still running FLV Player Plugin (v.1.0)
k then the code you had should be working.Can you post or PM me a link to the page in question and I usually debug from there for you.
