Yes. It plays the default file.

See this:

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">   @import "/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/wikiFlvPlayer.css";</style><script src="/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script><div id="FlvPID-165641125" class="wikiFlvPlayer" style="float:none; width:300px;"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the latest Flash Player</a> to see this video.</div><script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/var so = new SWFObject("/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/player.swf","myflash","300","180","9", "#EEEEEE");so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");so.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");so.addParam("quality", "low");so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");so.addParam("salign", "t");so.addVariable("showdigits","total");so.addVariable("showfsbutton","true");so.addVariable("largecontrols","false");so.addVariable("showeq","false");so.addVariable("shuffle","false");so.addVariable("showicons","true");so.addVariable("showstop","true");so.addVariable("showvolume","true");so.addVariable("bufferlength","3");so.addVariable("overstretch","fit");so.addVariable("volume","100");so.addVariable("repeat","false");so.addVariable("autostart","false");so.addVariable("logo","/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/logo.png");so.addVariable("link","http://paulgu.com");so.addVariable("file","/wiki/images/5/59/Picasa.flv");so.addVariable("image","");so.addVariable("width","300");so.addVariable("height","180");so.addVariable("backcolor","0x000000");so.addVariable("frontcolor","0xCCCCCC");so.addVariable("lightcolor","0x557722");so.write("FlvPID-165641125");/*]]>*/</script>

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">   @import "/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/wikiFlvPlayer.css";</style><script src="/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script><div id="FlvPID-1940852546" class="wikiFlvPlayer" style="float:none; width:300px;"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the latest Flash Player</a> to see this video.</div><script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/var so = new SWFObject("/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/player.swf","myflash","300","180","9", "#EEEEEE");so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");so.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");so.addParam("quality", "low");so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");so.addParam("salign", "t");so.addVariable("showdigits","total");so.addVariable("showfsbutton","true");so.addVariable("largecontrols","false");so.addVariable("showeq","false");so.addVariable("shuffle","false");so.addVariable("showicons","true");so.addVariable("showstop","true");so.addVariable("showvolume","true");so.addVariable("bufferlength","3");so.addVariable("overstretch","fit");so.addVariable("volume","100");so.addVariable("repeat","false");so.addVariable("autostart","false");so.addVariable("logo","/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/logo.png");so.addVariable("link","http://paulgu.com");so.addVariable("file","/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/flvdemo.flv");so.addVariable("image","/wiki/extensions/wikiFlvPlayer/flvdemo.jpg");so.addVariable("width","300");so.addVariable("height","180");so.addVariable("backcolor","0x000000");so.addVariable("frontcolor","0xCCCCCC");so.addVariable("lightcolor","0x557722");so.write("FlvPID-1940852546");/*]]>*/</script>
The above is the HTML code that is being generated for the default file, and the uploaded file.

Can anything be done ?

The error message in the video is "file is not found", check your video file and make sure the file name is correct.

I tested it on my dev wiki, I found the player can play any other file but Picasa.flv, I'm wondering if the Picasa.flv is standard flv file.
