Video player displays but doesn't play file -

Hi,

I added the flv player extension to our wiki . The player is displayed and looks great , but it won't play the flv file(s) I upload.


Here is a link to our sandbox where I have the player displayed as well as a link to an flv file.

http://www.wikiaudio.org/index.php?title=Sandbox

The player says " Video not found: images/9/96/Video.flv"

but when I go to that directory on the server the file is there.


Please help!

Thanx

I followed the instructions to the tee.

I uploaded the file to the extensions directory and unzipped it.

Then I added the code to the localsettings.php file.

Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?

Open the php file, try to change the variable below to a string and see what will happen.

Code: Select all

$playerID = mt_rand();
