With external movies, wikiflv works with FF but not with IE

Post by jck1307 »

Hi,
thanks for your extension, it works great with internal movies but when I want to load external movies (stored on sf.net),
I use it successfully with FF and Safari but it doesn't work with IE or Chrome.

Take a loot at the following url to see the problem:
* http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php ... view:Video

The video comes from sf.net

Thanks for your help,

JC

Yep... look IE cannot load external file, can you download the file and put it on your server and see if it works...

Hi,
as you guessed, the problem comes from loading external videos with IE or Chrome. If I put a video on my website, everything is fine.

Have a look at http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php/Test:Test

Any idea about a workaround? a configuration parameter in IE and Chrome?

Thanks,

JC

I'm not sure if it's due to the IE security to take the external file, or it needs to be implemented in different way for external file for IE, it rather put files on local site for now...
