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.
