Using the flashembed method, and I am able to see the player just fine... but when I click play, the loader just sits there and spins like it can't connect to the flv. My paths are correct, and I've tried just about every combination I can think of to get this to work, including hard-coding the URLs and moving everything to the root (/test/)... all to no avail.
I'm using both Firefox and Safari on OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
flashembed("videoPlayer", {
src:'flowplayer/FlowPlayerDark.swf',
width:320,
height:180
},
{config: {
autoPlay: false,
videoFile: 'video/2008_loop.flv',
initialScale: 'scale',
useNativeFullScreen: true
}}
);
***url removed - problem solved***
I thought I was going crazy,
I thought I was going crazy, because everything should work... and I just figured out why.
The server this is on doesn't recognize FLV files. I put the FLV on a different box that does, and it shows right up.
If anyone else is having this problem... try typing the URL of the FLV file and see if it comes up. If it doesn't... chances are, the box doesn't support it.

that happened to me too
I had that happen this morning. I had to add a mime type to IIS for .flv files and it started working. Otherwise IIS just doesnt serve it up at all.
