*SOLVED* I got the player, but the video isn't working.

Fri, 04/18/2008 - 15:50 — tokixjam

I'm trying to embed Flowplayer on this website:

http://wwwshs1.bham.wednet.edu/Academics/Teched/Website%20Redesign/vg_an...

As you can see, I got the player on there, but the video doesn't seem to want to play.
I do have the path correct.

I'm sorry, but I am quite lost when it comes to code and I need things in LAYMAN's terms.

Am I supposed to put in the setup code exampled here?:
http://flowplayer.org/player/quick-start.html

Sorry if this question has been asked before, or if it's a stupid one, but I am at the end of my stick here, and the code is hurting my eyes and brain...

Thanks in advance for any help.

ALRIGHT, the problem was the server I was uploading to, not Flowplayer.
Thanks a lot api!

ALRIGHT, so it is the source

ALRIGHT, so it is the source of my flv file that is causing problems.

BUT! I don't know why it's "wrong". I am copying the URL directly from the source! For some odd reason, I am not getting the correct file path!!

Thanks orTubes. Well, I

Thanks orTubes.
Well, I don't know what it is, but it is just NOT reading the source of my file.
I don't know why.
I can't even open it in IE explorer from the hard drive.

The HTML code you have is broken

The HTML code you have on that page is broken - you may see how it looks viewing the source of your page.

The player is embedded as an object there - but the value of the last param tag - flashvars, that gives the player configuration - seems broken. The value should be a definition of a config object in json format - like:
param value="config={ autoPlay: false, loop: false, autoBuffering: false, splashimagefile: movie.jpg, baseUrl: .../movie.flv }" name="flashvars"
as you set the 'baseUrl' value as what the actual path is.

Hi, in first excuse my bad

Hi, in first excuse my bad english but i'm spanish and don't speak english so well.

I have the same problem than tokixjam. I'm able to load player but no the video.
I think the paths of video and player both are correct. The server folder have read permissions.

The page is

http://www.fardanet.org/flowplayer/html/example.html

Please, can anybody help me?

Thanks.

EDIT ::::::::

Ok, i have been able to solve it. The video must be in player path.

I don't know if I'm following your directions clearly.

Sorry, I should mention that I'm not all that good at code.

I changed the code, according to what I THINK your directions are.
But now the player's gone.

The page is currently missing

Seems I'm seeing your answer here too late as the html page where the player was before (http://wwwshs1.bham.wednet.edu/Academics/Teched/TEST/vg_animations2.htm) is currently missing..
What did you get to, tokixjam?

Oh, I'm sorry Totto, I

Oh, I'm sorry Totto, I changed the folder.

I edited the link in my first post to match.
So someone tried to help me and we got a bit further with the player, but as you can see, it's still not playing.

Is the flv file's path looked correctly?

Is the flv file's path looked correctly?
It's looked at as a relative path and it's relative path to the folder of the player itself.

So, the player's path is also relative - as:
src:'Flowplayer/flowplayer/FlowPlayerLight.swf'
that makes it's path being
http://wwwshs1.bham.wednet.edu/Academics/Teched/Website Redesign/Flowplayer/flowplayer/FlowPlayerLight.swf

and the flv is relative to it, as:
videoFile: 'Images - VG - Animations (2)/05 - movie.flv'
so it makes the flv's full path being:
http://wwwshs1.bham.wednet.edu/Academics/Teched/Website Redesign/Flowplayer/flowplayer/Images - VG - Animations (2)/05 - movie.flv

Is that the right path of the flv?

Well Totto, that's the

Well Totto, that's the problem.
That is what I assumed the correct path to be, but apparently it doesn't open when I type that into an address bar.

I don't know what the problem exactly is...
It might be the directory I'm uploading the flv on. Because every other file opens, except flvs.

I borrowed another site's FLV and the player worked, so it's not FlowPlayer now.
It's the path.

Thank you very much api!
I just contacted the server administrator, and hopefully they'll work on it!
