Looks like a Great Player… and Works Great Too…
WITH the “Sample Video”… BUT… I am trying to set up a web page,
writing the HTML on my PC, and I am Linking to a file on my Hard Drive, and No Luck! - After Hours of fooling with this Code, I am Writing this, hoping someone can Help this “Newbie” to HTML… figure out Why I can’t get this thing to play an FLV file I have on my Hard Drive. - I have Downloaded the Player, and the Flvplayer.swf is in the same folder as the webpage.HTML… with your Code inserted (copied and pasted from above) - with “MY Video.flv” in place whee it should be. — The page opens, the background colors are correct… but it sits there and does Nothing… and the “Hover” function shows nothing either. — Please Help!

thanks

Theo, first of all, your player works beautifully - thank you!
I’m completely redesigning the website above. One thing I’m curious about / I need - is that the flv video I have plays through great and the last frame is a black frame and it stays there. I don’t want it to repeat because that is just annoying to me. Is there a way to set it so that when the video is done playing, a picture of my choosing appears? I think this is referred to as a poster frame, but it would be a post roll poster frame. I’m new to this but can totally understand tech instructions. I would not have asked if I didn’t already try looking for a few hours - so thank you again for your player and any advice you can give! -Thomas

Theo, I made the updates you suggested and now I can see the loading icon, but guess what…no video plays still. I was wonder, since macromedia is now adobe, is the codebase still valid? How do you get as classid and codebase info? I’m hoping your eyes are better than mine and see where my problem lies. I appreciate your feedback.

Hi BM’er,

I think I found your problem. Use proper quotes (”) for your attribute values in your HTML embed code. As a result of your alternative quotes (“,″) the browsers tries to download;
http://www.whiteheadboyd.com/%E2%80%9Chttp://www.platipus.nl/flvplayer/download/1.0/FLVPlayer.swf?video=media/Whitehead-Boyd_Testimonials.flv%E2%80%9D (which doesn’t exist.)

Good luck!

I have tried a lot of variations and I can not get this to work, even by copying your code. It is a large file 42 MB (the .swf file is half this size). Please visit http://www.whiteheadboyd.com/testvideo.html and view the source code. I welcome any suggestions.

The player works well, thanks.

I’m trying to use your player on a DVD-ROM to play FLVs. However the program to link it to play requires a runtime perameter. I have no idea what that is or how to obtain it.

Thanks,

Dennis

Shaun did you save your “crossdomain.xml” in the root of the server where your flv is?

Ah well, another “dead end”…

I also try generating the html source from your link - did not work.

I am having the same problem as Josh and Steve C - works locally but not on a web server. Crossdomain.xml does not work.
