I am trying to generate video playlists with views, swf tools, and flowplayer. The video module returns the original path instead of converted path, so my playlists play the non converted videos. Do you have any recommendations how to access the converted path in views as a field "Format"?

I am just bumping this issue as i need a way to pass the path to the converted video to swf tools through views. Currently in views i can only see the unconverted video path "Path to file" which returns the original uploaded video path.

Is this still a problem?

This is still problem. I can't pass converted path with views too.

Please try with the latest video module version (preferably the 4.6-beta1). Are you using S3 or Zencoder?

Closed because of lack of response.

I've got the same problem as well, but with 7-dev. If you dpm($page) you get the path and filename information for the original video but not the converted one. For the life of me I can't figure out where the information is for the converted file.

I've been using VideoJS and Video for Everybody (HTML5) to display the video. I found that if I bypass my custom page--customtype.tpl.php where I'm trying to access the converted video filename and path, then I can get the converted file through the template files, either /sites/all/modules/videojs/theme/videojs.tpl.php or /sites/all/modules/video/theme/video-play-html5.tpl.php, respectively. I assume these templates are called when render($page['content']) is used but are not when simply accessing the $page array by itself.

Does anyone know how to get the converted information into the $page array?

The Drupal 7 version of this module is fundamentally different than the Drupal 6 version, so please open a new issue for your problem in which you describe your problem and indicate which version you are using.

Oops, sorry about that -- I've created a new issue in the version 7 queue, though unfortunately I don't think anyone monitors that as I've posted several issues there with no developer response. We'll see about this one though!
