This is suspicious... Other people have gotten this module to work, so I am thinking that you are just not doing something you should be. First of all, is the player that you have named "player.swf" or is it named "Player.swf". If it is named "player.swf", then try capitolizing the "P" and then see if that fixes your problem. Also, you need to make sure that you have this flash player in the same directory as the output directory defined in the FlashVideo settings page. If it still doesn't work, then you might not have ffmpeg configured properly on your server.... Please give me some more information so that I can figure out if this is really a problem with the module or just user error.

Thanks,

Travis.

i'm having the same problems, although i'm not sure if my ffmpeg installation is properly configured. do you know of any way of running a separate test of ffmpeg independent of the module?

Hi

You say in a preview topic that its not needed to have FFMPEG php installed to get the module to work, i try with player,swf and Player.swf and it doesn't work, the output directory is files and i copy past the player to that directory, i am using multisite feature with drupal 5.1 all my modules are located at sites/all/modules

Thanks

The same here! :(

I use QuickTime and Flash plugin to make flv files, i don't need ffmpeg, so I disabled it ("Maximum Failures:" in configuration is set to "0").

My servers' php info
I'm using:
Drupal 5.1
Downloaded modules: FlashPlayer

I uploaded video.flv from original "flash_flv_player" archive.
All paths and files are ok.

What other info could help to find the problem?

P.S. Great module, keep going ;)

just a heads up about a FFMPG setting that got FlashVideo work for me after a long afternoon ;)

have a look at http://www.travistidwell.com/node/11#comment-433

and try changing your ffmpg Command to:

-i @input -f flv -ar 22050 -ab 64k -ac 1 @output

hope it helps
