After installing and configuring everything (except the Cron Task, which will be configured later), I cannot get the Video Update option to appear on the create content "page", although it is designated in FlashView settings. Can any one give help?

We are in the process of putting a new website together and the FlashVideo tutorial promises the module will fulfill all our requirements for posting videos.

We used apt-get to install ffmpeg and it's file path corresponds to that given in FlashView settings. The flash player was also downloaded and seems to be installed and referred to properly by the module. And of course, "page" and also one custom node are enabled under settings.

Might we have overlooked something?!

Title: Video Upload option not visible » Video Upload option not visible on Firefox, but with Safari!

So after a friend double-checked, we found that the issue lies with the browser, because his windows firefox functioned, but not my macOSX firefox. When I opened the create content for a page in SAFARI, miraculously, the Video Upload option appears! Does anyone know if there could be clashes of Drupal modes with browser settings? We'll try to find out over the next week or so...

That does sound like Drupal is doing something screwy... Usually browser types are transparent within the Drupal system, so if you are having a browser incompatibility, this most likely falls on the shoulders of Drupal. Thanks for looking into this. Please let me know if you figure anything out.

Thanks,

Travis.

I'm having a similar experience. I enabled flashvideo for page, blog, image even the standard video module and don't see the upload controls on any of those node types. Do I need to configure something else?

Thanks!

Try this everyone!

You might try this. In order for the Video Upload to show up in your node type, the flashvideo settings in the System table must have a weight of 10. I tried to do this automatically in the module, but I have my suspicions that the weight isn't getting set properly. To check the flashvideo module weight, open up phpMyAdmin showing your Drupal Database, click on the System table, and now search for name=flashvideo tag and then set the weight to 10. Let me know if this is already done. I am trying my best to gather information on what might be causing this problem so that I can fix it once and for all.

Thanks,

Travis.

Not sure if this helps, but I was having the same issue after updating the flashvideo module on one of my sites.

To get it to work in Firefox I cleared the cache. Works a treat now.

Thanks!
