I followed all recommendations, but I cannot get any video playing withy this module.

1) I don't see any change in CKEditor with this module - the exactly same box shows when pressing the Flash button
2) I only see a white area where the video is supposed to appear
3) I get a "404 (Not found)" error for the file to be loaded. This file always ends with .flv even if it is .swf

Any help would be appreciated

Do you use the CKEditor module?
If so, I have just updated the instructions on the project page as the way to enable plugins with the CKEditor module has changed.

When using the CKEditor module
Navigate to admin/settings/ckeditor and edit the desired profile.
Under Editor appearance > Plugins, check the CKEditor SWF box.
Save changes.
Clear your browser's cache.

Does it work then?

OK, I was missing this one. (I never visited this CKeditor settings, thanks for pointing it out! I now enjoy autogrow!)

However, it does not help much.
The preview when inserting the object does not work at all for the flv, half for swf
Still no video playing, .swf still renamed .flv

Thank you for taking care

Can you send me a link to your site, using my contact form?
If you can, send also credentials to connect to your site as admin.
I will check your config then.

You video is not playing because inside your ampere.swf file, the path to ampere.flv is wrong:
Try to click http://web2.see.asso.fr/sites/see.shareontheweb.com/files/editorflash/am... and you will get a 404.
So the problem is your ampere.swf file itself!

Yes, but the path is right - only ckeditor swf insists renaming ampere.swf as ampere.flv.

the file in flash property is /sites/see.shareontheweb.com/files/editorflash/ampere.swf
however, once in view mode, this relative path becomes http://web2.see.asso.fr/sites/see.shareontheweb.com/files/editorflash/am... which is OK but the extension
If you rename the extension appropriatlely, it almost work - you get the file, but not playing the video however

The second flash using this file /sites/see.shareontheweb.com/files/editorflash/ampere-en.flv is completely skipped however.

The problem is not CKEditor SWF but your ampere.swf itself:
ampere.swf seems to be a player that tries to play a video called ampere.flv, right?
The problem is that the path to ampere.flv (inside your ampere.swf) is incorrect.
So what is the correct path to ampere.flv?

No, ampere.flv does not exist.
It is ampere.swf which is referenced in the Flash object,
/sites/see.shareontheweb.com/files/editorflash/ampere.swf
but which get renamed somewhere when in view mode
The path is correct but the extension (try to rename the extension, you'll see that the path is correct

There is a second video just below, with the file
/sites/see.shareontheweb.com/files/editorflash/ampere-en.flv
it does not show up at all
