I managed to play videos with FLV player:

at the apache logs I saw this:

GET /llocs/ceru/sites/all/modules/fileframework/vendor/flowplayer/example/flowplayer-3.2.8.min.js?_=1334231707346 HTTP/1.1" 404 10251 "http://www.exemple.com/content/video

I realised that the player wasn't at the mentioned path ".../vendor/flowplayer/example/flowplayer-3.2.8.min.js", was in here: ".../vendor/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.8.min.js" so I just moved to the "example" directory and worked.

But I still got this:

Format MIME Type Size State
Flash FLV file video/x-flv 208.21 KB OK
JPG image image/jpeg 9.99 KB OK
JPG image - Mid size image/jpeg 16.45 KB OK
JPG image - Thumbnail image/jpeg 4.23 KB OK
MPEG-audio Layer 3 file audio/mpeg - Failed

at the player of the original file type:

your browser is unable to display this multimedia content.
Problems viewing the video? Download the latest Quicktime Player

Your browser is unable to display this multimedia content.
Problems viewing the video? Download the latest Windows Media Player

I have checked converters, and they are all activated, just in case, I reinstalled ffmpg, but nothing.

what should I look for?

Now that I have FLV player working, I would like to know how to embed the files (videos mainly) at different sites, I mean being my site the provider, the same that you can do with youtube videos for instance, if it's possible.

Thanks again

If it helps, I've checked in some browsers and different OS.

Firefox in Ubuntu 11.10
FLV works
WMV don't work
MPEG don't work

Doing this I have learned that if you drop a video file into the web browser the plugin plays it at the browser, I have chek it in Firefox Ubuntu 11.10, and wvm, flv and mpg are played.

Chromium in Ubuntu 11.10
FLV don't work
WMV don't work
MPEG don't work

Firefox in ubuntu 10.04
FLV d'ont work
WMV don't work
MPEG works

Internet Explorer 8 in Windows XP
FLV don't work (black square) even with the flash player installed and working
MPEG (Quick Time) Working.
WMV only the sound is heared, no image,

Firefox in Windows XP
FLV don't work (blank square) even with the flash player installed and working
MPEG (Quick Time) Working.
WMV only the sound is heared, no image,

Google Chrome in Windows XP
FLV don't work (black square) even with the flash player installed and working
MPEG (Quick Time) Working.
WMV it shows a message that says that does not recognize the file extension (.) (yes, only the dot), and it does not play it, nor even the sound.

I hope this gives a little light about this issue.

Thanks again

Ok, I have discovered that the flash player is sometimes called to the flowplayer/example/ directory and some others to the flowplayer/ one, I don't know why, but I just did this at flowplayer/ directory to solve it:
sudo ln -s example/* .
I mean, I have created a link to all the files inside the exemple/ directory to the flowplayer/ one.

Now I have to investigate why the quick time player and the windows media player sometimes work and some others don't.

Ok, about the other players, drupal says this:

Type page not found

Localitzation http://example.com/undefined/11/1
Reference http://example.com/file_browser
Message undefined/11/1

Well, the system is going to the directory "undefined", that does not exist, to open the file;

why, and how to solve it.......?

I could solve this: MPEG-audio Layer 3 file audio/mpeg - Failed
this way:
edit /etc/apt/sources.list
add this line: "deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main"
apt-get update (this gives an error, never mind, it is corrected after the next step)
apt-get install debian-multimedia-keyring
apt-get update (no error now)
aptitude install libavcodec52
and reinstall ffmpg
apt-get install ffmpg

the strange thing is that reconvertion does not work, but if I upload a new file I got:
MPEG-audio Layer 3 File audio/mpeg 44.11 KB OK
