I'm using the latest 2.x-dev version (2012-Apr-18).
The mediafront player will no longer play Flash (flv) videos. Instead it displays the error message: "Cannot play media: video/x-flv", and doesn't load a video player object.
The previous 2.x dev version played Flash videos OK.

This should now be fixed in the latest DEV version. Please try tomorrow and let me know if you have better luck.

Thanks,

Travis.

Just release alpha-4. Should be included in that release.

Updated to alpha-4 but still won't play flv videos. Exactly the same symptoms as in the original issue report. Tested in Safari, Firefox and Chrome - all exactly the same.
Sorry!

Think I found the issue. Should be fixed with Beta5. Please let me know otherwise.

For me it still doesn't work in chrome. Firefox and IE play the flv files without any problems,
but in chrome it just keeps loading, but never starts playing..
(movies linked from youtube for example work fine)

I may have reproduced this, but I would like for you to verify. Go into your MediaFront preset, and in the Other Settings, enable debugging. Then open up Developer Tools in Chrome (by clicking View | Developer | Developer Tools). Then click on the Console button in the Developer Tools and refresh the page that has the player that is having an issue. Then copy and paste what you are seeing in the console. Here is what I am seeing in mine...
