The players don't seem to render. According to the devel module they're there, and there is a definite gap in the content where the player should be, yet there is no visible player. I can even get some mouse over response as though there are control buttons. Clicking the "buttons" gets the browser to try to load something, but nothing loads. The file is in the files directory as called out in the embed settings/file locations.

here's the process i went through:
I installed swftools, got all of the other players and files, and enabled all modules. I am logged in as user 1, so there is no permission issue. No files or players are 'missing' according to the admin pages. I have used both the filter syntax options, and the php options (yes, I enabled the php input format, and I have enabled the swtools filter for my input formats). I have also set mp3's to auto render from the upload module and tried the attachment route.

Despite these options (mostly learned from the emspace site) I get no player.

I do have some opacity tricks on the site, but nothing should end up invisible. (80% opaque at most).

Thanks!

Me too.. can someone please help us with this issue?
maybe it has something to do with the generation of the playlist file?

ok, i don't know how i resolved this, but it works. Maybe resaving the settings did the trick.

When the admin_menu is enabled, it prevents flash videos from rendering - one hears the sound but sees a blank square on the screen. This is related to the opacity setting in the admin menu modules admin_menu.css file

#admin_menu li li { width: 160px; background: #202020; filter:Alpha(opacity=88); opacity: 0.88; }

Change it as follows and videos will render:

#admin_menu li li { width: 160px; background: #202020; filter:Alpha(opacity=100); opacity: 1.0; }

If you have played with opacity somewhere else, you are likely to have the same problem and the solution is most likely the same.

Hope this helps.

pban02,

Thanks so much for this!

However, just one small error in your code. The ID is "#admin-menu", not "#admin_menu". (You have an underscore instead of a dash.)

Note that the admin_menu.css file that I am working with is version 1.15.2.9 2008/02/24 19:02:55, and I see your post is one day later. Maybe the syntax has been changed? Anybody trying to use this override should look at sites/all/modules/admin_menu/admin_menu.css to verify syntax.
