I need to get this module working asap for a deadline and I can't seem to get it work no matter what I try. I'm on windows so I know that could potentially be the problem. I've verified that my FFMPEG works perfectly by taking the command line verbatim from the Flash Settings page and using it to convert a file directly from the windows command line in the FFMPEG folder. Works fine.

I've spent several hours troubleshooting this already and I'm pretty sure I have it narrowed down to:

1) the path settings in "Flash Settings", but I've tried all manner of path settings with and without /'s and none of those work

and

2) the fact that I use the Filemanager and Attachment modules for most of my uploads, even though I have those disabled and the standard upload module enabled for this custom content type.

My preferred way to use it would be to add a CCK FileField field to the content type for uploading the videos. I tried that, and it doesn't work either.

My question is this-- does this work with the CCK Filefield? If not, I would be happy to get it working and post back a patch if you would point me in the right direction as to where/what in the module I need to address.

Any help or assistance would be GREATLY appreciated, and I will, of course, post back anything that comes of this. There really needs to be a more robust upload module in core (which is why I had to go the filemanager/attachment module route in the first place) but I think CCKing things is definitely the right way to go.

I agree with you that CCK is the right way to go. It is a fantastic module. Unfortunately, FlashVideo does not work for Filefield plugin. I have not even looked at the API for this plugin, otherwise I would be better at directing you in the right direction. I am afraid it will take some digging in how the filefield works and then using those hooks in the FlashVideo module to do what you want it to do.

I might have some time late February to look into this, but since I am a little slammed lately, it will just have to wait.

Thanks,

Travis.

No problem--- thanks for the reply Travis. I'm no coder, but if I get a chance to look at the api and figure out what needs to be done or where it needs to be done I'll post back.
