File Framework Prevents FlashVideo from Working Properly

I just tested it with the latest FF 6.x dev (2008-Dec-05) and it still does not work. The only way to permit FlashVideo videos to play is to make sure the "Attachment" module is unchecked and then create node (and attach/upload the module).

However, I have a suggestion that may be a better workaround for the issue. Implement this simple feature: http://drupal.org/node/344662

By allowing the option to enable or disable the attachments module on specific node content types, I can turn off the modules on my Video content type thus allowing FlashVideo to work.

The workaround I suggested by disabling File Framework attachments for the particular video content type does not resolve the issue. FlashVideo still does not work! The only workaround that works is disabling the Attachments module all together...

I resolved my issue - well, kinda - as everything works now on both the latest FV and FF versions.

Here's how I did it: http://spiffyd.com/blog/bug-fixed-file-framework-prevents-flashvideo-nod...

My condolences to ANYONE that has many video nodes created with FV beta 6 or earlier and would like to upgrade to 1.4 and are encountering issues like the one here.

For folks with FF installed, looks like you HAVE TO make sure Flowplayer is correctly installed to get things working flawlessly...
