Hello,

I am trying to get a flv video to appear in my blog posts.

I have tried several methods, and I have been unable to get any of them to work.

I am willing to pay for any help you can provide.

I believe the emfield.module is used for 3rd party embedding. You are working with trying to embed a file that is on your own site. I use emfield to pull video from youtube.com, though there are other sites that emfield supports.

viewing your source code shows an incomplete building of the necessary code to pull the video in and allow it to play.

<embed menu="true" loop="true" play="true" src="http://goodbaseball.com/sites/default/files/great_atbat.flv" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

for what you are trying to do you may want to investigate the swftools.module and use an swf rather than an flv or continue to use emfield and upload your flv to a 3rd party site that emfield supports.

Thanks for replying...

I am basically trying to play flv files that are on my host server. I am trying to avoid 3rd party video solutions if possible.

So, I will uninstall the flashvideo module, embed media module...and try to use swftools?

Please advise...

if you are already using flashvideo.module that should be enough to do what you want.
I'd suggest starting a forum thread or moving this thread (by adjusting the dropdowns) to flashvideo.module's issue queue if you've a problem with that module.

Flashvideo.module and emfield.module don't really have anything to do with each other.

Realistically, you don't really need a module to do what you want. Modules certainly make much of it easier. You can simply use properly formed HTML code with the php input format (FULL HTML may not work)
