Description
It appears that everything is correct on my site, but the video does not show up. Player.swf is in the files/ directory, as well as the video directory, and in fact, the player shows up and is a link to the DASH website, so the player is not the problem.
I do have downloads set to private, but I followed the instructions and uploaded Player.swf using the method described (created page, attached it, etc.).
The video and the jpg are created and exist in the expected location, and I am using [video] in the body. This is the html generated from the page:
The files all exist in the correct paths above, but no jpg, no video shows up. What am I missing? Any suggestions?

#1
I am having a similar problem. I use Flash Video together with the Upload Module. Uploading works but instead of the actual video I see an attachment (I can download both the thumb and the video) and this as plain text: [video]. What might be the problem?
#2
fixed. I misspelled the tag, thats why the player was not called.
#3
I think I just checked in a change that should fix this for the Dash Media Player. Please try the latest dev and see if that fixes your problem.
Thanks,
Travis.

I was also facing the similiar problem.
My directory structure was like this
files/videos [ouput directory]
files/video-orig [to keep original videos]
as said in the instructions I kept Player.swf in the output directory i.e files/videos. However that didnt work out so I checked the path via firebug toolbar in the firefox browser and it was searching for files/Player.swf
Then I moved the Player.swf to from files/videos to files directory and everything seems working now.

The path issue you mentioned was already fixed in the dev version previously. #463500: Usage description and coded flash player location missmatch
