Playing error in flv media player

Posted by rezvani63 on July 19, 2009 at 12:38pm

Hi friends,

I have installed flv media player in my site and after setting the configurations, it works well. I copy the absolute address of uploaded flv file into file location box and then I'm able to play it.
For avoiding this copying and pasting of file address, i used XSPF Playlist module. After configuring, it seems that it finds the attached file, when I click play button, I'm getting this error message on flv media player: "no suitable model found for playback of this file". I played around in XSPF and flv player settings to fix it, but couldn't.
Please help me how to solve this problem.
Regards

Same issue

Posted by you_know_who on July 30, 2009 at 4:21am

I have the exact same issue. However, when I am logged in the site with an administrator account, I can play the files. This xspf and flv modules are very buggy and don't seem to work right with this last release of drupal 5.
I am using xspf_playlist-5.x-1.20-beta3.tar.gz and flvmediaplayer-5.x-4.0-beta7.tar.gz.

Wrong - cannot do it with admin. Same error message.

I must have had the flash cached. After closing all browsers and logging back in, I have the same issue again - same error message.
I had it working several minutes ago, and then made some changes on a node related to "override settings" but the override checkbox did not stay checked after submitting on the node. Following this, I still cannot override any settings (they go back to the defaults) and I still see the same error message ""no suitable model found for playback of this file" whether authenticated, anonymous, or admin. Please help us fix this problem. Thank you!

Also, cannot delete profiles from flvplayer module

When I try to delete the profile for the flvplayer module and start over, it won't delete it. These 2 modules have been nothing but buggy since I ever started using Drupal. I delayed upgrading because it took such a long time to figure out how to get these two modules working, and then after upgrading, these are the only two modules that broke. I also get the following errors:

warning: Missing argument 1 for _xspf_playlist_filetype_supported(), called in sites/all/modules/xspf_playlist/xspf_playlist_node/xspf_playlist_node.module on line 329 and defined in sites/all/modules/xspf_playlist/xspf_playlist.module on line 255. I cannot get these two modules working at all, and have always had issues with bugs related to these 2.

The xspf playlist does show up when I view it (when I go to node/NID/xspf, I can see the xml for the node and the file attachments in the xml).

Were you able to get a fix for this problem??

Hi - i am facing the same problem with my install. Were any of you able to fix the issue? If yes, then please post the fix.

Fixed it

Posted by gargsuchi on August 18, 2009 at 9:50am

I was able to fix it by changing the xspf module a bit.

Have a look at xspf_playlist_node/xspf_playlist_node.module
line #381
'value' => $path_parts['extension'],
You might need to hard code this to say "video" or you may comment this whole block - starting from if ($path_parts = pathinfo($url) )

It fixed my error.

Try the dev version

Hi,

I was having the same problem and solved it by upgrading to the July 17 dev version of XSPF Playlist.

Hope it helps.

confirmed: problem fixed

confirmed: problem fixed using 6.x-1.x-dev version.
also: use ?q=node/XX/xspf in File Location field.

Unfortunately I have this

Unfortunately I have this problem now. Installed the latest versions of both modules and, well, this is the error I get now. JW FLV player works fine for files and the XSPF playlist is generated correctly as well. I'm lost here.

Still broken! This issue is still unresolved for Drupal 5.

I am very disappointed with this. I have Drupal 5.21 (latest) with latest xspf module installed (xspf_playlist-5.x-1.20-beta3). I still get that error message:

#########################################################################
warning: Missing argument 1 for _xspf_playlist_filetype_supported(), called in /srv/www/htdocs/sites/all/modules/xspf_playlist/xspf_playlist_node/xspf_playlist_node.module on line 329 and defined in /srv/www/htdocs/sites/all/modules/xspf_playlist/xspf_playlist.module on line 255.
#########################################################################

I have ran my update.php and the database was updated; I have also made certain that the configuration is correct and I have specified all of the extensions of media files in the xspf configuration under http://example.com/admin/settings/xspf_playlist

I tried to use the latest dev version, but this is only supported on Drupal 6. Upon decompressing the xspf_playlist-6.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz archive in the modules directory, it doesn't even show up in the http://www.example.com/admin/build/modules section at all.

I still cannot get playlists to work on nodes; furthermore, again, I am using the latest FLV media module and it also isn't working with xspf. Very buggy. Does anyone know if it's worth going to Drupal 6 for, and if it actually works in Drupal 6?

Does anyone have a workaround or a fix? I am going to try editing the module and commenting out that line which was recommended above by gargsuchi from post on August 18, 2009, but other than that idea, I am pretty stumped. Like I mentioned, the dev-6 isn't going to work at all on Drupal5.

By the way, the fix suggested by gargsuchi didn't work for this version of the module (thanks for the try at it, gargsuchi) - maybe the code has changed since his post. Neither the strings "'value' => $path_parts['extension']" nor the "if ($path_parts =" appear in the file "xspf_playlist_node/xspf_playlist_node.module" file.

Irked.
