Hi
Created a Video content type using CCK and file field
Everything works as expected
Video uploads and converts, thumbnail generated and displayed

Now I created a second Video content Type called Video2 with its OWN CCK fields

The video it is uploaded and converted,thumbnail created
BUT I cannot get it display anything
All settings the same as Video except name of the CCK, and of course ea FlashVideo setting for Video and Video2 are set to point to their respective CCK for upload, finished and thumbnail.
Is this possible?
thx

Yes, this should be fine. Are you sure that you're using the [video] tag or, alternatively, the theming technique as described in the "help" section of the module? You have to use one of these two options in order to get your videos to display.

hi
That's exactly what I'm NOT using
No [video] tag or theming
I w'd like to have Viode2 behave like Video where I used only the CCK and filefiled
with [video] tag disabled and is working just fine
Looks to me that flashvideo doesn't like more then 1 content type using CCK FileField

SO using the video tag is the only way to do that?
- Having 2 custom content types: n Video and Vidoe2 with flashVideo enabled?
- One with CCK support and one with video tag?

I think what you're looking for you'll find in the Help section of the module. Please read through the following section on your site: admin/help/flashvideo#displaying2

Why was this;"video" tag by design in the 1st place ?
What's wrong with just upload a video and play it?

I believe it's for placement purposes. It gives people the ability to decide upon placement for themselves. Say you want to embed the video between two paragraphs in the body of your page. Without the ability to decide upon the placement yourself, you probably wouldn't be able to do this.

I see
Makes total sense in that respect
So far didn't feel the need for it but I can see the 'video placement ' flexibility for some posts
cool
thx
