Hi All.
Flash video is not working when Download method is set to Private.
Flash player doesn’t show up and watchdog is showing up following errors.

Everything work fine as soon as I set the Download method to Public.

a patch to allow players to reside into a directory named "players" under flashvideo module's directory
instead of the site's "files" directory

remember to create a directory named "players" inside the flashvideo module's directory and drop the players in it (e.g. sites/all/modules/flashvideo/players/Player.swf)

@#2 I have no idea
I'm not a maintainer of this module,
I just found you asking for help in a forum and made this patch for your problem

It didn’t work.
Only dash player logo is showing up.
I’m using dash player module version = "6.x-1.7".
See the attached screenshot.

did you copied the player, skin and theme to a "players" directory inside flashvideo module?
I tested with flowplayer.swf and it was also broken until I added the flowplayer.controls.swf which it requires to work properly
similarly dashplayer requires (as long as I recall) skin, theme, and XML config to work properly
have you follow all dashplayer's readme.txt instructions?
