In place of where the video should be I get this:
flv filetypes are not supported
I presumed this was from filefield, so checked the settings to make sure it accepted flv file extensions.
print flashvideo_get_video($node); doesn't seem to do anything at all either (using an unfiltered input format).

Any ideas?

Hello, i have exactly the same problem. In fact i'm having an absolute nightmare getting this module to work.

If anybody can provide any information into this problem it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, James.

I've given up on this and used jQuery media instead. I had to get my site up and this module was a show stopper for me.

I had this problem after I changed a universal setting for Flashvideo under admin/settings/flashvideo/universal

The problem was my WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor) automatically formatted the "Types" and "Flash Mime Types" fields on that page, even though I didn't edit those particular fields. Once a bunch of html markup was put in the Flash Mime Types field, I started getting this same exact error.

If you use any kind of WYSIWYG module, you need to exclude these two fields:
admin/settings/flashvideo/*.edit-flashvideo-video-filetypes
admin/settings/flashvideo/*.edit-flashvideo-mimetypes

This is what the 'Type' and 'Flash Mime Types' fields should look like (the default setting), shown below.

DEFAULT Type field

[avi, video/avi, 0]
[mpeg, video/quicktime, 0]
[mpg, video/quicktime, 0]
[mov, video/quicktime, 0]
[rm, application/vnd.rn-realmedia, 0]
[m4v, video/quicktime, 0]
[flv, flv-application/octet-stream, flash]
[playlist, 0, flash]
[wmv, video/x-ms-wmv, 0]
[3gp, video/3gpp, 0]
[mp4, video/mp4, flash]
[dir, application/x-director, 0]
[dcr, application/x-director, 0]
[ogg, application/ogg, 0]
[youtube, 0, youtube]
[googlevideo, 0, googlevideo]
[brightcove, 0, brightcove]
[vimeo, 0, vimeo]

DEFAULT Flash Mime Types

flv-application/octet-stream
application/octet-stream
application/x-flash-video
video/x-flv
video/mp4

This is what those fields look like after my CKEditor threw in HTML markup:
FORMATTED Type field:

[avi, video/avi, 0] [mpeg, video/quicktime, 0] [mpg, video/quicktime, 0] [mov, video/quicktime, 0] [rm, application/vnd.rn-realmedia, 0] [m4v, video/quicktime, 0] [flv, flv-application/octet-stream, flash] [playlist, 0, flash] [wmv, video/x-ms-wmv, 0] [3gp, video/3gpp, 0] [mp4, video/mp4, flash] [dir, application/x-director, 0] [dcr, application/x-director, 0] [ogg, application/ogg, 0] [youtube, 0, youtube] [googlevideo, 0, googlevideo] [brightcove, 0, brightcove] [vimeo, 0, vimeo]

FORMATTED Flash Mime Types field:

flv-application/octet-stream application/octet-stream application/x-flash-video video/x-flv video/mp4

Check those fields under the Flashvideo universal settings and make sure that they look like as they should by default and NOT formatted.

I have no idea if this was the root of the problem universally, but this fixed it for me.
