Hi all,
I've a problem that I can't solve for a few days: display JW player (or Dash media player) on my node page
Here is the situation working on D6:
- Flashvideo module installed and set-up
- It seems that the video conversion is working fine with ffmpeg >> I've a flv file and thumbnail created in my drupal/default/files directory After submitting my page node and run cron
- My [video] tag is placed on my body (input format: Full HTML also tried with filtered).
- Tried to place a Player.swf (JW player or Dash media player) under /drupal/default/files. N.B: JW player download seems to have changed and it's not corresponding to the documentation but I presume I've to rename the player-viral.swf in Player.swf
-File system is set to public
The result is my page with my body text (without [video] tag of course)
I think the problem come from the player but I can't find anything wrong. The configuration is classic and I followed instructions on the official website. I've tryied almost all troubleshooting solutions on the official Website and already corrected the 0 Kb flv file problem. Maybe the problem is the same than the last troubleshooting about white page but my page isn't white (only my body field if I only insert my [video] tag)
I read lot of post concerning this issue but the person never come back and all the issues I've found are closed without solution
If you need further informations about my system, I'm here. I really need help, so plz....

I have the same problem with the same version.
As stated; ffmpeg conversion completes just fine (the origional plus the new .flv and .jpg files now exist in sites/default/files and can be opened in other programs); however, the node cannot seem to find/display either the thumbnail or the video.
For the [video] tag I get nothing.
For the [thumbnail] tag I get the thumbnail_MIA.png

FFmpeg SVN-r12665
using JW player named as sites/default/files/player.swf
some config settings (node type video)
- flash player name: 'Player.swf'
- ffmpeg settings using defaults (tested manually)
universal settings
- only change is to enable cck filefield and set bin path to ffmpeg

Your setting for the JW player looks for Player.swf, but your player in your files folder is named player.swf (lower case p). Changing either value to match the other could solve this.
