Drupal 6.x and configuration of Wysiwyg, FCKeditor 2.6.5 and plug-in flvPlayer for Flash movie support.

Just struggled for a while to get FCK editor configured correctly.
We would like to include a player for *.flv files too and be able to browse the server for files.

Firstly installed the Wysiwig 6.x-2.0 module in 'mysite/sites/all/modules' folder.
Secondly downloaded the FCKeditor 2.6.5 and unpacked it in the 'mysite/sites/all/libraries' folder.
Finally downloaded the flvPlayer.zip and unpacked in 'mysite/sites/all/libraries/fckeditor/editor/plugins/flvPlayer'.

Then made some code changes to get all working.

In 'mysite/sites/all/libraries/fckeditor/fckconfig.js' at line 53 added:
FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'flvPlayer' );

In 'mysite/sites/all/libraries/fckeditor/fckconfig.js' line 300 added:

// Added for flv support.
FCKConfig.MediaBrowser = true ;
FCKConfig.MediaBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Media&Connector=' + encodeURIComponent( FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/connectors/' + _FileBrowserLanguage + '/connector.' + _FileBrowserExtension ) ;
FCKConfig.MediaBrowserWindowWidth = FCKConfig.ScreenWidth * 0.7 ; //70% ;
FCKConfig.MediaBrowserWindowHeight = FCKConfig.ScreenHeight * 0.7 ; //70% ;

In 'mysite\sites\all\libraries\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\php\config.php 'at line 30 set Enable to true
$Config['Enabled'] = true ;

At line 33 set the correct path to the files directory. In my case (private download method):
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/system/files/' ;

At line 39 set the correct directory path to the files directory. e.g:
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = 'c:\\wamp\\files\\';

The Wysiwyg editor has also some changes.
In 'mysite\sites\all\modules\wysiwyg\fckeditor.inc' at line 104 enabled all Browser and Uploads (so the Browse buttons show up in the various dialogs):
set al variables to True:
'LinkBrowser' => TRUE,
'LinkUpload' => TRUE,
'ImageBrowser' => TRUE,
'ImageUpload' => TRUE,
'FlashBrowser' => TRUE,
'FlashUpload' => TRUE,

Now the popup screens are showing the buttons to browse and link on the server. Flash Flv movies are now shown from the 'Media' directory underneath '/system/files'.

Note that the newer '*.f4v' movies only play if renamed to '*.flv'.
