Been using flashvideo successfully for a few months now. Just updated to flashvideo 6.x-1.5-rc4. Using dashPlayer 1.3.4: http://www.tmtdigital.com/node/35

Installed and configured xmoov-php script: http://xmoov.com/xmoov-php/

Placed script to root drupal directory. So, it runs from http://mysite/xmoov.php

Tested my configuration of script:

http://mysite/xmoov.php?file=video.flv

This returns the video.

However, in flashvideo settings->Streaming Server Configuration:

I check: Enable FlashVideo Streaming
I check xmoov-php for: Streaming Method
I enter xmoov.php for: File Path to xmoov-php Script
This automatically puts in /xmoov.php as: Streaming URL

I go to flashvideo node and click on video that previously played before enabling streaming: Nothing happens.

I studied these previous issues on the subject:

http://drupal.org/node/553988 (no resolution)
http://drupal.org/node/391908 (no resolution)
http://drupal.org/node/375628 (not clear if anyone actually got xmoov-php working)
http://drupal.org/node/372248 (not clear if anyone actually got xmoov-php working)
http://drupal.org/node/343441 (do not see any indication that anyone actually got xmoov-php working)

So, if anyone has gotten the xmoov-php script working with flash video and dashPlayer, I'd really appreciate (and a lot of other folks too!) what you did to get it to work.

Thanks in advance!

Don't know if this helps as I'm using JW Player.

I had similar problems with xmoov until I followed the advice given in this post on the JW Player forum.

http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/forum/Setup-Problems/12133/xmoov-ph...

I copied the example script

Changed:

define('XMOOV_GET_POSITION', 'position');

to

define('XMOOV_GET_POSITION', 'start');

...and then all worked fine.

Hope this helps with dashPlayer.

Thanks for response. I decided to use another player. My goal was to be able to move the status bar to whatever position in the video I wished to go to.

I decided to try: player_flv_maxi.swf

http://flv-player.net/players/maxi/documentation/

Also using the flvmdi metadata injector: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/

Have to inject flv metadata, but once done, the video is "psudo-streamed" and I can move the play bar to whatever position in the video I wish to see.

SomebodySysop, can you explain how you got it to work? I haven't had any success, even by trying player_flv_maxi.swf instead of DashPlayer.

Is this even possible with DashPlayer?

In the end I got it working but I don't know how it'd work with player_flv_maxi.swf. Here's how I got it working with JW Player: http://www.saigonist.com/content/drupal-flashvideo-streaming-php-and-jw-...
