Issue Summary
I've got the latest version of Dash player working fine. I can upload videos and show them on a page. And I can create playlists using views and that all works fine.
I introduced the latest stable version of the flashvideo module so that I could use ffmpeg. That module is installed and working fine. I can upload videos and they get converted to flv and the thumbnails get created fine.
I can use the Dash player to play a video uploaded via the flashvidio module but I need to use the "file" flashvar. When I pass it the node ID the player won't find the file and play it.
Same issue with the views playlist. The Dash player is not finding the flv file to play from the nodes. It's finding and displaying the thumbnails correctly, its just not getting the flv video CCK field.
How does the Dash player know WHICH CCK file field contains the video? The flashvideo module REQUIRES two file upload CCK fields to be present on your content type. Is there a way to specifically tell the player WHICH CCK field to use to get the video to play?

Hello der,
Most of the issues and the questions that you have are answered in my online tutorials provided at...

Have you gone through these videos. I am pretty certain that the issue that you are having has to do with an incorrect configuration of the Services module.
Let me know if this helps.
Travis.

Thanks Travis,
Yes, I've been through the tutorials several times (great work by the way!). The Services module is working ok for the player playing a single video AND for playing a playlist from a view. The playlists STOP working when I add the flashvideo module to the mix. At that point it seems like the player can't determine which field on the node has the video to play (there are two videos on the node since one is the pre-converted video and one is the post-converted video). What does the logic look like in the player when it gets the node to play from the view? Is it looking for the first video it finds in the node? Or the first flv video? Or ??
