FLV Files Not Playing


FLV Files Not Playing Mulva

flash (macromedia):
On our website, championbaptist.com, we want to use FLV files. They work great
locally, but do not play when uploaded to our web host. The actual page that
has the video inserted is www.championbaptist.com/multimedia_Dec06.htm. I have
been told by our web host that they support flv files (I created an .htaccess
file as well). Here is the code that is generated by Dreamweaver when I insert
the flash video:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,0,0','width','373','height','285','id','FLVPlayer','src','FLVPlayer_
Progressive','flashvars','&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Halo_Skin_3&streamName
=chamvid1206final&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false','quality','high','scale','nos
cale','name','FLVPlayer','salign','lt','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/
go/getflashplayer','movie','FLVPlayer_Progressive' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object

<embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"

al&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="373"
height="285" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

I've been all over the net looking for help, so I thought I would try one last
time here and see if anyone can help. Thanks.

Most likely you need to set up MIME type for the FLV file.

I do realize that it's the same question, but I'm reasking it because I still
cannot get flv files to play off our website. I've spent hours with my web
host and hours in tweaking the embed tags trying to get it to work. I thought
if I post the HTML code someone might see something that I am missing.

Post your URL. Twice now MIME type has been mentioned, and you still haven't
said if your server it set up for it. There are really only a few possibilites
here:
#1 - your server needs to be set up for the correct flv mime type
#2 - the flv file is not on your server
#3 - the specified path to your FLV is wrong

I have yet to see another reason for your problem, which happens to about
three people a week. One of the above fixes always solves the problem.
