I was having troubles streaming an mp3.  I thought I would update to the latest version of allvideo (v2.5.2).  Now all my flv's play as always, but my mpg's do not!

File Type List

I would have thought that Mpg's are still in fairly heavy use...

HELP!!!!

Thank you.

Ok, here is what I did.  (Keep in mind that I am not a code editor..)  I looked through all the files keeping an eye out for the actual extensions.  In jw_allvideos_sources.php  I found paragraphs such as the following:

"mp4" => "
<span style=\"width:{VWIDTH}px;height:{VHEIGHT}px;\" class=\"allvideos_player\" title=\"JoomlaWorks AllVideos Player\">
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML('$mosConfig_live_site/{VFOLDER}/{AVSOURCE}.mp4', '{VWIDTH}', '{VHEIGHT}', '', 'AUTOPLAY', '{AUTOPLAY}', 'SCALE', 'Aspect');
</script>
</span>
",

I copied it and pasted it in the proper place and changed mp4 to mpg.  Now they play.

This is probably an obvious solution to a lot of you, but to me it was a major accomplishment!  :)

A silly video...  :-*

So how can I change it to play with windows media player?

Thanks andyJH, for the "non-coder" tip; it worked for me too. But I note I've got these funny characters --  -- being displayed on top of all my articles and custom modules. Maybe I touched something I shouldn't because I don't see them on your site. I have upgraded to v2.5.3, used your tips on it and they are gone now.
