Hi folks,

I am evaluating the All Videos Plugin for our Company intranet site.
Looks like a great plugin but unfortunatly I run into some troubles.
All movies hosted on the internet work just fine. I can insert youtube movies, flash movies, etc.

The problem is when I try to show anything that is hosted on webservers on the local network, the player shows the error: Video not found
I triple checked the URL shown after the error message and it is correct.
The syntax I use is :{flv}movie{/flv} or {mp4}movie{/mp4}

Funny thing is when I put an MP3 file {mp3}music{/mp3} it works just great.

I cannot seem to find were I went wrong.

I do not want to host my files on youtube as a work around. This will consume to much of our bandwith.

Anyone a clue what might be the problem here?

I am using Joomla 1.0.14 RC1 with Joomla works All Video plugin v2.5.3

Thanks,

Remko

I found the problem.

The Joomla site is hosted on a IIS intranet server. I have tried different IIS servers and all gave the same problem.
I then tried it on a webserver that is using Apache. Voila, the FLV started working.

Developpers: Any clue why this is giving a problem on IIS?

Hi
Had the same ptoblem !

When serving .flv files off of a Windows Server 2003 (or any other Windows server I would imagine) requires setting up the MIME type on the server first (it isn't one of the native MIME types on MS servers).

Adding .flv MIME type in IIS

On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information Services Manager.
1) Select the site to configure in IIS, right click and select "Properties"
2) Under HTTP Headers Tab, select "File Types" under the MIME Map section and select "New Type"
3) Type ".flv" as the associated extension and "video/x-flv" as the content type.
4) Select "OK", refresh iis server and you're ready to fly!

Worked for me ! 8)
