I have a strange problem.
I want to stream some video's from another server. We got the urls from their webmaster and they are working. So i filled them in at use remote video (K2 v2.3) (which i just updated before)

Then i see that before all added video's (even the ones i posted before) the domain URL of our own site is added before the url i  filled in under 'use remote video'. But this is not showing up in the úse remote video'box, where the right address is shown.

How to solve this problem?

Would be great if someone could help.

example:
'use remote video' box:
playproxyemu.vpcore.snkn.nl/play_proxy/mmc/LGzVytoNrda8bdGO75P8SnLe/papenberg.wmv

When i then save and check the page source code of the video, this url shows up:
coasttv.eu/http://playproxyemu.vpcore.snkn.nl/play_proxy/mmc/LGzVytoNrda8bdGO75P8SnLe/papenberg.wmv

Now the video is not working, because it's not on coasttv.eu.

Anyone?

I'm seeing the same issue, I believe the remote video is being recognized as local. Do not have a fix yet.

Looking at item.php in adminsitrator/components/com_k2/models

lines 461-465:

if (JRequest::getVar('remoteVideo')) {
$fileurl = JRequest::getVar('remoteVideo');
$filetype = JFile::getExt($fileurl);
$row->video = '{'.$filetype.'remote}'.$fileurl.'{/'.$filetype.'remote}';
}

this code appears to determine the plugin snippet. I don't see what is wrong with it however. Anyone?

The plugin code is being stored properly in the items table in the database:

{flvremote}remotedomain.com/path/video.flv{/flvremote}

However the flvplayer rendered on the page sees this address instead:

localdomain.net/http://remotedomain.com/path/video.flv

when I disable the plugin so the page will reveal the plugin code instead of the player, I see:

{flvremote}localdomain.net/http://remotedomain.com/path/video.flv{/flvremote}

so though the plugin code is being stored in the database properly, it apparently is being assembled by k2 improperly before the plugin gets it.

anybody have an idea where to look next? thanks.

so though the plugin code is being stored in the database properly, it apparently is being retrieved by k2 and the local domain is improperly prepended before the plugin gets it.

any smart folk out there know how k2 works?

I restarted this thread in the bug forum, where it belongs... a fix has already been posted. thanks.
