I had to add the Flowplayer JavaScript within the view because a JavaScript link was causing the web address to show up in weird places.

Hi Robert!
Great Plugin! Looks nice, but I hav an issue:
I get an error: 200 Stream not found. The adress provided is the downloadable Link of the file, wich is working well.
Thanks for the help!
best Eru
@Gunther Maybe you need to configure Apache to handle FLV files. Check to see if you can download a FLV file using a direct link to the file. Is your video file an FLV? that was the only file type I tested.
@Robert: Thats weird: With *.flv file it is not working at all. *.flv behaves like a regular file. Downloadable...
The other file was a regular videofile (*.mpg)
Hmm, hmm, what should I configure with apache?
installed in elgg 1.6.1 perfectly.. Thanks!!
now the questions.. what other formats is it setup to handle? i tested it with a .flv, but I know as soon as my community sees this, I'm gonna get bombarded with "Hey, will it play _____ files?" I'd like to be prepared for that ;)
Also, is this still compatible with flowplayer plugins? and if so, any tips on using them?
I'm very happy with this as-is.. just curious on the other stuff....... Thanks again!
The .htaccess file must be edited to allow other types of video files to be uploaded. First, you must find the # Configure ETags section and add file extensions to the FilesMatch. Then you need to edit some lines to allow bigger files to be uploaded:
# default memory limit to 150Mb
php_value memory_limit 150M
# max post size to 100Mb
php_value post_max_size 104857600
# upload size limit to 100Mb
php_value upload_max_filesize 104857600
Thank you so much for this plugin.
I have a problem when you post a video I get the player but the video is loading and not playing, what will the problem, sorry for my English.
Thank you for this plugin, just wondering whether anyone has had this problem...when uploading a video file from ur comp...it comes up saying video is queued up for conversion..any help would be appreciated..
excuse my noobness
I added the file types mpg and wav to .htaccess so it looks like this
# Configure ETags
<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|mp3|flv|mov|avi|3pg|html|htm|swf|mpg|wav)$">
FileETag MTime Size
</FilesMatch>

Hi I have installed this but when I upload say a Video file it uploads fine but the flowplayer doesnt play it, just looks like it is loading all the time?? any ideas?
Davie
i am using elgg 1.7.6 ...........i am getting the uploaded files as regular uploaded files......
Works great for users that are logged-in, but when a guest attempts to view the video an error occurs.
can u add a profile widget that plays the videos uploaded in file?
one music player offers this -- http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/615795/developer/jaxcatz/audio-player-widget-for-elgg-ver171
flowplayer uses Adobe(R) Flash Player. Flash Player doesn't load avi and wmv.
Only mp4 / mov / FLV / F4V is supported.
@chambo67 thanks for that. i wasn't aware of that limitation of flash player.
Has someone this plugin, working properly, in a 1.7.4 version of Elgg?
I just can see the flowplayer window, but not the video.....
Thanks!!!! ;-)
I have installed this plugin correctly but when I try to play a video it gives me a responce " 200.stream not found: netstream.play.streamnotfound:clip"
The video dows not play

i uploaded a mp4 video file and it shows like loading all the time, no playing... any fixes?
Is it work for 1.7.10 version ? I need to know before download. Thanks
não funciona...
For those having problems playing .FLV files just add the following line to the end of your .htaccess file:
simple fix :-)
This plugin works "as is" for 1.7.11. However you need to tweak the file module to get it work.
I ran into the same problem that flv video files were loaded but cannot be played. I tried all the early suggestions to no vail. So I did some debugging and confirmed that $_FILES returns the mimetype as application/octet-stream. I made a fix to mod/file/actions/upload.php, and added the following code before the line "// we have a file upload, so process it":
/* beginning of the fix */
if ($_FILES['upload']['type'] == 'application/octet-stream') {
if (substr_count($_FILES['upload']['name'],'.flv'))
$_FILES['upload']['type'] = 'video/x-flv';
}
/* End of the fix */
Simply put, since PHP cannot recognize the flv type, I set it myself.
Now it works like a charm!
I have elgg 1.8.3 I installed the plugin but nothing happens... no reproductor, nothing... anybody knows how to get it works?
