why is my player not working?

By adam3000, 1 year ago.

I've got my player installed and working with the demo but not with my implementation on my site.

It's working on the demo with this code:
http://www.cravenswarren.com/insurance/plugins/osflv/demo.php

<script charset='ISO-8859-1' src='/insurance/plugins/osflv/rac.js' language='javascript'></script><script language='javascript'>
var src = 'player';
if(!DetectFlashVer(9, 0, 0) && DetectFlashVer(8, 0, 0))
src = 'player8';
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0', 'width', 400, 'height', 340, 'src', src, 'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer', 'id', 'flvPlayer', 'allowFullScreen', 'true', 'movie', src, 'FlashVars','movie=video.flv&autoload=off&volume=70');
</script>
<noscript>
<object width='400' height='340' id='flvPlayer'>
<param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'>
<param name='movie' value='/insurance/plugins/osflv/player.swf?movie=video.flv&autoload=off&volume=70'>
<embed src='/insurance/plugins/osflv/player.swf?movie=video.flv&autoload=off&volume=70' width='400' height='340' allowFullScreen='true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'>
</object>
</noscript>

But it's not working here with this code:
http://www.cravenswarren.com/insurance/mediaserve.php?serve=play|252|/insurance_videos/Property_Insurance_001.flv

<script charset='ISO-8859-1' src='/insurance/plugins/osflv/rac.js' language='javascript'></script><script language='javascript'>
var src = 'player';
if(!DetectFlashVer(9, 0, 0) && DetectFlashVer(8, 0, 0))
src = 'player8';
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0', 'width', 480, 'height', 310, 'src', src, 'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer', 'id', 'flvPlayer', 'allowFullScreen', 'true', 'movie', src, 'FlashVars','movie=../../assets/files/insurance_videos/Property_Insurance_001.flv&fgcolor=0x601142&bgcolor=0x999999&autoload=off&volume=70');
</script>
<noscript>
<object width='480' height='310' id='flvPlayer'>
<param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'>
<param name='movie' value='/insurance/plugins/osflv/player.swf?movie=../../assets/files/insurance_videos/Property_Insurance_001.flv&fgcolor=0x601142&bgcolor=0x999999&autoload=off&volume=70'>
<embed src='/insurance/plugins/osflv/player.swf?movie=../../assets/files/insurance_videos/Property_Insurance_001.flv&fgcolor=0x601142&bgcolor=0x999999&autoload=off&volume=70' width='480' height='310' allowFullScreen='true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'>
</object>

As you can see the code for both is nearly identical (only the flv files change)

The link to the player and file work by themselves...
http://www.cravenswarren.com/insurance/plugins/osflv/player.swf?movie=../../assets/files/insurance_videos/Property_Insurance_001.flv

So why aren't they working in the script?

Are you getting an error message or is the player not showing up at all?

but not show up when using the script?

Do you have the AC_Run js file or the rac js file hosted?

Both files are hosted and available:
http://www.cravenswarren.com/insurance/plugins/osflv/AC_RunActiveContent.js
http://www.cravenswarren.com/insurance/plugins/osflv/rac.js

As you can see in the code above, the demo (working) and my video (not working) both use the rac js file.

Is that what you're asking about?

Ok, I see. The only other thing I can suggest is that you host the flv and use an absolute path. It seems like it can't find the flv file.

hmm ... I'll try the absolute path and see if that works ... back in a sec.

I found the deal. Thanks for the tip on the absolute path.

Turns out the var src 'player' needed to be absoulte.
