Some help with struggling to play FLV from your server

Posted: Jul 2, 2009

I thought I would add some help to anyone who are struggling to get their FLV files to play on their websites, even though you uploaded the file correctly.

It is quite simple to fix, just follow these steps:

Adding .flv MIME type in IIS

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" and you're ready to fly!

Thanks for the info vonnii,

To aid in searches, it might be an idea to re-title your post?

i.e. "Adding FLV metadata in IIS"

Cheers

Thank u for trying to help people like me but, I dont know what you are talking about. When i right click a page, I dont see any of what u mentioned. I thought you were talking about MY page, and yet no options like what u mentioned there either. I dont know if I need this or not.
