Video only plays locally, does"t play when posted to server

Posted: May 13, 2010

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this.

I'm using the commercial version. I have inserted the key.

It plays fine locally, but when I post it to the server, I just get a black box. I've tried putting in the full path to the SWF, but that doesn't fix it.

If I replace my SWF link with http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.1.swf, it works.

You can see it here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been driving me crazy all day.

Thanks,
Jackie

I'm having a similar issue.
took code from herehttp://static.flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/rtmp.html and changed

http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf"
and
url: 'flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.0.swf',

to

http://localhost:5000/common/includes/flash/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf"
url: 'http://localhost:5000/common/includes/flash/flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.0.swf',

I checked the patch and compared the files and they are binary the same but when hosted locally it doesn't

got the same issue here:

http://v005084.vhost-vweb-02.sil.at/flowplayer/test/example/index.html

at my PC it works in Firefox, also jackied's link works in my firefox.
All other browsers just show a black box.

It also works fine on every other webhost or on my local apache server.

I'm seeing that you are missing the controls flash player, make sure it is in the same folder as the main flowplayer file.

3.2.1 doesn't seem to need to load the control.
besides, we are discussing about flowplayer not playing on IE and Chrome

Issue Resolved - plays in IE now.

I used the paid support and got the answer for why it wouldn't play in IE.

Apparently, I was using gzip compression on my server.

I created a .htaccess file and added these lines of code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule . - [E=no-gzip:1]

That resolved the problem. Hope this helps some of you.

Had this problem for weeks and couldn't figure it out. It turned out being the gzip on my server. I disabled gzip and it worked!

I'm having the same issue but I don't want to disable gzip compression, Its making my server load faster. Is there any way around this, or does anyone know a player that will work with gzip compression on?

You only need to disable gzip for the swf file type.

It can also be one on a per folder basis.
With apache just add a .htaccess file with the above commands in it to the folder you're storing your flowplayer.swf files in.

That way gzipping will only be disabled for that folder.

There's tons of additional information on the subject via google: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&&sa=X&ei=QnAWTJH0OISdlgfxr-GFDA&ved=0CBEQBSgA&q=htaccess+disable+gzip+swf&spell=1&fp=610e7dd948e54cca

Oh wow, I never knew gzip was causing this. That was the exact problem that I had. Thanks for sharing the solution.

Same issue

Hi,

I am having the same issue with the GPL version. It works locally but not when uploaded to the server. So I made several other tests :
- the player does not work on my server which is a dedicated server however it works on some shared server.
- if I try to directly access the player (the SWF file) on my dedicated server with a web browser, I get a white blank page while the player initialize correctly on the shared server.

So I think that maybe the problem comes from Apache. I found out that other people experienced white blank pages on SWF files so I am currently investigating this way (cache, mime type, ...).

Sad point is that I have other SWF on my dedicated server which work fine. But as the dedicated and shared server use the same SWF file for the player I don't think that the problem comes from the player itself even if I don't eliminate this idea either.

Sounds like you gzipping of Flash content (swf files) enabled on your server. Disable it. While being a good idea in general, gzipping does not make sense for already compressed content - swf, jpeg etc.

Yea i thought it could be browser compatible problem in my opinion.
I may have to check server setting today about gzipping setting.
I will let you know after I check it.
Thank you Christian~
