I have confirmed that everything you said is correct. If I use flowplayer-3.2.4.swf on the FlowPlayer site, it works correctly. If I use a local version of this, it works correctly. If I use a remote version that I have copied, it fails. I have re-installed FlowPlayer, tried 2 different FTP clients, verified that the transfer was binary, and I have copied the remote file back to my PC and verified that it is identical to the original version.

When I replicate these tests with version 3.1.5, they work correctly.

I can't think of anything else. It's weird.

Interesting.

I will have a closer look at your working version, and report back soon.

Thanks for assisting.

Plays locally but not remotely

Posted: Sep 11, 2010

I previously raised this issue in the configuration forumhttp://flowplayer.org/forum/2/47470, but it looks like a bug.

I have a simple example of an FLV video that is played by Flowplayer 3.2.4 in Firefox 3.6.9. It plays locally, but when I deploy it remotely, it does not start. I had the same problem with 3.2.2.

However, if I use Flowplayer 3.1.5, the video does play locally and remotely. The only difference between these two examples is the versions of the Flowplayer components.

This is the 3.2.4 versionhttp://ctwist.jalbum.net/temptest/slides/mirage_sample1.html.
This is the 3.1.5 versionhttp://ctwist.jalbum.net/temptest1/slides/mirage_sample1.html.

			  onLoad: function() {alert(document.getElementById('imageid').innerHTML);}
			  }
			);
	</script>
</body>

I have fixed this by reverting to version 3.1.5.http://ctwist.jalbum.net/temptest1/slides/mirage_sample1.html

This seems to be a bug in version 3.2.2.

Since I posted this, I added an alert that shows the generated innerHTML code. This is what you are seeing. This is just diagnostic information. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to provide any additional clues.

Actually, while adding diagnostic code, I introduced a bug (a superfluous comma). This is now fixed. Consequently the popup message from the previous post should be ignored.

The first message in this thread is still an accurate description of the problem.

Runs locally, but not remotely

Posted: Aug 10, 2010

I have a web page that plays an FLV video.

When I run this locally, the video plays correctly, but when I deploy it to a remote web site:
http://ctwist.jalbum.net/temptest/slides/mirage_sample1.html
it refuses to play in Firefox 3.6.7. I have tried various ways to specify the parameters, but nothing works.

Any suggestions?

IE6 compatibility

Posted: Dec 31, 2009

There have been a few posts about problems running Flowplayer in IE6. I also cannot get 3.1.5 to work locally (security error 2142, despite configuring the Adobe Flash settings).

However, I use Flowplayer 2.2.4, and I find it completely reliable in IE6/7/8, Firefox 3, Safari 4. I would like to recommend this to others, but it is no longer available for download.

Sugestions:
- Could you provide a download link to version 2.2.4, for those of us who require IE6 compatibility? You could stipulate that this is offered without support.
- Alternatively, would it be possible to compare 2.2.4 with the latest version, and identify what has caused it to break? I suspect that this would not be a trivial task, but maybe you could relax the security restrictions, to behave like 2.2.4.

Flowplayer 3.0.7 is now working for me in IE6. I'm not sure what the problem was.

I have the same problem. I am running an embedded FLV video in a local HTML page. I have XP Home SP3, IE6, Flash 10. All components have the latest patches applied. FlowPlayer 3.0.5 opens, but the video does not open. No messages are shown.

This video plays correctly in Firefox and Safari, on the same PC.

I still have FlowPlayer 2.2.4 installed. This works correctly.

p.s. The link that you mentionedhttp://flowplayer.org/demos/plugins/fake-fullscreen.html does play correctly in IE6. Maybe the problem only occurs with local web pages.
