Someone said I needed to post this here instead of the plugin forum - sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I've installed mod_flvx and restarted apache - everything seems fine. phpinfo shows that mod_flvx is loaded.

But when I access a flowplayer test script, the entire flv file downloads - or so it seems. The network is heavily used for a few minutes, after there is little activity. This is while no other browsers or applications are running.

I've tried curl with file.flv?start=10000 - increasing the start value decreases the content length. But I'm not sure if that tells me that streaming is working.

Help?

Okay here is code from a test page.

It was tested from different PCs last night, and I discovered that the entire file is being downloaded. mod_flvx is enabled according to phpinfo.



HTML setup for the player

<!-- include latest Flowplayer javascript file -->
<script language="javascript" src="path/to/flowplayer-3.2.6.js"></script>

<!-- player container with optional splash image -->
<a href="path/to/video_file" id="playerContainer">
	<img src="path/to/splash_image" />
</a>

JavaScript coding

Following script will install Flowplayer into our player container

<script language="javascript">
// our custom configuration is given in third argument
flowplayer("playerContainer", "path/tohttp://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.7.swf",{
<script src="/swf/flowplayer-3.0.6.min.js"></script>

<style>
/* container has a background image */
a.player {	
	margin-top:40px;
	display:block;
	background:url<a href='/img/player/splash.png)'>http://flowplayer.org/img/player/splash.png)</a> no-repeat;
	width:425px;
	height:298px;
	padding:0 126px 75px 127px;	
	text-align:center;
	color:#fff;
	text-decoration:none;
	cursor:pointer;
}

/* splash image */
a.player img {
	margin-top:115px;
	border:0;	
}

</style>

<a class="player" id="player"></a>

<script type="text/javascript">

$f("player", "/swf/flowplayer-3.0.7.swf", {

	// this will enable pseudostreaming support 
	plugins: { 
		pseudo: { url: '/swf/flowplayer.pseudostreaming-3.1.1.swf' } 
	},
	
	// clip properties 
	clip: {
		
		// make this clip use pseudostreaming plugin with "provider" property
		provider: 'pseudo',				
		
        // all videos under this baseUrl support pseudostreaming on the server side		
		url: 'edited_judi_presentation_cd3.flv'		
	}   
});
</script>
});
</script>

I created a test page here:http://170.140.225.111/flow.html

I found the same thing today. The player works fine till 29 minutes (out of a 44 minute video), then stops.

I've installed the apache flv module and according to tests with curl, that part works fine.

Where I am lost is the page setup..http://flowplayer.org/demos/streaming/ includes some javascript which I've copied and pasted in a test html file. All I see is the "Show Me" image - not the player. I've made sure all paths point to files that exist on my server.

On a separate page I made the simple non-streaming player, which works fine.

Please help?
