Heath	Tuesday 12 October 2010 3:59:20 pm Hello Lo' F, Sounds like you have a web server configuration issue. If you put the video url in a browser and can't access the file and it's giving a web server error page chances are you have a web server configuration issue.

Lo' F.	Wednesday 13 October 2010 1:04:13 pm Sounds like you have a web server configuration issue. Thank you Heath. You are absolutely right.. that's the issue. I added the .flv mime type to the server configuration setting (/etc/mime.types) this way.. flv-application/octet-stream video/x-flv flv but the problem still lingers. Also tried to add this line to .htaccess.. AddType video/x-flv .flv but no result. Of course, restarted the vps (..Linux server) after the changes.. loredanaebook.it
Lo' F.	Sunday 17 October 2010 12:31:19 pm I added the .flv extension in the .htaccess file as follows.. <FilesMatch "(^index\.php\|favicon\.ico\|index_treemenu\.php\|\.(gif\|jpe?g?\|png\|flv\|css\|js\|swf\|html?)\|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$"> order allow,deny allow from all </FilesMatch> ... RewriteRule !(\.(gif\|jpe?g?\|png\|flv\|css\|js\|swf\|html?)\|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$ index.php and now it works! loredanaebook.it

Hello Lo' F,

Sounds like you have a web server configuration issue.

If you put the video url in a browser and can't access the file

and it's giving a web server error page chances are you have a web server configuration issue.

Cheers,

Heath

Thank you Heath. You are absolutely right.. that's the issue.

I added the .flv mime type to the server configuration setting (/etc/mime.types) this way..

flv-application/octet-stream
video/x-flv                    flv

but the problem still lingers.

Also tried to add this line to .htaccess..

AddType video/x-flv .flv

but no result.

Of course, restarted the vps (..Linux server) after the changes..

I added the .flv extension in the .htaccess file as follows..

<FilesMatch "(^index\.php|favicon\.ico|index_treemenu\.php|\.(gif|jpe?g?|png|flv|css|js|swf|html?)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$">
order allow,deny
allow from all
</FilesMatch>

...

RewriteRule !(\.(gif|jpe?g?|png|flv|css|js|swf|html?)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$ index.php

and now it works!
