Flash Video file doesn't play although Flash script looks good

Flash Video file doesn’t play.

This a temp web page I’m building.
http://electfrankmorris.com/

Created in Freeway 5.3.1 using Longtailvideo (JW Player). It plays
fine from Freeway previewed in Safari and Firefox.
It does not play on the host.
The host support say it’s a site design issue but have no clue what’s
wrong.
All the links in the Flash Script look good to me.
I’m using relative rather than absolute links but I don’t think that
should make a difference since all files are in the same directory as
the html page.

Feel free to view source and see if you spot anything wrong.

Even using script and files straight from Longtailvideo JW Player
download has same issue. So I can only guess it either has something
to do with the way the files are uploaded or some issue with the host.
Any suggestions?

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Flash video problem

I have a test flash video at:
http://www.dvtvfilm.com/flashtest.html

The video plays fine in Freeway preview in both Safari and FireFox

It does not play from the Web.

Safari error says (via browser/activity) the flv asset does not exist. Using FETCH, I can definitely verify it does exist in the Resource folder like it is supposed to.

Any help appreciated. The flv file is small–only 16 megs

Many thanks

It looks like your host hasn’t enabled FLV as a valid filetype on your server. The easiest solution is to contact your host and ask them to activate it as such.

Hope this helps,

Joe

Hi Joe-- I switched the test page to a different site on another server (godaddy) – and it works great. You were right-- it’s the first server I put it on, I’m waiting to hear from them re: flv files.

thanks for the fast determination of the problem.

No problem. Generally speaking, if Safari reports that the file can’t be seen and typing the address of the file into the address bar doesn’t work but you can see the file on the server, then the problem usually lies with the server.
