   Hello Sean,

   we have tested the plugin in Chrome and it had played well. It seems to me you have some javascript errors on your page which might be preventing the Flowplayer javascript to execute properly. Please check your site for these errors first, as this is not something we can solve with our plugin.

   Hi Zdenka, I checked with my theme's support team, and they did not find any javascript errors on my page/site. They seem to think it's an issue with the plug in.

   Could this be related to my hosting provider?

   Hi Sean,

   well yes, it could be also your provider, but to be more detailed, we have tested the video you are using, we have used the same url for it as you did, and it played well also in chrome. So the video can be played from your server.

   It really seems like some issue with your site/theme/other plugins, as we are always testing our plugin in different browsers, to be sure it does work. Also you are the only one having this problem.

   Hello everyone,

   Flowplayer is a great video player and FV Wordpress Flowplayer a great plugin and I was frustrated to not be able to make it work in Chrome too...

   But I think I have found the solution!

   I had trouble with both audio player plugin and FV Wordpress Flowplayer plugin, only in Chrome, and I found this solution:
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-audio-player-connecting-with-no-tags-or-custom-titles

   It seems that Chrome doesnt like when audio/video are gzipped (which depend from your provider)

   To disable gzip on audio/video, simply add these lines in a .htaccess file that you put in your website root:

   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .flv$ no-gzip dont-vary
   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .mp4$ no-gzip dont-vary
   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .swf$ no-gzip dont-vary
   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .avi$ no-gzip dont-vary

   You have to add as many line as type of audio/video you are gonna add to your website (or group these lines in one line if you know how to do it)

   Don't forget to completly clear Chrome cache and other temp files and restart it before testing

   I hope this help !

    Hi Alec & Beninsky,

    the suggested changes are great, and we will definitely keep recommending them to users who will have similar problem. But we cannot simply change .htaccess for everybody by default.

    This depends on the server and other settings, maybe also those already present in .htaccess. I would strongly suggest to keep fixing this problem per user basis. We can put this recommendation on how to alter .htaccess into the help, so that users can easily find it.
