  • wtfdog 12 years, 4 months ago

    I have uploaded a few flv files to root/videos folder. I’m usng the embed code:

    [flowplayer src='puppy.flv']

    Nothing shows. I checked with host and they alow streaming and i’m on latest version of PHP.

    Here’s my post:

    ‘http://www.wtfdog.com/2013/01/flowplayer-test/’

    Can anyone tell me why this doesn’t work?

    Please someone help me.

    I installed the plugin successfully, but does not play the video, what confuses me is that I do not show any error.

    Not to do, what they fail to see is inico the same color canvas.

    Video example of flowplayer if it works in the settings.

    Hi gersson,

    That could be a problem in flowplayer core or some javascript error. Could you provide a link where the video is inserted?

    Thanks,
    Milan

    Hi gersson,

    that looks like a problem with encoding. Could you try to reencode the video with some other codec?

    If you are still having issues, you can submit your ticket to our pro support – http://foliovision.com/seo-tools/wordpress/pro-install and we will take a deeper look at your issue.

    Thanks,
    Milan

    Do not understand what the other codec?
    Could you send me some examples?, please.

    thanks

    Hi gersson,

    you can try this program http://handbrake.fr/. Here is the manual https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/WindowsGuiGuide. I would suggest to use MP4 format and “Web optimized”.

    Thanks,
    Milan

    gersson 12 years ago

    The video is in MP4.

    This is not to send me concerned.

    I understand that the plugin is installed correctly and that your sugires that failure is due to the code of the video?

    Hi Milan,

    This is a pro support incident. We do not support people’s issues with encoding or server. We support problems with our code. On the other hand, feel free to refer gersson to our other documentation or to improve our documentation if there are holes in it.

    That’s the way free support is done:

    1. improve documentation
    2. fix bugs

    Other support is pro support.
