    Hi Kevin,

    could you please provide a working link for your video file?

    There must be something wrong with one of your video stream. Perhaps it’s using yuv encoding. You can just re-encode it with a free software called Handbrake: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/encoding

    Thanks,
    Martin

    its some sort of wordpres bs because everything worked fine when i just uploaded the video to youtube then used the youtube embed code in the html edit for the webpage.

    for now i’m not going to dive in to a fix for the upload to wordpress method

    thanks!

    Hello Kevin,

    the video plays on Youtube, as Youtube re-encodes each uploaded video. So if you download the MP4 from Youtube, it will be already properly encoded and will play.

    Thanks,

    Hi – I have an opposite problem – there is no audio about 20 minutes in. It’s in my original file. Is this a problem with the player??

    Thanks

    Hello Liz,

    thank you for your video checker submission. I’m getting the sound on the video through the full length (Safari 7.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.9.1). I don’t see any issue with the audio stream.

    Are you able to reproduce the problem again? What browser are you using on what OS?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    I had to change the file – I could hear no audio, even though it had been working just fine. The speaker and I had both listened to it separately. I exported again from my Screenflow file, compressed the file and uploaded.

    I use Safari with OS -X 10.9.2.

    Hello Liz,

    just make sure you use Handbrake to compress the video and you shouldn’t be having any issues: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/encoding

    Thanks,
    Martin
