200 stream not found after embedding shortcode

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › 200 stream not found after embedding shortcode

  • Sunshine 13 years, 9 months ago

    Hi there. I just installed the FW WordPress plug in. I am running WP 3.2.1.

    I always work in ‘HTML’ mode in the WP editor.

    I know very little about this, so I went for use of the shortcode inside of a page or post. As instructed in the WP admin panel, I FTP’d a “Video” folder (containing Movie.mp4) into my domain’s root directory.

    So, the path to the .mp4 I am wanting to embed is : ‘http://www.mysite.com/Videos/Movie.mp4’

    When I embed the shortcode [flowplayer src=Movie.mp4] I get the error message “200, streamnotfound, netstream.Play.streamnotfound, Clip:[Clip]http://mysite.com/Movie.mp4.

    Again, I know very little, but it seems to me that the plug in is not recognizing the “Video” directory that the Movie.mp4 is in. I experimented with FTPing the video file loose in my root directory – as it seemed that was where the plug in was looking for it. I got the same error.

    I did try putting single quotes around the file in the shortcode, too: [flowplayer src='Movie.mp4'], to no avail.

    Please help me figure out my shortcode problem.

    Or, if there is a way to embed HTML code to get it to work, then I would love to know!

    Thank you!

    Okay, I have an answer! I had to continue trying to solve it myself.

    The answer is…1and1 web hosting does not allow video streaming on shared servers.

    :)

    Bye!

    I have the same problem except my host wants to allow me to have this plugin so he wants to know what he needs to install on the server.

    Anyone?

    Hi Sandy,

    if you experience the 200 error problem, first you need to check if the shortcode is ok, if you entered correctly the path to the video, if the video is properly uploaded.
    If everything is ok on your side, then you can talk to your hosting company about allowing the streaming of the video. I don’t think there’s anything special that needs to be installed, but your hosting company should know better what they have on they servers and what they allow or not.

    Hello Fred,

    you should start by checking if the video FLV or MP4 file URL opens for you in your browser.

    Then you can for example check the access logs to check if Flowplayer is trying to fetch the file properly. If it appears to be using the correct path, then you are probably not using the right mp4 encoding. Check supported codec here: http://flash.flowplayer.org/documentation/technical-facts.html

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,

    I’ve been loading videos.
    First 4 work flawlessly.

    5th one gets this error message:

    200, Stream not found,NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: ‘[Clip] ‘http://d3h89mk4txjl2f.cloudfront.net/Coffee Talk #5b.mp4″

    My site code =
    [flowplayer src='http://d3h89mk4txjl2f.cloudfront.net/Coffee Talk #5b.mp4' width=640 height=360 splash='http://yourwealthpreservationcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Coffee-Talk-5-640x360.jpg' autoplay=false]

    Is there something obvious i’ve missed at my end?

    Thanks,
    George

    Ok. I’m not sure what the error actually was; but, I went back and exported the file again from Screenflow; re-created the mp4 with Handbreak; up loaded to S3 and deployed.

    It works fine now.

    LOL. When all else fails, start again!

    Hope this helps someone else…

    Hi George,

    If you open this link http://d3h89mk4txjl2f.cloudfront.net/Coffee Talk #5b.mp4, you will see “AccessDenied”. That means you have to make the file public – in the Amazon S3 Console, right click on the file and click “Make Public”. That should solve your issue.

    Or you can do it when you upload the file (9th step – “Grant public read…”)

    Thanks,
    Milan
