Mov file doesn’t play, only loads

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Mov file doesn’t play, only loads

  • Aron 15 years ago

    Hi,

    I want to play a video on one of my pages, but when I press play, the video starts to load, but it doesn’t start to play. I waited for hours, but nothing, it’s still loading and not playing. The video file is compressed, an h.264 mov file and is 6 mb in size. What can be the problem?

    Thanks :)

    Hi Aron,

    the video has probably some problem with encoding, try to encode the video once again, preferably to mp4 or flv format.

    Hello,
    I’m having the same problem with an mp4 file. I don’t have to specify it anywhere, do I?

    I also wanted to know how to get rid of the black border specified in
    flowplayer_container
    border: solid 1px black;
    Thanks!

    Hi Wendy,

    getting rid of that black border, you can modify the css file of he plugin, or override it with your own css.

    About the video not playing, we have experimented with several codecs for mp4, and using h264 sounded like a good option for us. Or try to recode your video to something else, for example Quicktime player can do the recoding for you.

    If I modify the css file of the plugin, will it get overwritten when
    the plugin gets updated?
    Thanks,
    Wendy

    Hi Wendy,

    unfortunately yes, all files in the plugin directory will be overwritten. It’s how wordpress handles this.
