I embedded a WMA audio files, hosted locally in an article on a site and when you actually go to that article and hit play, all it does is show the loading symbol forever.  Never seems to play.

Using AllVideos 4.4 on Joomla 2.5.2

Here is the code I'm using for embedding:
{wma}030412|200|200|0{/wma}

Here is the result:

PArt of the problem may be that I think it's treating a WMA file as a video file, because before I added those custom width/height dimensions it was using the default VIDEO settings rather than the default AUDIO settings.

So I suspect the plugin is interpreting the file incorrectly as a result but I can't be sure.

Did you solve it ? I saw that the audio file plays ok in your link.

I thought I would post a solution here to this kind of problem that I noticed seemed to be a common theme and easy mistake to make from the users point of view (it kept me going for a good long while!) I noticed that when people have posted about this issue there has not been a solution as there is not anything wrong with the plugin it is in fact (as usual) user error.

When I looked at the source code displayed on my page whilst this error was occurring for me too I found that it read .wma.wma at the end of the file location.

I had added the .wma to the file location/path in the code and then allvideos plugin appended it again. this causes the pluging to appear and go with the waiting to load icon but not actually play anything.

aka the path should look like this:  "images/stories/myfile.wma"  should actually read "images/stories/myfile" without the extension which is then put in automatically by allvideos plugin.

By removing the .wma from my path it loaded perfectly :-) I hope this is useful for some others when they search as I couldn't find anything on it until this post reminded me to look at the source code to see what was being displayed. I suspect it could happen with video files not displaying too.

the file not loading, file missing and not playing is the end result and symptom of any easy error to make. Maybe a reminder could be posted on the examples page to make it clear not to include the extension which is normally a common requirement when putting the last part of a path in to a file.
