Hello,

I am building a website on my home webserver. I installed the Allvideo plugin and with YouTube or Metacafe videos it works fine but when I try my own videos in the images/stories/videos folder all I see is the Allvideos player with something circling in the middle but no video. I used the {flv}filename{/flv}  method. But even when I only use {flv}{/flv} I get the same result, no video only the player. I tried different templates and Firefox but it's all the same.

Someone knows a sollution??

Thanks,

Dennis.

dennis,

i am having the same problem as are a lot of others. i believe it is a template issue, as i can get the video to work with a fresh joomla install, no added mods or components or editors, and using thedefault solarflare theme. once i try to add a retail template, it just shows the player with the loading icon, but nothing ever loads.

horrible, because i loved the look of this player, but support on the joomla site has been redirected here, and it looks like we'll be getting none of that anytime soon. this is the best player i have found so far, it just does not work and support is limited.

I was having the same problem and H9 helped me track down the issue. They changed my htaccess file with the code below.

Hope this helps...

It didn't help, instead I got an HTTP 500 Internal server error. Is it maybe possible that you post the complete code of your .htaccess file?

Thanks.

Just checked and that's the only thing in that file now. Maybe there's another setting in your php.ini file creating this issue.

i tried that too and got the server error.

again, it works when using the default template for joomla with no addons/mods/components.

once i add the monoslideshow it stops working...

I checked the php.ini file but I'am no expert so I could not find anything to change to make it work.
But I'll keep searching for an answer and if somebody else knows/finds a sollution please let me know.

Thanks already.

Dennis.

tags I use: {flv}fietsen{/flv}

(language is dutch but you'll see the player)

I use Apache 2 as (home)server.

Videos linked from YouTube work fine only the videos from my own server seem to do nothing.

Thanks for your time.

Dennis.

I've tried different plugins for joomla, embedding and the WYSIWYG editor for flash but nothing works. When I go to the file through the server[url=http://192.168.1.7/images/stories/videos/fietsen.swf]http://192.168.1.7/images/stories/videos/fietsen.swf[/url]it also doesn't work. So I am afraid it has something with the configuration of Apache. I am searching the internet already for a few days but still no solution.
Trying to host your own website keeps you busy! :) But someday...(I hope it works).

Dennis.
