I've posted my .wmv video into the root directory images/stories/videos as "401.wmv".  I've input the following code into my homepage article:

{wmv}401{/wmv}

I get the allvideo player on the page, but the video never loads after pressing play (just seems to load forever). 

Does anyone have some suggestions of what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks!

The link leads to 404 error page!

I have a similar problem the video won't start playing just loads, it does play though after clicking it two more times, also when on auto-play it just loads endlessly.

I use AllVideos 3.3 on a Joomla 1.5.22 (the same combination makes no problems on my local server)
This behavior occurred in Fire Fox 3.6.12, Internet-Explorer 8.0.6, Safari 5.0.3 and Google Chrome 8.0.552.215, only in Opera 10.63 the video started to play but 'stuttered' at the beginning.

I am having the same problem.. I have my video in images/stories/video/name.wmv
I am using {wmv}name.wmv{/wmv}

and it is not working....  what i am doing wrong..
