Hello

I have a problem with video module. It si not playing flv video. Video is uploaded, working, but when the player opens up, it is just loading, not playing. When I looked at the log, I found out, that it was looking for "files/video.flv". When I renamed the video (something.flv) to video.flv it was playing it with no problem. But I need more then one video, so this is not solution for me....

Thanx

Yeah I got the same problem with the player displaying but the video not loading. Checking the log, it's looking for the flv in the webroot of drupal and not the specified absolute url that I entered which is in a subfolder.
I don't know why it isn't looking where I specify.

Got it working, though not ideal solution.
The flvplayer.swf needs to be in the same folder as the flv files eg. drupalroot/files/videos/
set that in the video module settings (relative to the drupal root) and the flvplayer always looks in that folder for the named flv file.
If that isn't working try you putting in the absolute url for the video file in the content node.
