HI!
I have successfully installed the module, enabled FFMPEG and tweaked php.ini according to the settings suggested in the documentation.
The module works very well: transcoding and folder settings are working properly and thumbnails are created as expected.
However, I have the following problems:

  • the video is there, but it does not show in player on full-node view; regardless of the CCK formatter I set for the field, I can only get it to show it as generic file (e.g. video.flv) or plain URL.
  • the original file also displays a similar behavior in both full-node and teaser view.
  • the thumbnail field wouldn't show up (even in the code) either in full-node or teaser view

This is my set up for the video content type:

  • I have
    • Use FlashVideo to convert files from this CCK file field --> video
    • Save the finished video to this CCK file field --> output
    • Save the finished thumbnail image to this CCK file field --> thumb
  • I have placed Player.swf (JW) in the output directory

I have tried several combinations tinkering with almost any flashvideo and CCK setting but nothing changed.

I guess it is a configuration problem but I really cannot find a way to solve it. I am pretty lost at this point.
Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

You didn't mention using the [video] tag to display the video in your body copy or (alternatively) doing a theme implementation. If you're not sure what I mean, please take a look at the help included with the module.

I think I missed the part where it says the [video] tag is a requirement.
It's working now.
Many thanks

I have wrote a module that makes cck file field formatter for flash video.
You can find it in attached file.
If it is ok I can write a patch for flashvideo_cck module to integrate them with each other.

What do you think?

Dear igor.ro,

It appears that you have an issue that isn't directly related to the first issue here. I'm resetting this one to closed. Please open a new issue for what you've got going on.
