Ah, sorry Dave, I thought you were talking about the recording video feature, but it was the media option instead... my apologies.

The code for this media fckeditor plugin is here:

http://is.gd/cdV76

Specifically, here's the javascript logic for the media plugin:

http://is.gd/cdVfR

As you can see, based on the extension of the uploaded file it chooses the player to use: http://is.gd/cdVqE

If the uploaded media is FLV, then this is the html string that gets added to the page: http://is.gd/cdVxc

I hope this helps. Otherwise let me know.

Thanks,

Ernie

Yes, I checked the HTML output and its the same on my working example and the broken example.

Only difference is the platform. Working example is on Solaris.Broken example is on Windows Server 2003.

Are the configuation issues on Windows that could cause this?

SO i guess the first question, has anyone tested the FLV movie player with a MS Server 2003 installation?

Dave, I think I have a 2003 server around. I'll give it a go and get back to you

Dave, I've installed LAMS on a Win 2003 Server and I can see what you mean, but I can't figure out why this won't work with *exactly* the same html chunk than in a linux box. Puzzles me.

However, I found that on the logs the actual .flv file doesn't get called:

124.170.37.250 - test1 [27/May/2010:19:33:44 +1000] "GET /lams/flashxml/configData.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 2613

124.170.37.250 - test1 [27/May/2010:19:33:44 +1000] "GET /lams/authoring/author.do?method=getLearningDesignDetails&learningDesignID=18 HTTP/1.1" 200 3787
124.170.37.250 - test1 [27/May/2010:19:33:44 +1000] "GET /lams/learning/learner.do?method=getFlashProgressData&lessonID=12 HTTP/1.1" 200 920


The FLV player (player_flv_maxi.swf) file gets called but the movie doesn't.

So this might be an issue with the player though. This is the player we use http://is.gd/cr3cS Perhaps you could see if they have a new one?

The other option is to replace the flv player for another one. We use this one as it suits the GPL license but depending on the usage you give it, you can use others like JW player

Thanks,

ernie
