FLV movie not playing in webpage

Hi,
I need help here as I'm completely baffled.
I have created a. FLV movie which is placed in a webpage
created in Dreamweaver 8. I created the FLV in Flash 8 by importing
the Video and creating the Controls etc and placing all the files
in the same directory as the page.
On my own home computers, and also from the Hardrive, the
movies work fine.
When placed on the work intranet site, the page loads, but
the FLV file is just a white blank page.
Is there something that needs to be chnaged on the Webserver
to play FLV's or am i missing something here.
Any help would be appreciated.

Update:
Still cant figure out why the FLV file is a white box, but,
If I open the html page directly on the server it plays perfectly.
It seems to fail when opened from a linked page which is one
directory back.
for example I have a list of links on a page.
link one
link two
link three
each of these links target the html page in
Folder1/linkone.html
Folder2/linktwo.html
Folder3/linkthree.html
Each folder has its required flv file and swf file beside the
html file.
If I doubleclick the linkone.html file directly from the
directory, it works fine.
But if I click the link from link one.html the page loads
fine but the movie stays white.

  • Inserted FLV files not playing in a published project.

    The issue: Inserted FLV files display (play) when previewing a project but not in a published project.
    My setup: Windows XP and Captivate 5
    Questions:
       1) When in Filmstrip view only the movie playback bars show, not an image of the actual movie, is this correct?
       2) When I preview a project for the first time, the FLV files display (play) in Preview mode, HOWEVER, any time I preview the project after that, the movies do not play.
       3) When I publish a project, the inserted FLV files do not display (play), they only show the movie playback bars.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Oh yeah, all the files are in the same directory.

  • FLV Files Not Playing

    On our website, championbaptist.com, we want to use FLV
    files. They work great locally, but do not play when uploaded to
    our web host. The actual page that has the video inserted is
    www.championbaptist.com/multimedia_Dec06.htm. I have been told by
    our web host that they support flv files (I created an .htaccess

  • Flash movie not playing in Catalyst

    I'm a novice to FC, but have some website design experience.
    With that said, I'm having a hard time figuring my problem out. I created a interactive tour for the non-profit organization that I work for, everything works perfectly when I preview it in catalyst. However, when I publish it to dreamweaver and import it two things happen when I preview it in a browser. 1. the sound that I have during a mouse over doesn't work. 2. All of my five panels have short 2-3 min. flash movies that will not play.
    If I play the swf in dreamweaver everything works, it's just when I preview it in a browser that it fails. I have tried both the "insert swf" option and the html code. In the html code the sound happens during a mouse over but the videos still won't play. I have tried to look through the flash code but can't find the link to my media. Please, Please help.
    One more note: I have tried to save the movie in both FLV and FL4 format with no luck either way.

    Hi Jim,
    Due to Flash Player security restrictions, you usually can't use the same SWF file both for previewing locally and for uploading to a website.  Basically, the rule of thumb is:
    If you're looking at a file:// URL, you need to use the run-local folder's contents
    If you're looking at an http:// URL, you need to use the deploy-to-web folder's contents
    So, when working locally in Dreamweaver you'll want to use run-local, but then substitute deploy-to-web when you're ready to upload your site to a webserver.  If you want to make sure your substitution worked, you can always upload to a temp "staging" folder on your server and then test it in your browser before going fully live with the content.

  • Movie not Playing on Production Server

    Hello Everyone and thnaks for your help in advance.  I am relatively new to Flash development.  I created my first movie with a poster board.  It appears to work fine on my local machine, however, when I publish it to my production server, the poster board displays, but the click to play button does not play the movie.  The page is located at:
    http://www.katherinemclaughlin.com/katie_golf_poster_board.html
    I'm not really sure what the problem is.  I copied all of the published files directly to the production server.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Flash movie not playing

    After installing the flash player my movie will not play. In
    control panel it shows the program installed. I have gone through
    all the technotes and besides messing around in the registry
    nothing has worked. Why can't I see the movie after flash has
    installed? This happened overnight. I have tried system restore and
    have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    The required flv file below is not available on your web
    server.
    http://www.assumption.edu/news/newshp/current_news/video/042507_dennis_house/Dennis
    House_Med.flv
    It may cause by any of the reason below:
    - You didn't upload the flv file
    - You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
    - Your flv file name is not "Dennis House_Med.flv"
    - Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.
    I suspect your web server doesn't support swf MIME type as
    well,
    because when I access swf below, it shows unexpected text.

  • Rented movie not playing. I have 81Mbps Internet and can stream anything else HD. it's not WiFi either because signal strength is full and I can view anything other than rented movies on apple TV unit. it charges me for renting but doesn't play

    Rented "Gone Girl" on apple tv. It charges me, but will not play for more than 4 seconds at a time. I have exercised every step of apple's troubleshooting and nothing fixes the problem. I have a very strong, steady 81 Mbps Internet connection speed and can stream any other HD through the apple tv except for this rented movie. This is not the first time this has happened either. I just gave apple $6 for free and am currently watching the movie streaming through my cable provider's on demand channel with ease. Oh yeah, and when I seek apple support for the issue, apple wants $2 just to contact someone! Give me my money back please and I will never attempt to use your poor tv service again.

    The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

  • FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

    I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
    Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Nathan

    Nathan,
    Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
    You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
    See if this can be implemented at your end.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • Quicktime.mov not playing back from website

    iWeb 3.0.4
    I downloaded three .MOV to my site. One is playing back ok, the other two are only displaying the QuickTime symbol. I did empty the browser cache, but to no avail. Did check with server and the .MOV files are in the html folder, but not playing back. I also re-uploaded the questionable .MOV files, but it still does not let me open the files on my site. site name : bodoholst.com
    thanks in advance

    All three movies play OK for me.
    The pages are slow to load as this method of adding them to the pages requires the movie file to download with the web page.
    If you are happy to depend on viewers having the QuickTime plugin, this is a better way...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
    So that everyone can see your movies you really need to have flash fallback since there's still a lot of people around who don't have the QT plugin installed...

  • Movie not playing in iTunes

    I have a movie in mp4 format which I have imported from my hard disk into my iTunes library. I am able to stream it to my HDTV through the Apple TV2 but it refuses to play in iTunes. The window comes up but the movie just does not play. Any idea what could be the possible cause? The movie also plays flawlessly in Quicktime and in DVD Player.

    Do you have Quicktime installed?  My iTunes wouldn't play movies until I installed Quicktime.
    Is the movie from iTunes or from another source?  More details would help...although since this post is from so long ago you probably figured it out!

  • Aimersoft ripped movies not playing on ATV2

    I use the program Aimersoft DVD ripper to rip movies to my hard drive then I upload them to my iTunes so they'll play on my ATV2.  Haven't had any problems with this until today.  A movie I just ripped will play on my iMac just fine and will show up on my ATV2 screen but when I press play it won't play.  I've checked all of the settings in iTunes for the movies that play correctly and nothing is different in the one that won't play.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!

    May not help but ocaasionally restarting AppleTV/iTunes can actually fix some hiccups with the device.
    If you have used the software without issue in the past, is it possible you've picked the wrong encoding setting/s this time? Might be worth trying again?
    I have no experience with the software you mention and as others have said we can't discuss such things in detail anyway.

  • HT2488 Automator movie not playing

Also i need to get quicktime player to open full screen once the video file has been selected which again i'm struggling to find a solution for despite scouring the web for days there is no option to set quicktime player to run permenantely on full screen on opening.
    This video is a suprise message from santa for my daughter and i need to get it working before the big day.

  • Movie not playing

    This has happened a few times.  I'll buy a movie and play it no problem, then when I go to play it again I get a pop-up that says it can't play because my computer doesn't have HDCP.   It played just fine before, I didn't change computer or re-purchase the movie.  Then for no reason it will start playing it again only to say the "computer doesn't support HDCP"  thing again down the road.  How can I fix this it's getting rather annoying.  Any help would be apreciated.

    I just ran across this recently and the following link appears to have fixed it for some users before.

    How long is your video? Chances are, it's just taking a long time to download. The automatic conversion from iMovie to iWeb isn't adding the code that allows the video to play WHILE it's downloading. If you instead export as QuickTime and choose the Web format, it's the same settings BUT people will be able to see it as it's downloading. You'll have to build the page by hand, but that's not very difficult using iWeb
