Hmm, not sure what can be wrong there - on the site, the path is correct - but try to remove bac characters from teh mp3 file name (remove empty spaces from filename, this can be problem on servers) - try to test to play some mp3 file which will not include spaces in the name.

Hello Jan!

Thank you for the support!
I have uploaded another mp3 file with a simple file-name but it is still not playing... Please help!

Jan,
I have contacted my hosting provider, HostGator, and the guy said that the music is playing on FIreFox and there is no restrictions on the server
What is wrong with my Phoca Download?

Here is the support transcript from HostGator:

(8:55 am) Houston B. I'll be more than happy to check on this for you Daniel. Please allow me a few minutes to do this.
(8:56 am) Daniel Goosen: Thank you Houston!
(8:57 am) Houston B. You're welcome.
(9:00 am) Houston B. It seems that the music player is working, I was able to click on the Play button and music started playing.
(9:02 am) Daniel Goosen: That is funny, because I am trying now and still it is not playing. Also a support representative from Phoca Download could also not play the music file. Therefore I believe it must be some kind of server restriction because why can you play the music but we cannot? My internet connection is fast enough to play music online.
(9:04 am) Houston B. I apologize but I'm not able to tell you this, both songs are playing for me with no issues here. It looks like everything is working. I'd advise trying with another browser or from another location.
(9:05 am) Daniel Goosen: I tried with IE9 and Google Chrome. The other guy that is having the same problem is form Czech Republic, and I am from South Africa. So the location won`t change a thing. What browser are you using?
(9:06 am) Houston B. I'm using FireFox here.
(9:07 am) Daniel Goosen: Could you be so kind and please try it with another browser form your location please?
(9:07 am) Daniel Goosen: *from
(9:09 am) Houston B. One moment please.
(9:09 am) Daniel Goosen: thank you
(9:10 am) Houston B. I'm trying Chromium but it doesn't seem to be working at this time.
(9:11 am) Daniel Goosen: I see, so the problem is Browser related... So you are sure there is no restriction on the server?
(9:12 am) Houston B. Yes, there are no restrictions that would allow it to work on one browser and not another, that would be an issue with your script.
(9:13 am) Daniel Goosen: Thank you so much! Have a nice day!

Hmm, really no idea what can be wrong there, I have recheck it, the path is correct on the server, no error there

Only idea:
open:
components\com_phocadownload\views\play\view.html.php

line cca:
33
change from:

Code: Select all

$filePath	= str_replace ( '../', JURI::base(true).'/', $filePath['orig_rel_ds']);

to:

Code: Select all

$filePath	= str_replace ( '../', JURI::base(false).'', $filePath['orig_rel_ds']);

Then the file get full link, but not sure if this is the problem, as the file on the server is accessible per standard link

Hi Jan!

Thank you for helping me, but unfortunately the fix it is not working...
If you want, I can give you full access to my Joomla and/or server if needed.
I have re-installed PhocaDownload to see if it would fix the problem, but it did not work...

I used Phoca Download. Does downloading files (including FLV). Playing videos from Youtube works correctly.
Play video from my domain does not ("No file found for playing") (although downloading that file works).
I tried a set Phoca.flv (from phoca.cz):
{phocadownload fileplaylink view = | id = 23 | = playerwidth 328 | playerheight = 200 | playerheightmp3 = 30} -> "No file found for playing"
phocadownload {view = file | id = 23 | target = s} -> OK
