Solved - mp4 will not play even after reupload

Post by mel »

Originally the mp4 played all the way through
Then it started playing to the 2 minute mark and would stop. (20 minute video)
I re-uploaded in case there were corruption issues.
Now it won't play at all.
Underscores were added to the video name, as well as the short code {flv width="400" height="300"}ap_pt1_hi{/flv}
and was 'reattached' via the Phoca Download Files area
phocadownload folder permissions are 755
the video itself 644

it still won't play, black box and 'spinner' are the only thing that show.

Note: the video below it plays just fine. (mpg)

joomla 1.5.15
php version 5.2.17

any pointers would be appreciated

Hi, sorry, I don't understand what you mean with: {flv width="400" height="300"}ap_pt1_hi{/flv}

Hi, but I don't know any such shortcode and any plugin to work with this shortcode so I think you need to ask the developer of the plugin which runs with such code. :idea:

Hi Jan,
thanks for your response,
Video was re-converted to flv and now plays beautifully. ( i think it was a corruption issue )
