CMS Made Simple Forums

Using CMSMS 1.6.6 and Play 1.0.3

I installed it correctly, and I get this message:

ffmpeg is not responding. You will not be able to convert multimedia files nor to create thumbnail pictures from videos.

I uploaded a .flv video anyway as looking back over some of these topics you dont need ffmpeg to make it work, and when the video is inserted nothing comes up.

When viewing source it doesnt show up in the HTML... any ideas? Cheers!

Having the same problem and after searching the forums so are others.  Not one of them has received a response though.

Anyone?

It doesn't solve this player's problem... but I did find AVPlayer and I like it a lot better anyway.

Thanks

I also having the same problem with Play-Module.

Now Im using AVPlayer with Neolao flv-player - but this player wont get displayed in IE6 & 7

Which player do you use nosyguy?

It's working for me : I need to add twice my domain adress before {$location} on line 48 and 49 in "methods.defaultplayers.php"

I did it with "Flowplayer".
It is available here: http://flowplayer.org/
My sample is here:

Flowplayer is well documented. But I can send my configuration too.

Flowplayer is good, but not so great if your clients don't want to have to do any HTML editing.

I fixed the issue in the end by moving the site to a new server... it was on a Windows server which was causing loads of issues, the new Unix server fixed most of these.

I too am having a bit of an issue with getting the player to work.  I'm using Xampp 1.7.3 on Win7.

I've tried the hack described above to tweak the location of the video file, but that is not working for me.  It does look like it needs tweaking though, as this is the relevant part of the source code for the page where the video should display:

As you can see there is a backslash in the location of the video.  I believe this is stopping things from working, as if I copy this location into my browser bar it cannot find the video.  If I tweak it manually so that all are forward slashes I can get the video to play.  No amount of changing the methods.defaultplayers.php file can get rid of that backslash (well no amount of tweaking by me ).

EDIT: not sure the manual tweaking is working, as if I just give the path to the file in the browser bar it plays in exactly the same way.  Not having seen how its meant to play, I'm not sure its working correctly.  Will start and look at the other modules that can be used just in case Play cannot be made to work.

I've got Flowplayer working, so its not a major issue.  Would be nice to know why Play does not work though.  For some future projects it could be useful.
