hi

im getting an error with my uploaded videos when i try to play them with jw player i get error loading media file could not be played and with flow player i get html5: Video file not found

any ideas what the problem is?

thanks

format is mp4

There could be several reasons :

1. You need to add type mp4 in the htaccess (check the full sample htaccess provided in the pack)
2. You have iptables and for some reason it's blocking mp4 (it happened)

My bad, here are the full rules

Code Select Expand

AddType video/mp4             .mp4
AddType video/webm            .webm
AddType video/ogg             .ogv
AddType application/x-mpegurl .m3u8
AddType video/mp2t            .ts

RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php?rp=$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Updated from JwPlayer

Since you are using Apache, you should create a .htaccess file in the same folder that the mp4 files reside in that you are trying to play.

Here is a sample .htaccess file that will add some common MIME TYPEs for you.

Code Select Expand

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  AddType video/ogg .ogv
  AddType video/webm .webm
  AddType video/mp4 .mp4
</IfModule>

This should work, as long as the MP4 files are encoded in H264/AAC.

hmm ok thanks for the reply,

i will give it a go and let you know if i need anymore help,

thanks again mario

[leen12]

ok i edited the .htacess files located in /media and /uploads

also cleared the cache a few times and switched between flow and jw players,

still the same problem

maybe i did it wrong?
this is the way the .htacess files are now

Code Select Expand

RemoveHandler .php .phtml .php3
RemoveType .php .phtml .php3
php_flag engine off
AddType video/mp4             .mp4
AddType video/webm            .webm

Ok, if you did that, try this as well open root/streamer.php and change the line:

Code Select Expand

header("Content-type: video/".str_replace(,"ogv","ogg",$ext)."");

to

Code Select Expand

header("Content-type: video/".str_replace(array(".","ogv"),array("","ogg"),$ext)."");
