Extension talk:FLVPlayer

Installation issue in MediaWiki 1.9
I just attempted to install the FLVPlayer extension into MediaWiki v1.9, and followed the instructions to the letter, but when I add the syntax to a wiki article, the player controls appear but the video itself doesn't appear at all (a white area is all that shows). Clicking the control buttons results in no effect.

The .FLV file was uploaded to the wiki without any problems; I also tried playing a .FLV file from an external server based on the instructions included, and saw no discernible difference.

Has anyone run into this issue before? Does anyone have any suggestions on what might fix this issue? 68.166.139.133 18:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Installation issue in MediaWiki 1.7.1
Exactly the same problem here, with version 1.7.1. Actually, I have not seen any example page where this extension is actually working. 160.45.34.138 16:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Autoplay and loop = false doesn't work
Hi, I'm using FLV Player on my MW 1.9.3 but it always auto play the video and loop it, even if I add autoplay="false" loop="false"

What happen ??? --Iubito 05:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi again, you can see by yourself what happens on my page http://tousauxbalkans.jexiste.fr/Stage_kaval_juin_2007/Video
 * It constent loops and autoplays... :-( --Iubito 13:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

note that the loop and autoplay variables are outside of the config={stuff} container

Blank viewer problem may be related to IIS if you're using it
see here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19439&sliceId=1

You may need to add a mime-type for flv files to IIS before it'll allow them to stream through. worked for me after much struggle w/ the extension itself.
