 Description  « Hide
Uploaded an FLV file to moodle, and have tried linking to it via a webpage and as a resource and have same problem. The media player is shown to download/buffer the file completely, but the file will not play or start playing under any environment or any browser.

I have updated mediaplugins to current CVS again with no luck also.

Hi Lee,

I've downloaded your video from http://yourhost/yourpath/YouConvertIt_5_.flv and I haven't been able to reproduce it within Moodle. But curiously, it plays pretty well with VLC. But Quicktime isn't able to open it, either.

In the other side, I've tested some more flv videos, and everythings seems to work properly within Moodle with them.

So, perhaps, it's a matter of the codecs used in that video? VLC shows "MP43" for video and "ms" for audio. Can you try to generate one alternative .vlc using another codecs? I'm not an expert in those areas but afaik, video within flv files should be, ideally, VP6 or H264, while MP3 uses to be ok as audio.

But I really thing the problem is something related with the codecs of your "problematic" flv file.

Hope this helps... please, tell me if you find something.

Hi again Lee,

I've also updated the flv player in Moodle to the latest available at http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player (that is the flv player used within Moodle). And results continue being the same, I can play any .flv file without problems BUT your file (that only works in VLC).

Ciao
