With the v4.x player, you shouldn't need to change the extension to flv.
If you don't know the subversion and release of your player or it doesn't display on right-click, consider upgrading to the latest v4.0.46 which shows the version.subversion.release.
The SWF movie alone is available from: *http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/player.swf* or from the Subversion repository at: *http://code.longtailvideo.com/trac/*
I am running version 5 of the player and I cannot get .mp4 to work. It would really help if there were examples posted on the site. All I get is sound - no video.
OK, that seems to show that it can work - but how do I see the HTML behind it? I was hoping for something I can actually copy as a basis for my own case.
Something must be wrong with the encoding of this file, as I am looking through Firebug, when it tries to request the file, it gets stuck at 413.9 KB and then never finishes loading.
Note, I just went to – http://reelsource.ru/_t/source.mp4 directly in my browser and I see a bunch of garbled text. This is because your server most likely doesn’t have the MIME-TYPE set for MP4 files yet. Going to the file in a browser directly should pop the QT Player, not show garbled text.
@Ethan LongTail Indeed, the whole problem was in nginx. He is not handled correctly file mp4. http://reelsource.ru/_t/index.htm - Now everything is working correctly.
Actually, i've tried in a player in my webpage, it didn't work, so i've tried with the link provided (the player testing page), and when i set the file property, it didn't work either. I've choosen the RTMP streaming FLV.
I don't know where is the problem. Could you help me ?
@Mel, you need to set the provide to rtmp, the file to just the flv, and the streamer to the location of your streaming server.
Here is a url with your stream working – http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/testing/?player=v5&skin=&file=videotest.flv&provider=rtmp&streamer=rtmp%3A%2F%2Fcdntech.fcod.llnwd.net%2Fa464%2Fo2%2Fguerlain%2F&height=260&width=500
