FLV not playing in Macs
|
|
| Mark Leder 2005-06-21, 7:49 am |
| I've seen a few other sporadic posts in Google about this, but haven't been
able to resolve.
I have a number of flvs being hosted on FCS. Using Proxus FLV player for
the browser. Original DV format was converted to QT, then converted to FLV
using Squeeze 4.1 Pro. 512K rate. All movies play fine in Windows,
regardless of browser. None of the movies play with Mac Firefox or Mac IE
(not sure about Safari yet), The users complain that the black screen just
sits there, with the buffering phrase blinking - it acts like it won't
connect.
These are hi-speed users. I saw something in MM docs about changing
absolute URL writing from "http://mymovie/somefolder/somefile" to
<http://mymovie:somefolder:somefile> http://mymovie:somefolder:somefile.
(using colons instead of forward slashes)
Wondering what other options there are, or if this "solution" from MM
actually works.
BTW: Here's the URL (site is currently under development):
http://www.mypersonalbrilliance.com...ntations/video/
Thanks,
Mark

| Yes, for a Mac, you have to replace the "/" with ":". The only way I've
found around this is to do the code replacement shown below:
var flashOS = flashPlayerVer.split(" ",1);
if (flashOS[0] == "MAC") { //Values should be WIN. MAC, or UNIX
vidToPlay = vidToPlay.split("/").join(":");
}
Hope this helps...

| Using the FCS Player from proxus they embed the video directory statement as
a parameter:
rtmp://vod.mysite.com/myvideoFolder/
How would this be re-written to accommodate the ":".
I'm asking because I have no way to test in a Mac.
Thanks for your help.
Mark
