Author flv local playback on linux

A request from a client: a flash site with flv videos put on cd-rom,
with index.html, no projector

the project is made in flash 7, so videos are compressed with SPARK

the cd plays well on pc and mac.

I've not tested directly, it says videos don't play locally on linux,
everithing works fine (xml structure, .txt with long filenames etc.)
except for the FLVs that don'tplay

I've wrote my own routines, a simple netconnection for progressive
download in flash 7.

Anybody knows similar issues on linux? The on-line version works fine
on linux. I have no linux machines to debug it.

Thanks in advance

Alfonso Florio

Alfonso,
This issue has plauged me for quite some time.. but what it comes down to i=
s
the standalone linux player has problems loading local files.. it is a
reference bug. If you load the player then load the swf into it then it
should work fine... but if you make a binary it won't work. The standalone
player on linux needs a lot of work. So in short... what you're trying
really won't work like you want...

You could write a shell script that would be something like this:

../gflashplayer yourswf.swf

That should work for xml and other swf files.. and I'd imagine it would wor=
k
for flv's.. but I could be wrong.
