I think it has to do something with the fact that your folders are named simple-flash-video-v1 in the plugins folder. Try to name the new one to just simple-flash-video and see if that takes care of things.

Sorry, I ended up altering that page by accident when I was playing.

Here’s a page with the 1.8 plugin installed
http://test.curbsyde.com/test/?p=790

The code that post has is :

vid_image=http://floralloyd.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/AIO/nan/to-kathern/774266988_7wkoy-M.jpg /]

And it just doesn’t work. The links are good, and if I switch to plugin 1.7 it works well.

There must be something I have thats conflicting. My theme is modularity from Graph Paper Press

Cheers

What are the issues? That seems to be working fine, granted not with my plugin.

Hi Josh,

This plugin is exactly what we’re looking for! I want to use it on our site to host our own videos instead of embedding an external player @ http://www.curbsyde.com

I’ve uploaded the plugin to a test WP site using the same theme, and am having a few issues with the shadowbox. Can be seen here

Any ideas?

Cheers
Joe

This was the same problem I was having. Couldnt find anything wrong with my theme. I ended up installing another plugin which utilizes shadowbox, and SFV piggybacks off that, and now renders the videos properly. the stats however, still doesnt work

Usually this is because the HEAD call is not made in your template or the WP plugin url did not get detected correctly. Can you please link to your blog where you are having this issue?

The reason it is not working is most likely your AVI does not have the proper format. It needs to be an h264 format which is sometimes called AVC to work. The Audio should be AAC and I suggest an MP4 container. Once you do this it should work fine with any file size as long as you have quick start enable when compressing. Please note that the longer the file, the longer it will take to start if you are not using a streaming server but that depends on your server speed and the vieweres internet connection speed.

Is there a max clip size for the SFV? Can’t get it to work with my 231 MB AVI. Using WP 2.9.1 and PHP V5 on a 1&1 Server.

My mistake.
New tab wasn’t created.
But a video doesn’t play in current page with blackbox.
Video link brings me to the new page and plays in there.

wordpress 2.9.1
SFV 1.8

I’m having same issue here.
It does play the video but without shadowbox.
New web browser tab is created and a video runs in the new tab when I click a video url.
Though, I’m not using ShadowboxJS plugin.
