FLV not playing
Hope you can help
We have had some video shot professionally by a film crew and the files supplied in quicktime mov format.
I have edited and converted to flv files.
In Flash, I have created a swf which loads the flv files in and plays them.
Locally this works perfectly however it is not working on the web server. I have checked and the files are working perfectly locally and are in the correct place on the server.
We have changed the mime type settings to fix this and still it is not playing and I am confused as to why?

FYI - I have a site with a .MOV file I converted to a .FLV with a .SWF using Video MX Pro. It worked fine on my development machine, but I could not see the video once I loaded it on my Windows 2003 server. I am using the Progressive Download approach to eliminate the cost/need for a streaming server. Once I applied the fix from the 2nd link above (adding the MIME type to the Site - under HTTP headers) it worked fine. Thanks.
Glad to hear that... :)

I suggest if you can provide online link so that I can replicate the issue to get into the root of the problem
