Hi

I would like to create a page to play some embedded flv file on my site...

I tried the following code on my windows server and it worked fine

Code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
        codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="480" height="360">
<param name="flashvars" value="file=FILE.flv&image=FILE.JPG" />
<param name="movie" value="mediaplayer.swf" />
<embed src="FILE.flv" width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="file=FILE.flv&image=FILE.JPG" />
</object>



On Linux i only can see a empty box and unable to see the player or play the flv file

How can i play a flv embedded file on Linux server

Thank you
Dany

Personally I would use flowplayer. It's an awesome player that performs well, plus an awesome open source project too, with easy setup and great documentation, community and support forums. There are detailed installation and setup instructions here. Even if you don't have the leeway to use it with this particular server, it'll give you a start toward using other players.
