Trying to test Strobe Playback player locally and getting this message:
Playback failed
null
What is your source URL?
my src url is pointing to the video link on a local folder. something like this:
src: “video/example.flv”
the test index.html page is showing the poster image on the playback player but if I click the play button I get the “playback failed null” message. I am testing on a fedora 15 Linux pc using Firfox. Does testing locally require installing Adobe Flash on a local machine and set folder permissions from within Flash to allow the playback?
That error message isn’t very helpful, is it?! I wish they’d give us a bit more to go on. Have you been able to play this same video in another video player, or via a web server? Just want to be sure the video is not corrupt… Permissions shouldn’t be the issue, especially since the thumbnail is working fine…
Thanks for your response. This is still no go for me. I will try to test on a remote web server, different platform (WIN, Mac) and with different player. I’ll let you know the outcome of that. Sorry for being late on commenting on this issue due to the nature of my job which requres a lot of traveling.
