Hi, I'm trying to place some windows media video files on a page using ezmedia. They are appearing on the page but there is a problem, when I hit the play button it acts like it will play, the button disables but enables 1 second later... nothing happened it stays black.

Anyone knows what the problem could be?

Thanks.

Hi,

I think I had a similar problem,

try this fix:

It changes the xhtml output of flash and wmv media so it validates and work.

Thanks for your fast answer.. I installed your code but the movie still can't be played. The Windows media player view is there and seems to load something but I checked the link where one of the video files is supposed to be :

[...] content/download/471/2676/15.wmv

And it doesn't seem to be there, here is what i get when I try the full url :

Object is unavailable

The object you requested is not currently available.

Possible reasons for this are:

* The id or name of the object was misspelled, try changing it.
* The object is no longer available on the site.

Was it some missing Apache rewrite rules?
Or weren’t the file properly uploaded?

I think I needed to add new videos with this new code. The old videos which were added before the change don't work but the new ones are working.

Have you tried clearing the cache ?

If your on a live server, limit the amount of cache you clear.
On small live site you can clear all content view cache, on larger (and busy) site you can browse to the nodes in question in the admin interface and click the large icon next to node name, there you can clear content view cache for specific node or subtree.
