Hi all

Having built my first embedded video player (using streaming .flv files) I’m delighted that it works perfectly on my local machine.

However, as soon as I upload the self same files to my server, nothing happens - ie no video to view.

All paths are relative with no local machine references.

I have searched the forums but couldn’t find an answer.

Any ideas anyone? Any help appreciated as ever.
