getting FLV Embed to work

  • I am having some issues trying to get FLV files to display and play on my wordpress blog. I have installed and activated the plugin, but I am still confused on how to get it to work.
    The way that I have been trying to get it to work is that I use the add video uploader and it uploads the flv file, but then when I insert it into a post, it doesn’t work. I am not sure how to use the tags either. It says to use something like this:
    [flv:url width height]
    But I’ve tried that and it still doesn’t work.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • First make sure that your flv’s are actually making it to your server. Sometimes the file size can exceed your maximum upload limits. If that is the case, uploading your converted flv’s via ftp is probably the quickest solution.

    See usage on this page. https://www.channel-ai.com/blog/plugins/flv-embed/

    Quick example: If you placed an flv named “mymovie.flv” in a directory named “video” in the root of your blog, to insert it in a post, you would use this:

    [flv:/video/mymovie.flv 340 220]

    That would place the movie “mymovie.flv” in your post, in a size of 340 x 220.

    Thank you. This make more sense to me for some reason. I will test this out.

    Technically there is no way to use the upload function when inserting an flv into a post that I am creating. I was always under the impression that using the “insert video” button would do the trick, but I must have missed something.
