Need a better embedded .flv player

[MrMaxwell]

The one I'm using (jw) won't let you jump to another part of the video until the preceeding portion is loaded.. Anyone know of a better one??

FlowPlayer?

[edgeprod]

FlowPlayer?

That'd be my vote.

That has nothing to do with the player, it has to do with the server setup. Ask your host to install lighttpd and it will work.

[MrMaxwell]

It's a linux server

I suspected that, actually, but have no idea of how to fix it

It's not the player...its the way you're delivering content to the player.

[MrMaxwell]

How do I fix it?

[MrMaxwell]

Is there a way to just make it serve videos better without completely changing to a new o/s?? It's shared

[redwhiteandblue]

You're serving video from a shared server?

[MrMaxwell]

Yes..........

[MrMaxwell]

Well, no, it's a shared hosting plan
I'm not over here leasing half of a box and serving video
Well it's sort of the same but it's shared hosting

[xJerk]

You need to set up lighttpd, nginx or apache with mod_flv_streaming and mod_h264_streaming (if you're going to use mp4s).

Oh and why are you serving videos on shared hosting?

[symtab]

What xjerk said :-)

OK...try this in your JW Player settings under "Streaming".

Add this "http" in there and see if it streams.

It will auto detect to see if the server has a streaming service for FLV or MP4.

My guess is that your shared server doesn't have anything set up for streaming services.

it's not the player - it's the way you stream video...

Okay.. I tried that and my video disappeared...

It's a linux apache server but apparently I don't have access to configure apache.... (I can't see the conf file or the directory for apache at all) but my host does have a lot of the module things installed (not sure which one.. but the mod_flv module would apparently be helpful?)

Is there something I can do to .htaccess or some kind of a thing??
