It's XOT.

Can I try hitting your piece?

Sorry, is this XOT or desktop?

If desktop, have you tried a component for the .flv

I tried your unescape suggestion, and the FLV metadata injector suggested elsewhere. Sadly, neither seems to do the job :-(

You could probably type (unescape(FileLocation + 'media/file.flv')) since it gets expressioned.

That might in fact mean you could do all sorts of interesting things...

Someone on FlashCoders seemed to have the same issue and had to use unescape(path) in code.
Since you are using Toolkits, best if you could remove any spaces or odd characters from the apth and see if that solves it.

Sadly, I can't provide a link for you. It's on our test server which is restricted to on-campus access only.

The presentation was made by one of our test users. She's used a media > video page with the video file path being FileLocation + 'media/Beth Pearce staff induction.flv'

I can see that there are spaces in the file name. Could this be causing the problem?

The magnifying glass appears on the control bar of the working version.
Don't recognize that either.

Subject: [Xerte] Video problem in IE8 with .flv
Hi,

I've got an intermittent error with .flv files not loading in Xerte in IE 8.

This screenshot shows how the page should look with the video loaded correctly (XerteVideoNoError.png):

<XerteVideoNoError.png>

This screenshot shows the error (XerteVideoError.png):

<XerteVideoError.png>

As you can see the video fails to load and those three graphics appear instead. However, if you navigate through to the next page, then return to the video page, the video will load. Also, this does not happen every time in IE 8.

I've not seen this error in other browsers. The video is a short introduction, a few minutes at most.

Has anybody seen this bug, or similar, before?

Are there any solutions/workarounds?

Thanks

Barry
