I have videos hosted on a site, they're .mov format and they've being served with flash video player plugin for Wordpress. The videos take forever to start playing, they download completely before they start playing and sometimes that could be 5-15 minutes. I've tried modifying the settings for the player and WP but nothing seems to be working. I think maybe there's a PHP or Apache setting to help with this? Do you have any suggestions to troubleshoot this or fix it altogether? Is it the video format I'm using? (.mov). Here's one of the smaller videos as a sample if you want to check it out. http://preview.tinyurl.com/mddh9f
Specific plugin you're using please. There's a couple hundred of those. At least a link to the one you;re using. Also what specific browser and version of Adobe Flash please. edit: A specific link to the example as well. Tinyurl is blocked as a sex/porn site. Making the folks who you;re asking for help from jump through hoops isn't really a good idea.
Sorry about that... the plugin is named that specifically. Here's the link to it. http:// wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flash-video-player/ And sorry about the tinyurl. I thought it'd be better than linking directly, but the sample video post is here: mirthcorp.com/archives/3248 Oh yeah, and this seems to happen in any OS/browser combo. I tried it on Windows XP and OSX with FF, Opera an IE, and chrome in Windows as well. I'm pretty sure its a server side fix not a client side...
