All that I see when I submit a node is ![video].... no video

Posted October 31st, 2007 by admin

This issue is caused when your FlashVideo modules weight is not set to what it should be. This is really easy to fix. First, you will need a program like phpMyAdmin so that you can view your Drupal Database and all the tables. Once you have your Drupal database open, you can then click on the System table. Once this table is open, try and find under the filename the entry that says modules/flashvideo/flashvideo.module. Once you open this entry, change the weight entry to be 11 or 12. Hit save, and then try your site again. You should then see that the [video] tag is replaced with the actual video... if not, then look at some of the other troubleshooting entries.

Hello,

i installed FFmpeg and the Flashplayer module and also the player in the root directory etc. Uploaded videos are being converted properly, I can download them and watch them as *.flv offline on my player. But in Drupal there is only [video] visible if the node is not opened. When I open it there is a blank page. The flashplayer is not working. I tried the Troubleshouting but it doesnt work for me. The convertion works but i cant see the video in nodes.

Thanks for Help

i still see [video] even though i do not have the [video] tag disabled. i checked in phpmyadmin and the weight was set to 11. i tried 12 and still no go.

Probably cached page

I ran into the same situation. Go into administer, Site Configuration, Performance and click on "Clear Cached Data" down at the bottom. Started working fine for me after that (using Drupal 6.3). I found you need to clear the cache (even if it is disabled) every time you update the FlashVideo settings, or it tends to use the old ones.

also

i tried adding:

<?php
 print flashvideo_get_video($node); 
?>

to my page, with the input format as php, and it works fine. is there something going on with the input formats making it not parse [video]? i'm using the defaults settings drupal comes with.
