I was working on a project that used streaming Flash video. Tested it locally and the videos streamed fine. Uploaded it to our client directory and they still streamed fine. Uploaded them to the client’s site and…nothing. No video showing up at all. Did some checking, uploaded a test to make sure there was no security issues on the server with loaded content. The SWF would load fine, but not the FLV. A little Googling and I found out that the problem was most likely with the client’s server. It seems that Microsoft Windows 2003 Server will not stream FLV files. The solution is to change the MIME types on the server to include the “flv” extension. A quick call to tech support and viola! Streaming FLVs. Here is a link to a good explanation of the probem. Gotta love Microsoft.
Hi,
Is there any way to enable this mime extension in apache+linux. We tried adding the AddType entry to apache configuration and it was not added.
