I got the dnn media module to play FLV files.
 
 
I took the "flvplayer.swf" from out of the zip and put it in my desktopmodules/media folder so it could be accessed by this URL, that little piece of flash will play the FLV files.
 
http://yourdomain.com/desktopmodiles/media/flvplayer.swf
 
Next you need to add the following 3 lines of code (with visual studio)
 
To the mediamodule.ascx.vb add the parts in bold:
 
 Private Const RealMediaTag As String = "<OBJECT CLASSID='clsid:CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA' {2} {3}><PARAM NAME='SRC' VALUE='{0}'><PARAM NAME='CONTROLS' VALUE='ImageWindow'><PARAM NAME='CONSOLE' VALUE='one'><PARAM NAME='AUTOSTART' VALUE='true'><EMBED SRC='{0}' {2} {3} NOJAVA=true CONTROLS=ImageWindow CONSOLE=one AUTOSTART=true></OBJECT>"
 
Private Const FlvTag As String = "<embed pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src='http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/DesktopModules/media/flvplayer.swf' {1} {2} {3} type=application/x-shockwave-flash bgcolor='' salign='LT' quality='high' menu='false' loop='false' flashvars='file={0}&showdigits=true&autostart=true&showfsbutton=false'></embed>"
 
Then add the bolded part a little further down....
 
If MediaSrc.LastIndexOf(".swf") > 0 Then
 
HTMLTag = FlashTag
 
ElseIf MediaSrc.LastIndexOf(".flv") > 0 Then
 
HTMLTag = FlvTag
 
 
 
All done editing that file....
 
Now edit "editmedia.ascx.vb" and add FLV to the end of the follow line of code..
 
Private Const MediaFileTypes As String = ",AVI,MPEG,MP3,ASF,ASX,WMA,WMV,WAV,MIDI,QT,MOV,RM,RAM,RPM,FLV"
 
All done editing that file....
 
Now compile...and put the new DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.dll in your bin folder...
 
 
 
Here it is working on my site http://www.bentangle.tv/tabid/732/Default.aspx  
 

Good luck took me about 10 minutes to make the mods....

I am unable to get this to work. The player is loaded and I point it to the flv but the player just sits at 0% spinning. I know this thread is a bit old, but maybe somebody out there has it working and can point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks

The tutorial at the beginning of this thread looks like a great start for you.  Otherwise, I would suggest giving us more details about your specific situation, and do this in a new forum thread.  Some of the information that would be useful are:

  • Server OS
  • DNN Version
  • Media Module Version
  • FLV Version
  • Your Flash Player version
  • Any and all details about what you've done so far in trying to get this to work

Derek,

I believe the right direction is the flash param allowscriptaccess.  Recent changes in FlashPlayer for securtiy reasons now make this param needed.  It should be set to always.  It used to default to always, it no longer does. Bottom Line is the FLVTag need to be updated to draw the flash object correctly to work in newer versions of flash, since I dont use this solution to play flv videos on my site(its strictly for educational purposes) I havnt bothered to update the code on my site to inclued this fix. Good Luck.

Doing it in head it should be something like this:

Private Const FlvTag As String = "<embed pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src='http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/DesktopModules/media/flvplayer.swf' {1} {2} {3} type=application/x-shockwave-flash bgcolor='' salign='LT' quality='high' menu='false' loop='false' allowscriptaccess='always' flashvars='file={0}&showdigits=true&autostart=true&showfsbutton=false'></embed>"
