Does the player show up, but the actual video never does? If so, most likely the "src" value is not correct for some reason. Do a View | Source on the web page and see where it thinks the video should be sitting.

Hi, these ones are tough for an 'answer' per se, but here's some help to debug:

1) Check the source of the video as it's rendered in the page when you view it in the browser
2) Make sure the server folder has the right permissions
3) Use Firebug in FireFox or Developer Tools in IE to see if there are any network problems when trying to access the file

Hope this helps to get you in the right direction.

Cheers.

i check it in firebug it gets the right path of the file and i checked the file permissions also all are correct but the video is not playing.

Check the Event logs (Application) on the server. If nothing there, check the IIS logs, see if you're getting anything but a 200.

So, just to confirm, what happens if you put /admin/messages/IIUI-876-Dasy.wmv into your browser?

GenJerDan 24-Aug-11 16:12pm

OK. That's just weird. You get "500" on the regular pages (an IIS Internal Server Error), but 200/206 on the video file (which is ok).
