Topic: Flash Video Player

Can this widget be used to play internet TV? Are there any online TV stations streaming in .flv format?
Thanks

Re: Flash Video Player

I am trying to use the Flash Video Player widget on a virtual chumby (from the chumby.com site).  Regardless of the URL entered in the widget's config, the widget plays the movie trailer that is apparently hardcoded.  Can anyone suggest why it won't play my .flv?

Re: Flash Video Player

I have now tried additional .flv files and none work..is this widget working for others?  Is the source available?

Re: Flash Video Player

This is a third-party widget, not one of ours.

Re: Flash Video Player

Is there perhaps another widget which will play an .flv file?

Re: Flash Video Player

I think all of our current video widgets are tied to specific services, so we're not really free to publish the source for them.  I'll see if we can whack out a simple widget that's *not* tied to something.

However, there's nothing special about video widgets for chumby - any "how to" for Flash Video you might find using Google or the dozens of Flash books out there would have the required information.

It works perfectly fine for me.
