CFMULTIMEDIA not working

[snovak70]

I just installed ColdFusion9 Enterprise and was playing with some of the new features. I cannot get CFMULTIMEDIA to work and am wondering if anyone can hlep. I tried the solution in another discussion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2107303#2107303) but it did not work. I have tried several different variations and they all get a Connection Error (Conn Err). I have the .flv file in the same folder as the calling page. I have tried the following and none of them work:

<cfmediaplayer name="videoPlayer" source="/videos/HadleyGlenValley.flv">

<cfmediaplayer name="videoPlayer" source="HadleyGlenValley.flv">

I have enven tried the full path on the drive on the server and get the same results

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Any info is greatly appreicated!!!

I didn't test it yet but in your case you will need to check if there is a mapping to the CFIDE in order to use these tags.

The path to the .flv file should be an absolute path from webroot. For example,

<cfmediaplayer name="mp" source="/media/flv/sample.flv">

I do have CFIDE mapped as I have been trying some of the other new tags with CF9 and they are working. Any other ideas?

Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried removing the name attribute and still not working. I have tried the .flv file from the web root as well as relative to the directory (it is residing in the same directory).

They ALL get "Conn Error". Any other ideas?

Thank you,

What happens if you browse to http://[your domain here]/videos/HadleyGlenValley.flv using your web browser?  Or http://[your domain here][URL path to CFM template here]/HadleyGlenValley.flv?

Does this happen with any FLV file, or just that one?

Thanks for the great response. I have figured out what the problem was. It was a MIME TYPE setting in IIS 6.0. This was a new server installation and I forgot to make this setting on the new server.

For anyone else who has this problem serving up .flv files via ColdFusion, you need to go into IIS and right-click on the web site and go to Properties. Then click on the HTTP Headers tab and then click the "MIME Types" button. You need to add a New mime type. Enter "flv" for the Extension and "video/x-flv" for the MIME type.

We are running CF9 on this server and I did use the Web Server Configuration Tool and I do see that CF did add .air for an accepted MIME Type. Perhaps Adobe should also have it automatically add .flv as well? If nothing else, this should be included in the documentation for CFMULTIMEDIA.

Tell them about it!
