Brian,
This is exactly what I ran into and have run into with a couple of the other Flash based coffee cup apps.
Our server uses the Helm control panel and you have to add the .FLV file type for the vidoe to show up.
I think it is Newsflash or Form Builder that uses a file with a .settings extension. I had a time with that one figuring out to add the .seetings as a new mime file type.
Glad you were able to get it to work.

Brian,
That's great you found the issue. But how am I suppose to configure this when my website is being hosted by a provider. And I know they are using 2003 server. Do I have to let them know about this in order for this to work. I have windows xp pro and do I have to do something on my computer IIS to configure this. Or this is done only on 2003 web server.

I would contact your hosting company and ask them about it and tell them what the issue is. The change needs to happen on the Web server itself and nothing on your PC will help.

This may be a crazy idea, but in your situation (where making the fix is out of your control), I wonder if you could just rename the .flv to known extension and update the .xml file (from .flv to say, .avi). I know this doesn't actually convert the video to .avi, but the server might allow it to play if Flash knows how to handle it being misnamed. Just a thought. Of course, I'd check with the provider first so you wouldn't have to rig it like this.

If you hosting service is using the 2003 web server then there should be a control panel web based app for you to access to set things up.
I would definitely contact my hosting provider.

Will this work on a Unix host? I see the skin, but no video.

Hey David, I ran across these tips for Unix:
"Is your web server a linux or unix server? In that case, the filename of the video is case sensitive. It is also a good rule to not use space and other exciting letters in the filename."
Other than that, I have no idea if Unix shares the .flv extension problem. http://www.flashstrap.com

Thank you Adam, Ipowerweb.com is the host, and I believe it is a Unix server. I spoke with them today, and their 2nd teir support claims their host can handle .flv files.
It works locally on my pc (winXPpro). I am pleading for all coffeecup GURUS to help me out here. This web video is just what my website needs...only it needs to work!
so far:
I have uploaded all files to the myvideoplayer_files directory (which contains - bd.jpg, ff.jpg, pl.jpg, play.jpg, rr.jpg AND mikeroll.flv).

Are you using an FTP app that lets you browse what's stored on the server? I ask because I'm trying to load the jpg files directly, and I get "404 Not Found" even on those. For the videos I've uploaded, I could always load the jpg skins by typing the full path to them and .FLVs ask to be opened or saved (ex. http://www.mysite.com/myvideo_files/play.jpg). I guess my question is are you "sure" they're in the myvideoplayer folder? I know your .swf & .xml are working.
