Why does the server not support FLV video playback?

FLV files cannot be played after being uploaded to the server because most of the hosts in China are win2003. the output FLV format is not specified by default. Although it can be seen in FTP, it cannot be accessed through HTTP and thus cannot be played.

[Cause: IIS6 mime verification is enhanced in win2003, and Error 404 is displayed for all unregistered extended file formats. Manually add the mime ing relationship to the HTTP header> mime in IIS. The MIME type is video/X-FLV Extension:. FLV. you can load it in through the Flash 7 + client.]

[Solution: "virtual hosts do not support FLV files". For example, your FLV file name is. FLV, create a name named ". FLV directory. Place your FLV file in this directory and rename it index.htm. In this way, the file name in the player remains unchanged.]

Two solutions:
1. Find the server administrator and add FLV file type output support.
2. Change the extension FLV to SwF for playback.
3. Solve the problem that "virtual hosts do not support FLV files": for example, your FLV file name is. FLV, create a name named ". FLV directory. Place your FLV file in this directory and rename it index.htm. In this case, the file name in the player remains unchanged.

Open IIS manager and select the website attribute, which is the place where you can set the Host header.
There is also a security directory for the HTTP header custom error Service
After seeing this, you should select the HTTP header.
In this way, we can see a MIME type and click the type.
Create a New Type Extension named. FLV type: FLV-application/octet-stream
Then confirm

Process the VCD as a flash video stream FLV file as required by the customer and place it on the webpage. The FLV file is uploaded to the customer's website for calling. This is not supported by the server .... In fact, it is easy to support, but the service provider says it does not support explaining the extension to the customer .... Really dizzy... We can only think about embedding the media of Windows mediaplayer into the webpage for playback, but you have also seen it. It is ugly to put it on the webpage... So I came up with a method. The host does not support FLV. Does it not support SWF? Go to FTP and change the passed FLV extension to SWF... Then, change the FLV media address in the Flash Media Player to the FLV file with the extension SWF, that is, the current false SWF file address. Last put, succeeded. In the original Streaming Media Player, if you set the type to FLA file, no matter what the address file name you give is, it is played in the FLA file mode. With this method, the host does not support FLV files, and you do not have to bother asking the service provider to parse your extension. However, most hosts still support FLV.

FLV file introduction:

FLV video files are actually flash videos, that is, flash videos.
We all know that normal video files, such as ASF and WMV, are played using mediaplayer, and RealPlayer is required for RM.
The problem is that you need to select different players for different formats. for users who do not have the corresponding Player installed on the Local Computer, these videos cannot be watched, and the file capacity is too large, download is slow and viewing is not smooth.
To solve the problem of player and capacity: convert various video files into flash video files. The player has a Flash Player embedded in the browser, which solves the problem of selecting players for other general video files. Of course, this is the advantage of flash. In terms of capacity, flash mx2004 has supported the function of converting to flash video. After relevant settings, the size of the original video can be reduced, and the final file extension to be converted is FLV.
