[Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] Users can't view videos anymore

Alex:

OK, so the problem is probably with my .htaccess file.

WordPress is installed in the /worship folder. This is the .htaccess file in the root of the server (the folder above /worship):

Redirect /index.html http://churchonhigherground.org/worship
AddType flv-application/octet-stream .flv
AddType video/x-flv .flv

Here’s the .htaccess file in /worship:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /worship/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

These are the only 2 htaccess files between the server root & those video files. I have to admit I don’t know anything about .htaccess files except that they have something to do with security & mapping the virtual path to a file to the physical path. They appear to be using regular expresessions to do the URL path transformation.

If there is nothing wrong with the .htaccess file, then I have to assume there’s something wrong with the files themselves. The file permissions for all of the videos are set to 755.

Thanks

I don’t think the problem is with the .htaccess file. This is for 2 reasons: first, I posted in the Multisite forum about this issue & I replaced the contents of the .htaccess file with new contents & the problem is still there. Secondly, I have 3 videos that play; one is in the same exact folder as the video you used as an example in one of your replies.

I downloaded the same video (10-0411-01.flv) to my macbook using FileZilla & set up a post on my dev site for the same video. The video plays I think that means that the video is not corrupted.

Also, another plugin, the NexGen plugin, isn’t displaying my images in that. I think the problems could be related.

So what could be causing my problem???

Thanks
