UPDATE:
This is a MU / Network install setup I am installing it into.
I manually installed WordPress v3.3.2RC1 – the last WordPress version that the BVC ‘officially supports’ and still get the same error.
UPDATE 2:
I have figured out a workaround. DO NOT “Network Activate” it. Instead, go to each site’s plugin page and activate manually.
We just tried installing on a Multisite setup and had similar issue. Since Brightcove focuses on large scale enterprise solutions, it would make sense for them to fix this asap. There’s no way that we’re manually activating this plugin on all 70+ sites. Network activation or nothing.
If we happen to fix this before Brightcove does, I’ll try to post more info.
