*.flv Movies won´t play by restricted Access

Hi,

i installed as an upgrade from Pre Release to RC1 (Santa Fe), and now i have a Problem: i uploaded some *.flv Movies which should be seen only by a Special Group.

So lets say i have a Group called "Family"

now i have an Album Called "Daughter"
this Album Contain 3 Subfolders:

"Pictures", "Movies" and "Pictures made by Daughter"

when i give Access to "Everybody" for the Folder "Movies" the Movies are playing, as soon as i Restrict the Access only to "Family" the movies want play anymore then i found a Phenomenon: the movies i started with Access to everybody will play also after i restricted the Access only to family.

The same happens if i move the Folder to the Main folder and it doesent make a Difference if i create the folder directly in the Main Folder.

oh, and if i try it with IE 8 i get this Error:

Any Sugggestions or Solutions?

Kind Regards

Hi,

i upgraded to the latest release... RC2

now it wont play anyhow it doesent matter how the Permission are set and i didnt get an Error either.

So what can i do?

Thanks for Helpfull answers

Kind Regards Chris

Somehow I think it is related to my large FLV issue. See my post for details.
How big is your *.flv files? what is the memory_limit in your php.ini?

Ok, so,

the Memory is set up to 512M and the biggest file is about 128M the smallest is 1M it doesent matter which one i start it wont play.

i upgraded to the newest Code. but it still wont play, all what i see is a big white nothing, no Error Message no Movie:

so my idea is to use a different player like flowplayer but my Programming Level is far far beyond to implement the flowplayer... is there a package i can use?
Or a step by step instruction made for idi... eh Beginners?

Kind Regards Chris

try this version:

Chris,

For what it is worth, I don't think this is a Flowplayer or G3 issue. I now think it is at the PHP or Apache level so I wouldn't go to the effort of trying to implement a custom player in your G3 install.

Hi,

sorry for late Answer, was a little Bussy, i tried it, but won´t work.

it looks like before

<?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.");

so, suggestions anyone?

ok,

i updated to latest experimental version but still want play. Could it have something do do with the rights for the Album folder? I deleted the (Album) Folder and uploaded all movie Files again but still want play.

Maybe i wait for the Final Version and reinstall the Gallery from the Scratch

Kind Regards

Chris
