Well the issue wasn't that it was a remote or removable drive. It had to do with the FAT32 file system on that drive.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive
I would say that you should use the full path if you are playing locally. There seems to be no problem with relative paths on the web for FLVs, but relative paths for local FLVs seems to be hit and miss. Specifying the full path in all (local) cases wouldn't be a bad thing.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive
What kind of projector is it? Are you using the Adobe projector or a wrapper application? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kent Haynes Sent: Thursday, 7 September 2006 8:21 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive It's not huge 3.9 MB. But we've just discovered some more info. It's definitely related to the FAT32 file system. We formatted two partitions on the drive one NTFS and another FAT32 and sure enough the NTFS plays fine FAT32 doesn't play. So I was looking for weird characters in the path. Nothing out of the ordinary. Path + name = english/flv/Classroom.flv I also tried english\flv\Classroom.flv to no avail. None of our package structures are deep at all. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Santangelo Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 4:06 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive Is your FLV extremely large, or named with a very weird filename?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive
Have you tried shortening the file name to something DOS compatable? ( 8 characters + extension ) i.e. Classrom.flv - Guy At 06:20 PM 06/09/2006, Kent Haynes wrote: It's not huge 3.9 MB.
