Hmm. I see this error when in Wordpress from the debug player:
Warning: Not a known player download type, http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/360/image.php?did=74ff9aba3781068f55ba6d106f1a9e8b Which usually appears when you mime types are wrong etc. There is definitely a difference in your WP and non WP environment in how the file is being delivered back to the page: On WP the request is: http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/360/image.php?did=74ff9aba3781068f55ba6d106f1a9e8b *Content-Type: **text/html* ** *(it delivers back an HTML page !)* On non-WP test page the request is: http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/360/image.php?did=15864f188edfbfb6f549c559422832dd&size=m&showSWF=true Content-Disposition: application/x-shockwave-flash; filename=40a092971604bee647be9fd0a764c778_15864f188edfbfb6f549c559422832dd_m.swf Content-Type: application/x-shockwave (it delivers the correct swf back) So it seems like the showSWF=true param is not being passed correctly. Looking at the source for the WP page, there is a bit of weirdness going on with the embedding ( I have stripped out code not to do with the objects): <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="600" height="400" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0";><embedtype="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="400"></embed></object> <object type="text/html" data=" http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/360/image.php?did=15864f188edfbfb6f549c559422832dd&size=m"; height="400" width="600"></object> <object height="250" width="400" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"; classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"> <param value="#FFFFFF" name="bgcolor" /> <param value="transparent" name="wmode" /> <param value="false" name="menu" /> <param value=" http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/360/image.php?did=74ff9aba3781068f55ba6d106f1a9e8b"; name="src" /> <embed height="250" width="400" src=" http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/360/image.php?did=74ff9aba3781068f55ba6d106f1a9e8b"; menu="false" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> </object> You can see we have 3 objects defined (some with nested embeds), some with no src definitions, different dimensions etc. *None of them pass the required* *showSWF=true to actually deliver a swf back to the page*.
