We can replace it with JW Player at no cost.
This is the same player that displays on our demo site.

It's suggested with any player to use only "FLV" videos as clipshare script overall is not prepared to handle other than FLV videos, regarding of the player used. Always user can change only file extension from MP4 to FLV.
No matter if file extension changed or script prepared for mp4, none player will play mp4 properly if MOOV atom not moved to the beginning of the mp4 file before upload. From other hand it doesn't concern x264/h264 google videos...
It's pretty messed up and is suggested to learn such things before using non-standard files. It's not so difficult, just some experience.
Personally in 80% my videos are of mp4 format, I do not even change file extension to FLV, but that's because of the player I use.

Yes, this is a well documented issue in the streaming community.

Our application uses MP4Box to resolve this.

Here's a sample MP4 on our demo site:

So consider to rename file extension to FLV for videos offered for upload.
Mostly it should work with any player.
Only for lighttpd streaming use (x264 especially) it is suggested to keep original file extension.

That's not necessary since we have addressed the root of the problem, which is the location of the MOOV atom.
I've never tested a normal MP4 (i.e. MOOV atom in the default location) renamed to FLV.
My guess is that this file would not stream properly.

We've installed our application on a few sites that have your player installed (Nuevo).
I believe that your player handles MP4 files correctly, though I can't recall with exact certainty.

Yeah, player will play mp4, but that's not a problem I wrote about.
It's about clipshare script that doesn't handle other than FLV video extensions.
If you look at player (default) playlist file - script takes video id and adds ".flv" extension.
So if this is "mp4" - video won't be played (wrong path)
From other hand - dozen of other operations (thumbs change, getting duration, video file remove and few more) are proccessed in same way: script takes vid ID and ads ".flv" extension. All will fail if this is mp4.
That's what I wrote about - script is not prepared to handle other than "FLV" videos.

Yes, you are correct that ".flv" is hardcoded in several places throughout the script.
We have resolved this.

Our application also converts to DivX, which requires DivX Web Player for playback.
The same issue applies to these files; the default code needs to be edited in several files & templates.
Logic also needs to be implemented to display the proper player.

I have the nuevo player on my site. Will this program enable me to upload videos to my site with hd quality? I want to try the demo today, I filled out the form for the demo on my phone last night, but have it IP locked so I requested again today.
How much is the program? How much is it to have our own logo on the program?

Looks interesting, can't wait to try it!

Also, how do I know if I have PHPShield Loaders? What is required to be done to my script for this program to work? I want to be able to test more before I buy. How come there is absolutely no refund available?

Is anyone using this? I want to read reviews.

Yes, MP4 & DivX video files are supported.

That correlates directly to the features selected on the order page.

No charge.

We will forward a test script that you can run.

It's relatively complicated to explain.
Basically, ClipShare must be edited to support interaction with the desktop application.
This includes user authentication & media upload.
Also, ClipShare does not support the display of file types other than FLV by default.

Have you downloaded & ran the demo?

This is normal procedure for most digital products.
Please insure that the application functions exactly the way you wish before purchasing.

Yes, but we are not at liberty to post client URLs due to privacy concerns.

I have ran the demo. Can you send me the test script in a PM or something so that I know before I purchase? If I don't have the PHPShield Loaders, how complicated is it to install on a CentOS server? Is this something that gets done on purchase? Do I have to edit the CS script or do you make the changes for us?

Thanks,

Zain
