I don't know how many times I've come across this problem and remembered what the issue was, but not the solution.
Scenario: Windows 2003 with IIS6. You have a page with an fla file that plays an flv video, but the video won't show up.
Issue: IIS is missing the correct MIME type for FLV videos.
Solution:
Open IIS Manager on the server:
- Expand the Local Computer Server.
- Right mouse click and choose 'Properties' of the local server
- Select the MIME Types tab.
- Click the 'New' button and enter the following:
Associated Extension box: .FLV
MIME Type box: flv-application/octet-stream - Click Ok and restart IIS.
Update: This same solution can be used if the file you are streaming is an mp4 file. Mime type: video/mpeg
