Link Problem

Hi,

I had a problem with FF displaying flv videos while IE worked fine. FF would load the player and when clicked to play the loading icon would spin for a few seconds then stop and when clicked again it would just continually spin until the pause button was clicked to stop it, never actually playing the video. I found that the hot link protection was enabled on the server and that FF ignored the list of acceptable sites, mine, and would not play the videos while IE did honor the list. Disabled it and it works fine in both.
Also had an issue with FF not loading the player on particluar pages even after the hot link protection problem was solved. All the flvs file names are requested and pulled out of a database and the form name that I used when the viewer is searching for a particluar flv was "location". Bad, very bad it seems as it did funny things to the google ads in both browsers but flvs played fine in IE but the player would not load in FF on these particluar pages. Changed the name of the form and FF loads the player and works perfectly as well as solving the google ad problem of not displaying the correct content. Obviously a conflick in using the word "location" as a form name.


Thanks
