  see only bufferring message with flv files

  I am trying to play a .flv video in a content page but it only shows to the stage where you see a "bufferring" message even when I try with a flv filesize of under 100KB.
  Can someone help explain the problem?
  ALSO:
  In a post http://www.atutor.ca/view/7/11232/1.html Greg says that flv files should work no differently than swf files
  and elsewhere at http://www.atutor.ca/view/7/9628/1.html gives the procedure
  BUT apparently for flv files we have to not just upload the file itself (as with swf files) but also add in javascript files and html code
  Or is there something I am missing?
  
  In passing, can you also let me know where the php.ini file is (though it is not relvant because my test file size is extremely small..under 100KB)
  thanks for your help!
  
  Things to describe:
  operating system - linux
  version of ATutor -1.5.5
  versions of php -4+
  version of mysq l -4+
  webserver & version -apache

  Re: see only bufferring message with .flv files.

  The javascript won't import. ATutor strips away the information before and after the HTML body elements. This will likely change in a future version.
  
  The other option is to upload all your files into the File Manager, then provide a link to the flv file.
  
  Size won't be a problem. I suggest using you system's find/search tool to find the php.ini file. It is probably in /usr/local/lib/.
