Hi,

I have been trying to get the "video" content type to play a movie from an external url using the flowplayer without luck.

We encode our own video and place them on a CDN enabled storage network. We use H.264 and all our video files ends on .mp4 for full compatibility on other devices.

I then enter the full URL in the embed field. However, when I do this it tries to use the audio player for playback.

Any ideas on how we can get this to work?
