Hi guys,I installed the plugin with extension manager and restart Dreamweaver. Everything seems to work perfectly until I preview in browser: do not see anything even a poster frame. In addition, video player, I joined the sliding through behavior connector menu: preview in the browser do not see anything, only a back button.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paolo,
Please make sure you have turned in Dreamweaver Preferences, Code Format the Line break Type to CR LF (Windows)
Then recreate your page again.

I have this same problem 2 years later. The video player appears in design view in DW, but nothing at all appears in either Firefox v20.0.1, IE 8 (using WIN XP Pro SP3 so cannot get IE later than 8), or Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m.
DW was already set for Line break type CR LF (Windows) so this was not my problem.
I have tried everything. The dmx script had originally placed all the script and css tags/links ABOVE the head tag, so I fixed that but still nothing.
I have checked all file references, made sure it was all uploaded, everything is in place where it should be.
I found another thread on these forums and tried putting this in my site's root htaccess file:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv .ogg
AddType video/webm .webm
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
This did not make any difference either.
I have the Miro OGV and WebM conversions configured in the video player and the video files are on the server.
I'm using standard html 5 <!DOCTYPE html>.
I have had no problems at all with an HTML5 JW Player on same server (shared Hostgator apache running linux).
My test page is here:
www.cosmicconsciousnessonline.com/index-DEV2.html
The video should appear at the very top of the page just above the [h1] tags.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Simeon

This change now brings up the player, but the video does not load.
It was sitting sitting there with the pre-loading animation for a bit then started flashing, showing the pre-load animation then not, then shows it again, etc.
I de-selected "autoplay" and "loop" and now what happens is it brings up the poster, but when you click the image to play the video it acts as if there is no video, flashes to black stage then right back to the poster.
This is where it is now at link I posted for test page.
UPDATE:
I just pulled up the videos in my browser to check they were available on the server, which they are.
The webm version will not play, it just skips from beginning to end as if there were no duration yet it reports over 5 minutes of duration as there should be.
I am wondering if the dmx html5 player is for some reason trying to play the webm version in Firefox instead of the mp4 version. I'm not sure why this would be if it is because mp4 should be the video choice for a major browser on a pc.
I have no experience with webm, so I am not sure if this is normal behavior for it in Firefox or not. If not, then perhaps something went wrong with the Miro conversion.

It turns out that Miro was creating defective WebM videos, I switched to a video I created with DVDSoft's free WebM converter and it works now.
However, this means that the dmx html5 video player is choosing to play the WebM version of the video instead of the MP4 version in a browser.
Does anyone know what the logic is behind this design?
UPDATE:
I found the WebM Open Source Project... explains everything and I agree this is a good design feature!

Thanks Vulcho, you probably did not yet see my most recent post when you posted this. I got the video converted OK using DVDVideoSoft's free WebM converter and it works good now!
Thanks,
