You may have trouble serving FLV files using IIS. By default FLV is not included as one of the the MIME types and thus IIS doesn’t serve the file.
To fix this you need to do the following:
- Go to the site in question in the IIS snap-in
- Right click and open the properties for the site
- Go to the HTTP Headers tab
- At the bottom of said tab is a ‘MIME Types’ button which you’ll be wanting to click at this stage
- Add a new type with the file extension .flv and the MIME type of video/x-flv.
- Press however many ‘Yes’, ‘Apply’, ‘Finish’ or ‘OK’ buttons you need to get rid of it all…
