Saw the other recent thread about player issue. Just noticed player had stopped, not sure when.

Used the net trick to find the problem. Returning a 403 forbidden error. If I use a standard joomla .htaccess, player works. With custom .htaccess, it does not.

What is not clear is why. File extensions .swf, .mp3, and directory is plugins. All normally allowed within .htaccess maker. Messed around with some exceptions, but as getting 403 versus 404 error, thinking it may be something else. Full file below:

http://site_name.com/plugins/content/media_player.swf?
son=http://www.site.com.mp3&autoplay=0&autoreplay=0&showtime=1

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

Hi!

Please allow me to start with a few "is it plugged in" kind of checks. Go to Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker, expand the "Server Protection" slider and add the following to the "Allow direct access to these files":
plugins/content/media_player.swf
that is, the path to the SWF file in the URL which throws a 403, without the http://site_name.com prefix and/or everything after the question mark.

If this doesn't work, please send me a Personal Message with the URL to your site, Super Administrator username/password and -if possible- FTP connection information so that I can take a look. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
