This is a brand new install on RHEL6 with FFMPEG and ImageMagick. I've uploaded several MP4 and 3GP videos. MP4 plays, the 3GP videos just show a link allowing me to download the file. I have installed movie_tools and checked all the boxes. No errors in the http error_log. /etc/mime.types looks OK.

Any ideas or suggestions??

Hi Sean,

Unfortunately, 3GP videos aren't viewable by Flowplayer 3. In the movie tools settings, only "Gallery's defaults" and "Supported by Flowplayer 3" are viewable. You may consider transcoding them before upload...

Take care,
Shad

@shad they should be supported
3GP, an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 12 (a.k.a. MPEG-4/JPEG2000 ISO Base Media file format), similar to MP4. It uses .3gp and .3g2 extensions. These files also store non-MPEG-4 data (H.263, AMR, TX3G).

I'm confused. Movie Tools allows me to enable 3gp, and I get thumbnails. Can I use a different player???
