IIS - Server Issue - Flash not showing or Flv not showing or other media not showing.
If you have an issue with certain media not showing on a web site, it may be because IIS needs to be informed of the type of file.
Test: If you can download the site to a local machine, disconnect it from the Internet and still view the videos without issue, this proves that the files are being either: 1) blocked by a firewall 2) a proxy issue - if it's a proxy issue add the details to the web config 3) Because IIS does not know about the File Types/
