Flash Player Won't Work and Video Transcoding

I setup Subsonic this morning around 5:30, played a song on my phone (Android), and went to bed. I woke up, started playing some music on my laptop (streaming from the desktop, where I installed Subsonic), then saw a Lifehacker article saying video could be streamed. I followed the tutorials I found (original here and the update is here.) and now Flash player doesn't work, nor does adding to a playlist in any fashion. It just says "Get Flash player."

This same result occurs in Chrome 8.0.552.515 and Firefox 3.6.8 (I'm running Win 7, the desktop is running Fedora 12). I installed an external Flash player to augment the one built into Chrome, and no luck.


The video files I would be running are .mkv and I was following the guides to transcode to .flv, if that matters (I'm sure it does).

One final thing: Is it possible to stream video to the Android app? If so, how? Haha.

Thanks for the help in advance.

This thread has the guide for setting up video under 4.1, but the player behavior is inconsistent. It sometimes takes several browser refreshes to get it to play.

There is no way (yet) to play video in the Android app.
