Hi, can you give a little more detail, or better yet is the site accessible to look at?

Without knowing more, this is just a wild shot. The z-index (CSS property) maybe set so the youtube background is over flow player. The CSS for YouTube Background has it's z-index set to -1, so it shouldn't be a problem, but try setting the z-index for flow player to 999, and see what happens.

Also Youtube Background uses swfobject, and their may be a conflicting name/id that it has defined that flow player also depends on.

Did you create the flowplayer free package, or is that from the market? They are definitely "stomping" on each other. It doesn't look like flowplayer is outputting the correct markup for the player to find the video to play. Did you have this working before adding the youtube background?

Flow player was working fine before i installed Youtube background.
I used the Flowplayer from concrete5 addon page. all the pages, that had flowplayer videos, stopped working all at once. videos that are uploaded using file manager seems to work fine, but files that are connected using video URL links are missing.

And the files that are referenced from URLs use a generic anchor tag (<a>) that FlowPlayer and YouTube Background both attach events too, and there is a conflict. (more to it than that, just summing it up).

I realize this is the easy way out, but could you drop the Youtube background? It is a pretty intense page, two large Flash video players loading and streaming.

I'm sorry it came to that. I'll have more time tonight to look into in depth. Definitely a way to make it work, just some little thing getting in the way.

I got this working. I used the YouTube Background add-on still, but manually added Flowplayer, making sure both didn't conflict with each other. When I get home tonight, I can send you the snippet to fix yours.
