Is a FLV or a movie file playable from an external album folder?

Hi,

I have noted that FLVs and movie files are not playable when they are located in a Zenphoto external album folder (a different directory then Zenphoto installed root directory).

Is there any solutions to make movie files located in an external album playable?

Because of maintenance issues, I would like to have Zenphoto and the album located in separated directories, but in the same server.

Thanks in advance.

    No, sorry. This is also related to the path requirements of the flash players that are third party.

    since i just searched for security solution, and i got this thread.

    i prefer to put albums folder outside from web folder because it is more secure, but flowplayer or flvplayer will not work.

    so, i have to place albums under web root, and rename it a hard guess name, but i found that the actual album name will be exposed when i play video (trace by firebug)

    would you please take a look at menalto gallery2, which could play flash video but no need under web root directory, can we do this in zenphoto?

    thx a lot!
