Oh dear oh dear …

It would appear this morning easynet is have some major issues reporting a major network outage on their status page: http://support.uk.easynet.net/support_status.aspx

Looks to me like a piece of downed routing equipment, for me at least any traffic routing via 67.17.198.202 black holes and the connection dies horribly.

Some bad routing setup there …

67.17.198.202 is listed as being in Georgia Atlanta (33.7271 -84.5785) (source: http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_ip).

When trying to access some .co.uk domains on known UK geo IP’s, I am getting routed via a dead US link …. nice …

Well, I wouldn’t want a boring easy friday now would I?

Whilst I wait for a reply here: http://community.flowplayer.org/node/1051

I am making version 0.1 of this plugin available.

Installation

• Unzip wpfp
• Upload to /wp-content/plugins/

Usage

• Make a new directory in the root of wordpress called “videos”
• Upload streaming media (.flv, .mp4) to /videos/
• In the wordpress panel (/wp-admin/) under plugins activate “Flowplayer for Wordpress”
• Write a post and add the tag (see example: here) *

* Where “media.flv” is your video file, 600 and 450 are the width and height to make the flash player in the page.
