There are a few glitches in this alpha version, but it will work. I 
don't think it is your server settings, and you probaby shouldn't change 
the default extension. There are a couple of things that will cause a 
hang at the "loading" screen. One is having extra copies of revWebPlayer 
running and the other is trying to load the plugin in more than one 
browser at a time. I have, however, been able to run multiple copies of 
the plugin in different tabs in the same browser simultaneously.

To fix everything all in one go, quit all browsers that are open and 
check the task manager (or Activity Monitor on Macs) for instances of 
revWebPlayer. Terminate any that are still running. The launch a web 
browser and reload the page. That usually clears it up for me.

I get this behavior when I'm testing in both Safari and Firefox on my 
Mac, and I forget to leave the page in one while trying to start it in 
the other. You don't really need to quit the extra browser, just moving 
to a non-plugin page will work, but if all else fails, just quit and 
restart for now.
