Important IE8 fix to Flowplayer JavaScript component
2009-09-04 13:15:32.0 by tipiirai
Flowplayer 3.1.3 introduced a nasty bug for IE8 which caused it to fail the initialization once the Flowplayer Flash component has been loaded into browser's cache. This is now fixed with flowplayer-3.1.4.js file which you can download here:
http://flowplayer.org/documentation/api/index.html#download1The latest Flashembed version introduced a new cachebusting configuration variable which appends a random query string to the SWF request url. This causes it to be loaded no matter what the expiry headers are on the SWF file - the browsers cache is totally ignored. In flowplayer 3.1.3 this variable was disabled by default. In 3.1.4 this variable is enabled causing it to load properly on IE8. If you want the player to be cached for other browsers you might want to enable the variable like this
$f("container", {src: 'flowplayer-3.1.3.swf', cachebusting: $.browser.msie}, {
// flowplayer configuration
});
So everyone out there. Please use this latest Flowplayer script for the player installation or enable the cachebusting variable. Sorry for this inconvenience!
NOTE: Our Flash developer Anssi is on a vacation for two weeks and our support channel will be quite limited on the Flash player related questions.
