Possibility of passing a RSS file name with playFeed("playlist.rss") and setPlaylist("playlist.rss") calls.
changes to the ConnectionProvider and URLResolver APIs
Now automatically uses a plugin that is called 'rtmp' for all clips that have the rtmp-protocol in their URLs.

some style properties like 'backgroundGradient' had no effect in config
video goes tiny on Firefox: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/23226
RSS playlists: The 'type' attribute value 'audio/mp3' in the media:content element caused an error.
Dispatches onMetadata() if a URL resolver changes the clip URL (changes to a different file)
error codes and error message were not being passed properly to onEvent JS listeners

3.1.2 July 29

Changes

The domain of the logo url must the same domain from where the player SWF is loaded from.
Fullscreen can be toggled by doublclicking on the video area.

Fixes:

Player was not initialized correctly when instream playlists were used and the provider used in the instream clips was defined in the common clip.
A separator in the Context Menu made the callbacks in the following menu items out of order. Related forum post
The width and height settings of a logo were ignored if the logo was a SWF file
The volume control and mute/unmute were not working after an instream clip had been played
It is now possible to use RTMP for mp3 files
Issue 12: cuepointMultiplier was undefined in the clip object set to JS event listeners
Issue 14: onBeforeStop was unnecessarily fired when calling setPlaylist() and the player was not playing, additionally onStop was never fired even if onBeforeStop was

Possibility to specify controls configuration in clips
Seek target position is now sent in the onBeforeSeek event

Fixes:

The screen size was initially too small on Firefox (Mac)
Did not persist a zero volume value, related forum post

3.1.0 April 15

Changes:

clip's can have urlResolvers and connectionProviders
Added new configuration options 'connectionCallbacks' and 'streamCallbacks'. Both accept an Array of event names as a value. When these events get fired on the connection or stream object, corresponding Clip events will be fired by the player. This can be used for example when firing custom events from RTMP server apps.
Added new clip event types: 'onConnectionEvent' and 'onStreamEvent' these get fired when the predefined events happen on the connection and stream objects.
Added Security.allowDomain() to allow loaded plugins to script the player
Added addClip(clip, index) to the API, index is optional
Possibility to view videos without metadata, using clip.metaData: false
Now the player's preloader uses the rotating animation instead of a percent text to indicate the progress of loading the player SWF. You can disable the aninamtion by setting buffering: false
calling close() now does not send the onStop event
Clip's custom properties are now present in the root of the clip argument in all clip events that are sent to JS.

Fixes:

The preloader failed to initialize the player when it was gzipped by the web server and running in Firefox
Allow seeking while in buffering state. Related forum post.
Replay of a RTMP stream was failing after the connection had expired
Security error when clicking on the screen if there is an image in the playlist loaded from a foreign domain
loadPlugin() was not working
now fullscreen works with Flash versions older than 9.0.115, in versions that do not support hardware scaling
replaying a RTMP stream with an image in front of the stream in the playlist was not working (video stayed hidden). Happened because the server does not send metadata if replaying the same stream.
the scrubber is disabled if the clip is not seekable in the first frame. Related forum post. By default if the clip has one of following extensions (the typical flash video extensions) it is seekable in the first frame: 'f4b', 'f4p', 'f4v', 'flv'. Added new clip property seekableOnBegin that can be used to override the default.

3.0.6 Feb 25

Changes

added possibility to associate a linkUrl and linkWindow to the canvas
if plugin loading fails because of an IO error, the plugin will be discarded and the player initialization continues

Fixes:

fix for entering fullscreen for Flash versions that don't support the hardware scaled fullscreen-mode
when showing images the duration tracking starts only after the image has been completely loaded: related forum post
fix for verifying license keys for domains that have more than 4 labels in them

3.0.4 Feb 3

The "play" pseudo-plugin now supports fadeIn(), fadeOut(), showPlugin(), hidePlugin() and additionally you can configure it like this:

- // disable the play button and the buffering animation
  play: null
- // disable the buffering animation
  buffering: null
Added possibility to seek when in the buffering state: related forum post

a label configured for the play button overlay did not work in the commercial version

3.0.3 Jan 7

fixed cuepoint firing: Does not skip cuepoints any more
Plugins can now be loaded from a different domain to the flowplayer.swf
Specifying a clip to play by just using the 'clip' node in the configuration was not working, a playlist definition was required. This is now fixed.
Fixed: A playlist with different providers caused the onMetadata event to fire events with metadata from the previous clip in the playlist. Occurred when moving in the playlist with next() and prev()
the opacity setting now works with the logo
fadeOut() call to the "screen" plugin was sending the listenerId and pluginName arguments in wrong order
stop(), pause(), resume(), close() no longer return the flowplayer object to JS
changing the size of the screen in a onFullscreen listener now always works, there was a bug that caused this to fail occasionally
fixed using arbitrary SWFs as plugins
the API method setPlaylist() no longer starts playing if autoPlay: true, neither it starts buffering if autoBuffering: true
the API method play() now accepts an array of clip objects as an argument, the playlist is replaced with the specified clips and playback starts from the 1st clip

the player's framerate was increased to 24 FPS, makes all animations smoother
setting play: null now works again
pressing the "play again" button does not open a linkUrl associated with a clip
now displays a live feed even when the RTMP server does not send any metadata and the onStart method is not therefore dispatched
added onMetaData clip event
fixed 'orig' scaling: the player went to 'fit' scaling after coming back from fullscreen. This is now fixed and the original dimensions are preserved in non-fullscreen mode.
cuepoint times are now given in milliseconds, the firing precision is 100 ms. All cuepoint times are rounded to the nearest 100 ms value (for example 1120 rounds to 1100)
backgroundGradient was drawn over the background image in the canvas and in the content and controlbar plugins. Now it's drawn below the image.
added cuepointMultiplier property to clips. This can be used to multiply the time values read from cuepoint metadata embedded into video files.
setPlaylist() now starts the playlist according to the autoPlay and autoBuffering settings

3.0.1 Dec 5

Fixed negative cuepoints from common clip. Now these are properly propagated to the clips in playlist.
buffering animation is now the same size as the play button overlay
commercial version now supports license keys that allows the use of subdomains
error messages are now automatically hidden after a 4 second delay. They are also hidden when a new clips starts playing (when onBeforeBegin is fired)
added possibility to disable the buffering animation like so: buffering: false
pressing the play button overlay does not open a linkUrl associated with a clip
license key verification failed if a port number was used in the URL (like in this url: http://mydomain.com:8080/video.html)
added audio support, clip has a new "image" property
workaround for missing "NetStream.Play.Start" notfication that was happending with Red5. Because of this issue the video was not shown.
commercial version has the possibility to change the zIndex of the logo

3.0.0 Nov 25

Removed security errors that happened when loading images from foreign domains (domains other than the domain of the core SWF). Using a backgroundImage on canvas, in the content plugin, and for the controls is also possible to be loaded from a foreign domain - BUT backgroundRepeat cannot be used for foreign images.
Now allows the embedding HTML to script the player even if the player is loaded from another domain.
Added a 'live' property to Clips, used for live streams.
A player embedded to a foreign domain now loads images, css files and other resources from the domain where the palyer SWF was loaded from. This is to generate shorter embed-codes.
Added linkUrl and linkWindow properties to the logo, in commercial version you can set these to point to a linked page. The linked page gets opened when the logo is clicked. Possible values for linkWindow:
- "_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
- "_blank" specifies a new window.
- "_parent" specifies the parent of the current frame.
- "_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.
Added linkUrl and linkWindow properties to clips. The linked page is opened when the video are is clicked and the corresponding clip has a linkUrl specified.
Made the play button overlay and the "Play again" button slightly bigger.

RC4 Nov 20

Now shows a "Play again" button at the end of the video/playlist
Commercial version shows a Flowplayer logo if invalidKey was supplied, but the otherwise the player works
setting play: null in configuration will disable the play button overlay
setting opacity for "play" also sets it for the buffering animation
Fixed firing of cuepoints too early. Cuepoint firing is now based on stream time and does not rely on timers
added onXMPData event listener
Should not stop playback too early before the clip is really completed
The START event is now delayed so that the metadata is available when the event is fired, METADATA event was removed, new event BEGIN that is dispatched when the playback has been successfully started. Metadata is not normally available when BEGIN is fired.

RC3 Nov 11

stopBuffering() now dispatches the onStop event first if the player is playing/paused/buffering at the time of calling it
fixed detection of images based on file extensions
fixed some issues with having images in the playlist
made it possible to autoBuffer next video while showing an image (image without a duration)

The Flowplayer API was not fully initialized when onLoad was invoked on Flash plugins
tweaking logo placement
"play" did not show up after repeated pause/resume
player now loads the controlbar using the latest version number in the swf name, for example "flowplayer.controls-3.1.5.swf". Version number is used in the URL to load the controls if the player SWF has a version number in it's name. If version number is not used in the player's SWF the controls are loaded without version info using "flowplayer.controls.swf"
fixed support for RTMP stream groups
Preloader was broken on IE: When the player SWF was found in browser's cache it did not initialize properly
Context menu now correctly handles menu items that are configured by their string labels only (not using json objects)
fixed custom logo positioning (was moved to the left edge of screen in fullscreen)
"play" now always follows the position and size of the screen
video was stretched below the controls in fullscreen when autoHide: 'never'
logo now takes 6.5% of the screen height, width is scaled so that the aspect ratio is preserved. logo only uses percentage scaling if it's a SWF file (there is ".swf" in it's url)

all Flash plugins can be configured with callback functions and these functions can be triggered from Flash (like onMouseOver event on content plugin). Since 3.0.6 these callback functions accept unlimited amount of arguments. These arguments may be on interest to streaming plugins that may fire events such as onConnectFailed etc. This is a bit advanced topic an should not interest "normal" users.

3.0.5 Feb 03, 2009
