Remote Plugin Load Failure

Posted: Feb 10, 2009

To help support LiveRail you added support for remotely hosted plugins into 3.0.3

One problem I've run into is that if the user can't connect to the domain hosting a plugin (DNS issues or server failure, for example) the player stops loading completely.

If possible, it would be preferable if the player could recover from a failed plugin load and still continue on to try to play the video.

We could have a timeout for plugin loading. So that it the loading takes longer than X seconds it will continue without that specific plugin. Additionally it would continue when a load failure occurs.

This is now scheduled for 3.1.

We have now changed this in version 3.0.6. The player will now discard all plugins that it never manages to load.

Hello Anssi,

I just updated our site to use the newest Flowplayer/Liverail combo, and I'm not sure if this crept back into Flowplayer or if it's something in the new Liverail plugin, but it seems to be happening again.

Running AdBlock Plus with the standard filters will cause the Flowplayer to hang before the control bar, and without loading the playlist. I'm going to contact Liverail directly about the problem, but I thought I'd let you know as well.

Edit: Just noticed that this also happens on the Liverail demo page on the Flowplayer site:http://flowplayer.org/plugins/advertising/liverail.html
