Sometimes plays, other times black box...

Posted: Nov 20, 2009

Hello, I just got the commercial version for flowplayer and am using it on my website. I've been using the free version without problems. The commercial version seems to sometimes play and sometimes not. I'll check it before I go to bed and then wake up and it won't play, just a black box. I click it a few times and then it will play again. I've used it with both firefox and safari and same in both. This is what the code looks like on my front page:

<!-- player container-->
<p>video file is here</p>
<!-- this script block will install Flowplayer inside the previous A tag -->
<p><script language="JavaScript">

flowplayer("player", "/storage/flowplayer/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf", {
// product key from your account
clip: { autoPlay: false, autoBuffering: true}, key: '#$d9fa0090b62bf849203'
});
</script></p>

I use square space and inserted it using their "raw" html editing mode. The code was originally copied from the flowplayer website and then inserted in here. Like I said, sometimes I get a black box and sometimes it will play. I'm assuming I can use the commercial version multiple times on my website? I use the key code each time. Thoughts?

Yeah, I just redid it a couple days later with one of the scripts found on the website. Whenever I have a problem with the flowplayer I will create a test page on my website that is blank and start from scratch using only the player code. This is what I used to start that:

<!-- flowplayer scripts should be loaded from your servers NOT from static.flowplayer.org -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script>

<!-- player container-->
href=http://flowplayer.org/video/flowplayer-700.flv"
style="display:block;width:500px;height:324px;"
id="player">


<!-- this script block will install Flowplayer inside the previous A tag -->
<script language="JavaScript">

flowplayer("player", "/swf/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf", {
// product key from your account
key: '$c6e9311935842bee951'
});
</script>

</body>

I found that I might not have been including the section that has the .js file. Either way though, I'd try starting fresh with this on a test page and once you get it going, copy and paste it into the section you need on your real page. Hope that helps.

We did use the method:


<script language="JavaScript">flowplayer("player", "flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf",
{
key: '#$4556d27490ec0ca684b',
contextMenu: ['computix GmbH Videoplayer'],
clip: {
url: "n300_web.f4v",
autoPlay: true
}
});
</script>

Which doesn't work.

After reviewing some suggestions from user EDGE I saw that he suggests a different start of the javascript:


$f("player", {src: "flash//flowplayer-3.1.5.swf", cachebusting: true}, ...

I did change this to $f instead of flowplayer and also the cachebusting parameter and currently it does work at least here with IE8 and Vista. I have to test it today at the office with XP and IE8.

Will let you know later if it works.

Thank you.

Unfortunately the problem is still there with XP and IE8.0.

It looks like it happens now not everytime, but at least in about 10 % of the case.

The issue is being looked into. But future reference please don't post the same thing in multiple locations.
