» » player_api is undefined error in IE 6 and 7

Posted: Apr 20, 2009

Yes this has been verified with both 3.05 and 3.1 with IE 6, 7, and 8 on XP and Vista.

The original thread thread has a more detailed error report and more information. As far as I know this error occurs only in conjunction with playlists, and does not happen when the player is used by itself.

Adding a <form> tag around the page body in the playlist samples (this one for example), will cause this error to occur.

Hope this helps,
Aaron

» IE7/IE8 player_api is undefined error loop

Posted: Apr 20, 2009

As discussed here the error is actually caused by the <form> tag, not the head/html tags as I believed.

Apparently just moving the players container outside of the <form> tag will resolve the issue for the moment.

Here's a link to the other discussion... I incorrectly through that it was the <head> tag that was causing the problem but see that it was actually the <form> tag which causes it.

This error is also occuring in IE8.

IE7/IE8 player_api is undefined error loop

Posted: Apr 17, 2009

Background:

I have also been experiencing this error, and have now confirmed it in flowplayer 3.0.5 and 3.1 in both IE7 and IE8. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (I believe) work as intended. I am using flowplayer with the playlist plugin and believe that this error arises only in conjunction with playlists...

A side note: The 'manual html' sample has a javascript error in IE and does not appear to work with flowplayer 3.1.

Error cause:

After some testing I've found that the error loop only occurs on pages which use valid html. If you look at the playlist sample code the '<head>', '<body>', and '<html>' tags are missing. By adding these tags to the sample the error can be replicated.

Work around:

For the other people experiencing this issue removing the head, body, and html tags seems to stop the error... I'm not sure if I'm going to ignore the error, strip the tags, serve an IE specific page, or dynamically change the html sent to the client if IE is detected, but all are valid work arounds for the moment. Hopefully we can see a fast resolution to this issue.

Hope this helps,
Aaron
