I have a problem with inserting FlowPlayer with RTMP live streaming from the Wowza server.
I tried different combinations with typing url and netConnectionUrl.

Now looks like this:

<a  
href="rtmp://bociany.tv/rtplive" style="display:block;width:520px; height:330px" id="player"> 
</a> 

<script>
flowplayer("player", "flowplayer.commercial-3.2.7.swf", {
	clip: {
		url: 'camera.stream',
		live: true,
		provider: 'influxis'
	},
	plugins: {
		influxis: {
			url: 'flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.3.swf',
			netConnectionUrl: 'rtmp://bociany.tv/rtplive'
		}
	}
});
</script>

Am I doing something wrong? How to solve this problem?
I must done live streaming, FlowPlayer should be able to do it!?

I'm using flowplayer.commercial-3.2.7 version with flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.3 plugin.
Wowza stream works with another players...

Yes, we thought of that too, I was wondering about that stop behavior for some time.
I've already generally tidied up the code slightly, the pastes are from the time when I just desperately wanted to get it to work.

Cheers.

FIXED.

So, the problem was I had no idea that the container element (a or div) could not contain any inner HTML.
I did put a <img> tag there and later a   there cause I wanted the div to appear in it's proper size even before the js kicks in and fills it with the flowplayer instance.

Removing the code from within the container fixed the issue for me.
I'm still not sure if that's a bug or a feature, but now I am a bit smarter.

Thanks gmccomb for your will to help!

The files are where they belong, no interfering JS can be seen in the code.

The embeding code is as simple, as it can get:

 flowplayer(
           "player", 
           "http://tvproart.pl/swf/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.1.swf",
	    "http://tvproart.pl/tvonline/materialy/1247292565.mpeg.flv"
 ); 

Does work but only after the container is clicked. *sigh*.

EDIT: disabled the css for this demo-page as well.
No css, no JS to interfere... js and swf and the video in place.

Still the same stuff. This is my third implementation of flowplayer (at least) and so far it has been working flawlessly for me. This is strange.

I won't waste your and my time on explaining WHY it was there... anyway, please forget that one... as I said, I've tried minimum config as well.

I am still fiddling with the code and here's the current setup which - unfortunately - produces the same (lack of) effect.

And I've even completely removed the splash from both places.

flowplayer(
             "player", 
             "http://tvproart.pl/swf/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.1.swf",
//embedding options
          {
    playlist: [
     
           {
            url: 'http://tvproart.pl/tvonline/materialy/1247292565.mpeg.flv',

            autoPlay: true
     
            }
           ]
        }
      );

<div id="player" style="width: 485px; height: 400px; text-decoration: none; margin: 0 auto 0 auto;"> 
	</div>

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade a working site to get it to work with the latest version of Flowplayer and I get a strange error.

The flowplayer() function does not seem to load the player into the appropriate container until the container itself gets clicked on.

This is really NOT what I want and I have been trying to solve the issue for long hours now. I have also used google, rtfm, searched around this forum a bit... to no avail.

So, here come some code snippets:

flowplayer ("player", 
            "http://tvproart.pl/swf/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.1.swf",
             {clip:     
                { width:485, 
                  height:400,  
                  autoPlay:true, 
                  autoBuffering:true, 
                  scaling:'fit'
                },
             playlist: [
              'http://tvproart.pl/tvonline/splash/1247212657.07.09.jpg',
               'http://tvproart.pl/tvonline/materialy/1247212629.avi.flv'],
             plugins:{ controls:  { 
                             play:true,
                             volume:true,
                             time:true,
                             stop:true,
                             playlist: false,
                             fullscreen:true,
                             scrubber:true }
                      },
             logo:{ url:'http://tvproart.pl/logo/logo1244135624.png',
                    fullscreenOnly:true },
              key:'$aaaaaaaaaaaargh'
           }
         );

 <a id="player" style="width: 485px; height: 400px; display: block; text-decoration: none; margin: 0 auto;">
  <img src="http://tvproart.pl/tvonline/splash/1247212657.07.09.jpg">
  </a>

But I did try the simplest configuration shorthand as well - same.
I've tried disabling all the potentially conflicting JS (including Google Analytics...) and CSS as well. Nothing.

Am I missing something terribly obvious here?
Here's the page where you can take a look at it:http://tvproart.pl/tvonline/obejrzyj2/971/Wydarzenia/2009-07-09
It's the same across systems and browsers (not so sure about IE, but FF linux/win and Safari produce the same behavior).

Any help, pointers and possible workarounds (such as how to trigger the player to work even without finding the real cause of the problem) will be deeply appreciated.
