Hello,

Streaming an F4V file from wowza 1.7.2, to flowplayer 3.1.3 flash 10,0,32,18, flowplayer loads and plays the audio but no video is shown, just the gradient. flv files play ok.

Did any1 manage to stream F4V to flowplayer with the latest flash??

On a side note, I had to set metadata=false otherwise, we would get an error:
Property height not found on Boolean and there is no default value.

If any1 can offer some insight, it would be great!

Hi,

We have found a bug with the commercial version of Flowplayer, version 3.1.1. If you configure the context menu with a list of items such as the following:

contextMenu: [
                
    "Media on Demand",
    '-',
    { "Link1" : function() { location.href = "http://flowplayer.org/"; } },
    { "Link2" : function() { location.href = "http://www.mediaondemand.net/"; } },
    { "Link3" : function() { location.href = "http://www.google.com/ncr"; } }
]

...then if you right-click on Flowplayer and choose...

Link1: Nothing happens
Link2: The action for Link1 happens
Link3: The action for Link2 happens

This only seems to happen after a separator. If you remove the separator, the menu items behave as expected.

Thanks.

It seems that Flowplayer *does* attempt to reconnect so long as the user still has a connection to the streaming server - eg. if a live stream is disrupted between the publisher/source and server as opposed to between the user and the server.

But if the user's connection to the server is disrupted, eg. if your wireless connection drops out, or if you unplug your network cable, then Flowplayer seems to get stuck in a "buffering" state - for both live and on demand streams - and never recovers.

The workaround seems to be handling the buffering events in Javascript, and having your own timeout so that if a stream buffers for too long, it assumes the connection is broken, and gets Flowplayer to reconnect.

When playing a windows media stream using windows media player, and you disconnect the network cable, it will notify that it is trying to reconnect, and when you replug the network cable, the stream continues.

Hello,

Is there a way to make Flowplayer reconnect to the server on connection loss? e.g. connect to a live stream, unplug your internet cable, replug your internet cable, flowplayer doesn't reconnect automagically.

Tried handling the OnError event with javascript, but no errors are given on connection loss.

Any suggestions on how I would go about doing this??

Thanks.
