Sandeep , were you able to use flowplayer for audio files without a mp3 extension. Any workarounds?

Andrew
Works like a charm - I hope this gets into the official audio plugin. Your post was REALLY helpful for a novice like me.

Just another question - although this may be a generic flash setting on my browser - my browser pops a flash error with a "Continue"/"Dismiss All" option when the error happens and after I click either of these options, my onError function gets executed. Is this normal?
The error is below:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at org.flowplayer.view::Launcher/onClipError()
at EventListener/notify()
at org.flowplayer.model::EventDispatcher/_dispatchEvent()
at org.flowplayer.model::EventDispatcherhttp://flowplayer.org/core/internal::doDispatchEvent()

at org.flowplayer.model::ClipEventDispatcher/dispatch()
at org.flowplayer.audio::AudioProvider/onIoError()

For streaming mp3 file, if the file is not found ( HTTP 404 error), flowplayer seems to hang forever. Is there a way to handle this error gracefully . The onError event does not seem to fire. Also once the flowplayer gets into this state, is there a way to reset it without having to reload flowplayer

Hi Andrew
First of all thanks for posting this.
I am facing the same issue ---- at least I think so.
I am using the flowplayer commercial version 3.1.5 as an audio player on our site. I frequently hit a case wherein the player hangs - there is no music, it is not streaming the file and no operation on the player works. The only option is to reload the page.
In the firefox console I see the following error:
Error: uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.].

And if I enable Firebug logs, I could see an Audio Plugin error: unable to load file error #2032

If you have solved this can you please share the plugin. I think the link you posted does not work. It gives me a really small file which I dont think is correct. Also can you tell me if there is a error callback and how to handle the error gracefully
Thanks

Has anybody else seem this? Is there a workaround to resetting the player without reloading the page.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Hi Anssi
Is this available now in flowplayer? I am using flowplayer version 3.1.3 with audio plugin 3.1.2

Hi All
Is there a way I can add data to the HTTP header in the HTTP request sent by flowplayer to retrieve the clip. I was wondering if there is way to modify the js API to achieve this. Or would it require changes in the flash code itself. Such an enhancement would be useful for some more authentication on the server side.
Also does flowplayer support server side authentication like v2
Thanks

On adding alerts to the onBegin event, I see that for each transition to the next/previous song, multiple onBegin events are generated. For eg if five songs ( or the same set of songs played five times) have been played so far, 5 onBegin events are generated when the sixth song is played. But the song that finally plays is the correct song. Is this normal behavior?

Hi All
I am new to flowplayer. With the excellent documentation and examples, I have got it work on my site. The version I am using is 3.1.3 commercial. However, I am facing a problem that I am unable to debug. After I have loaded playlist and started play , everything works fine.
But after playing 8 songs, the flowplayer fails to start playing the 9th song. The song loads completely but playback does not commence.
The same problem is observed if I simply do prev and next 8 times between 2 songs. Any clues on how to debug this would be highly appreciated
Thx
