I'm glad that my post helps you!

I do not see any flash errors popping up in any of my 5 different web browsers. I guess you can see error #1009 as a result of enebled debug mode (or something) in your flash plugin. So I think, the error is really there, but it is not fatal one and most users will never see it without having debug mode of flash plugin enebled. But this is just a guess, I do not state it for certain.

Best regards,
Andrew.

Hi!

Try this link:http://www.iu3.ru/flowplayer.audio-3.1.2.swf
The file is really not big (2868 bytes).

To handle this error I use standard technique described in the Flowplayer docs:

currPlayer = $f( "played_dom_id", {
src: http://yourdomainname/swf/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf",
version: [9, 115],
wmode: 'transparent',
onFail: function() { alert('No flash plugin!'); }
}, {

plugins: {
audio: { url: 'http://yourdomainname/swf/flowplayer.audio-3.1.2.swf' } },

clip: { autoPlay: false },

onError: function( in_code, in_msg ) {
currPlayer.close();
alert("Error code: "+in_code+", error text:"+in_msg);
}

});

In the code above I provide onError callback, which is called in the case of all errors, as well as in the case of audio plugin error, which appears as a result of possible network and server errors during transmition of mp3 file to player.

Pay a special attention to the "currPlayer.close();" in onError callback - it stops all attempts of the player to download the file over possibly broken connection and brings the player back to life (it becomes controllable again).

Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Andrew.

SOLVED!

So, I did it! I uncommented the line

_clip.dispatch(ClipEventType.ERROR, "Unable to load audio file: " + event.text);

than i rebuilt this plugin,
and now i'm getting beautiful and graceful onError callback in the case of missing mp3 (404 and other errors) or network errors during the transfer.

Error code is: "0"
Error text is: "Unable to load audio file: Error #2032"

This is enough for me to detect the failure.

And by the way, comment
//dispatching this error causes crashes in Safari
is not valid any longer (at least to my experience): Safari (ver. 4.0.3, Windows build) produces the same error message with no crashes.

You may download the corrected version of Audio plugin here:
http://beta.iu3.ru/flowplayer.audio-3.1.2.swf
(I do not give much guarantee that this link will live forever ).

I hope the developers will uncomment this line and will supply the corrected version in further releases.

Thanks to everyone who was interested in this topic.
Andrew.

Dear developers,

this is what i've got from the AudioProvider.as ActionScript file:

private function onIoError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
log.error("Unable to load audio file: " + event.text);
//dispatching this error causes crashes in Safari:
//_clip.dispatch(ClipEventType.ERROR, "Unable to load audio file: " + event.text);
}

As it seems to me, the line which should propagate the IO (reading) error to upper level classes is commented because of Safari buggy behaviour? And this is why onError callback of Player object keeps silence? Right?

Is there anything we could do with it?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently facing the audio plugin problems which stops me from using flowplayer at all :(

If the url of audio clip refers to non-existent file (server gives 404 responce), flowplayer does nothing, not reporting errors via onError callback and just waits forever. I expect to receive error code 200: "Stream not found" to correctly process it, but i get just a player doing something inside (or doing nothing inside).

It does not happen to *.flv files. Only to *.mp3.

This error is easy to reproduce:
just change "/demos/plugins/fake_empire.mp3"
to "/demos/plugins/fake_empire_blah_blah.mp3"
in the example: "Flowplayer as a music box" http://static.flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/audio.html) and see what happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew.
