This error appears (for me at least) on all the flowplayer demos, e.g.http://flowplayer.org/demos/installation/index.html etc.

I am seeing a strange error on Firefox 7, not sure if it's a Flowplayer bug or Firefox bug. Flowplayer is trying to load a "canvas" file and "controls" file (the latter it tries to load repeatedly, over and over) from the same directory as the web page I'm viewing.

The error appears in flowplayer where the video should be playing, and also shows up on the firebug console:

[ERROR] 200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip] 'http://www.example.org/path/canvas''
[ERROR] 200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip] 'http://www.example.org/path/controls''

Looks like this wasn't fixed in Flowplayer 3.2.1 or jQuery Tools 1.2.1

Patch available here:http://github.com/mfb/jquerytools/commit/b93ac8bc7154153faeee799320c23b0a627287cc

flowplayer-3.2.0.min.js getHTML() generates incorrect HTML (there is an extra quotation mark):

id="'+o.id+'""

should be

id="'+o.id+'"

Looking at the js source,

			var html = '<object width="' + opts.width + 
				'" height="' + opts.height + 
				'" id="' + opts.id + '"' + 
				'" name="' + opts.id + '"';

should be

			var html = '<object width="' + opts.width + 
				'" height="' + opts.height + 
				'" id="' + opts.id + 
				'" name="' + opts.id + '"';

I noticed this problem on my site when I tried to use flowplayer with MP3 files, thought I screwed something up but it's "good" to see the issue on flowplayer.org too...

Hrm I have over 7000 videos and so far I have not been keeping track of their aspect ratios, although sounds like I'll have to start doing so :/

Yes that's what I mean. why does it not fade out? it is only half there, depending on the exact sizing of the video in the player, or even if it's all readable it's still pretty distracting, especially now with the added copyright notice. Do I have to fork flowplayer just to fade it out?

With scaling set to "fit" and a 4:3 video playing in a 16:9 container, the "flowplayer" link that is part of the play button is still visible, and even worse it is only half visible, such that there is an odd "flow" next to the video while it is playing. I haven't figured out any way to make this text disappear (in the free version).
