I have been waiting on some type of answer for sometime now, as you see. I'd really like to achieve this functionality, but I can't find any way to do it from the documentation. I'd love a developer to help on this one - even to say it is not possible at the moment.

Playing video but not playing audio:

I had this exact problem, but it is fixed by explicitly referencing the audio player plugin. You can see the solution from a friendly user called PaulOgilvie here:

This solved the problem for me - I was banging my head against this for ages!

Thanks Paul,

That was exactly it. I now have it all working perfectly on my friend's drum lessons page.

This was bugging me for ages!

Thanks for answering Paul. I believe you solved my issue in another answer you gave me just now...

I appreciate your help, but I am still somewhat discouraged by the lack of response from the developers... it makes me think twice about buying a commercial license.

Again developers, I don't want to complain, but I would just like to know if there is SOME way we can know that bug reports have been read and maybe even put in plan for fixing. This one is an annoying one for me, but after 10 days, I don't even know if the developers have read the post.

Thanks for your time.

I did something similar here (site is in Hebrew, but should be clear what is happening from the code) using playlist.js, scrollable, and flowplayer:

Only difference is that the description of the first media file shows on page load.

Hello developers,

How do we know if a bug has been entered into some development schedule?

I can confirm that the latest flowplayer plays well with IE8, but not with IE6.

I am using playlist.js and the audio plugin to create HTML playlists for mp3s.

Actually, some pages have mp3 playlists, some have video playlists.

On the pages with mp3 only playlists, I still want to use the full size player, but show an image in the place the video would normally be.

The example documentation shows how to do this for playlists that DON't require playlist.js - how can I do this using playlist.js???

thanks.

I have a playlist controlling media (audio or video, depending on the page) in an single instance of flowplayer. Aside from the title anchors for each media file, I have another block of divs with description texts for each media resource.

When I click on any item in the playlist, I want to both (1) launch that file in flowplayer, and (2) scroll to the description div for that file in my scrollable parent div.

As I have it at the moment, as soon as I tell scrollable to use the playlist as its navigator, it overrides the media file links, thus preventing flowplayer from successfully launching the file.

Here is my js for scrollable:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {         
    $("div.scrollable").scrollable({vertical:true, size: 1, navi:'div.clips'});   
}); 
</script>

and for flowplayer:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() { 
    $f("player", "assets/flash/flowplayer.swf", { 
    }).playlist("div.clips", {loop:true});     
});
</script>

and here is my HTML:

<div id="textBlock2">
     <div class="clips right">
        <a href="[*mediaPlayer1*]" title="[*mediaPlayer1Title*]"><span class="trackNo">1. </span>[*mediaPlayer1Title*]</a>
        <a href="[*mediaPlayer2*]" title="[*mediaPlayer2Title*]"><span class="trackNo">2. </span>[*mediaPlayer2Title*]</a>
<a href="[*mediaPlayer3*]" title="[*mediaPlayer3Title*]"><span class="trackNo">3. </span>[*mediaPlayer3Title*]</a>
<a href="[*mediaPlayer4*]" title="[*mediaPlayer4Title*]"><span class="trackNo">4. </span>[*mediaPlayer4Title*]</a>
<a href="[*mediaPlayer5*]" title="[*mediaPlayer5Title*]"><span class="trackNo">5. </span>[*mediaPlayer5Title*]</a>
<a href="[*mediaPlayer6*]" title="[*mediaPlayer6Title*]"><span class="trackNo">6. </span>[*mediaPlayer6Title*]</a>
<a href="[*mediaPlayer7*]" title="[*mediaPlayer7Title*]"><span class="trackNo">7. </span>[*mediaPlayer7Title*]</a>
<a href="[*mediaPlayer8*]" title="[*mediaPlayer8Title*]"><span class="trackNo">8. </span>[*mediaPlayer8Title*]</a>
     </div>
     <a class="video left" id="player"><img src="mp3Face.png" /></a>

   <div class="scrollable left">
     <div class="items">
        <div>[*mediaPlayer1Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer2Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer3Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer4Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer5Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer6Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer7Text*]</div>
        <div>[*mediaPlayer8Text*]</div>
     </div>
   </div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div><!--end textBlock2-->

Does anyone know how I can achieve this functionality - trigger both a scrollable div and flowplayer with a single click?

The full description is here:

confirmed.

this bug only occurs when audio files and video files are mixed. I changed all my test files to audio files, and the manual config works fine.

Developers: are you aware of this problem, and can it be added to a bug fix list? is there are public tracker or somewhere to officially submit bugs?

Ok, I caught the 2nd error with a screenshot. Immediately after the Error #1009 i outlined above, I get this:

"202, the provider specified in this clip is not loaded, Provider 'audio', clip:'[Clip] 'assets/files/airplane.mp3'"

Then, not consistently, but many times, the browser launches its default media player in a new window and plays the file (that is the path to the file, above there in the error) correctly.

I set up a page using the playlist plugin with a mixture of flv and mp3 files. Everything is working fine when I do the default method method described here:
http://flowplayer.org/plugins/javascript/playlist.html

but then, I adjust the javascript and HTML to do the "manual configuration" and the player gives me errors for the mp3 files in this config - flv is working though.

Specifically, I get this error when it tries to play an audio file via manual config of playlist:

"300:Player initialization failed:Type error: Error #1009"

Sometimes, but not always, another error follows but it is so quick that I cannot read it.

Again, to make it clear - using method 1 of playlist.js config as described on the flowplayer page linked to above does not return this error, only method 2 (manual config).

Of course, I have the audio plugin installed - it is working fine in method 1 above, and on other pages that are not using the playlist plugin.

is there a known issue, and/or can anyone else reproduce this behavior(mp3 playback returning errors when doing manual config of playlist.js)?

Thanks.
