Thread: Issue in IE with new flash player

  1. #1

    Default Issue in IE with new flash player

    This bug is in the version released May 22, but this is more related to the flash player used in the new version of vshare.

    In Internet Explorer, sometimes the flash player is all white NO VIDEO -- on the site and when embedded elsewhere. It would display only once, after browsing a few pages, returning the player didn't load.

    It appears that the new version (vshare 2.1)uses jeroenwijering's FLV player -- which has an issue with IE.

    In Firefox, it's all okay.

    See this problem discussed here.

    This problem does not happen with the flash player used in the pre-May 22 version.

    There was a quick fix discussed here....

    my player.inc now looks like this:

    <?php

    $vshare_player = <<<EOT

    <script type="text/javascript" src="{$config["baseurl"]}/player/swfobject.js"></script>

    <p id="player">Get Flash to see this player.</p>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject('{$config["baseurl"]}/player/player.swf','player','425','350','7');
    so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
    so.addVariable("file","{$config["baseurl"]}/flvideo/$vid.flv");
    so.addVariable("image","{$config["baseurl"]}/thumb/$vid.jpg");
    so.addVariable("logo","{$config["baseurl"]}/templates/images/watermark.gif");
    so.addVariable("link","{$config["watermark_url"]}");
    so.addVariable("linktarget","_blank");
    setTimeout("so.write('player');",3)
    </script>

    EOT;

    ?>

    The change was:

    setTimeout("so.write('player');",3)
    At least the white blank player appears LESS often.

    Prince,

    I tried that fix but it doesn't work always.
    So, we still need a better fix or a different flashplayer....


    Too many people still use IE out there....

    temporarily, you can use the flash player from the pre-May 22 release

    just copy the /player folder and the /include/player.inc file from the previous version. the flash player previous version has a link to vshare when rightclicked.

    this is not the fix we want (going back to the old flash player), but this is better than having site visitors see white blank video player when using IE.
