Howdy,
So, I think the topic says it all. I have had this website for several years, and have never seen this problem before. It seems to have cropped up in the past few months.
Not sure if it's caused by an update to the flash player or what.
Also, I don't know if connection speed can set this off either. It seems to happen more often when I am at a slower connection, or if others in the office are streaming a lot of video from others sites, etc.
Would that matter? Shouldn't the flvplayback compnent buffer accordingly?
When the component fails to auto play, I can clearly see that the video IS loading. It will load the entire video into memory, but will not play - even if I hit the play button. The only way to get it to play is to refresh the page with the browser. After I refresh the page, and the video has been patially or fully loaded, it will play fine. But, if I clear my browser cache and start fresh, I get the same problem.
And again, this only happens SOMETIMES. Other times with a cleared cache and a fast connection, the video will autoplay with no problem what so ever.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.
Hey there. No, I never found a solution for this. The only time I see this happen is on a slow or temporarily slow connection. If the user simply hits refresh, then the video will play.
It's pretty annoying, but honestly at this point my site is pretty outdated with AS 2.0.
I plan on doing a major overhaul in the next few months, so it will no longer be a problem. If anyone comes up with any ideas I would still be interested to hear them.
Thanks
