IE9 freeze when I try to play a mp3 file in flash mode (Projekktor Core)

by Djo, Tuesday, August 07, 2012, 14:43 (316 days ago)

Hello,

When I try to play a mp3 file (audio/mpeg) on IE9 with the flash mode, the browser freezes (not respond) during the buffering of the file (I suppose during the buffering).

But if I change in the projekktor.js file, the "streamType" from "http" to "file" in the lines below, the freeze disappears and the player works correctly on IE9 but not on the other browser:

"modelId: "AUDIOFLASH",
iLove: [
{
ext: "mp3",
type: "audio/mp3",
platform: "flash",
streamType: ["http"]
}, {
ext: "mp3",
type: "audio/mpeg",
platform: "flash",
streamType: ["http"]
}, {
ext: "m4a",
type: "audio/mp4",
platform: "flash",
streamType: ["http"]
}],"

For information, you can find the configuration used to create the player:

projekktor(id, {
width: XXX,
height: XXX,
cssClassPrefix: XXX,
videoScaling: 'none',
imageScaling: 'none',
controls: true,
autoplay: false,
poster: XXX,
debug: false,
enableKeyboard: false,
playerFlashMP4: 'players/jarisplayer.swf',
playerFlashMP3: 'players/jarisplayer.swf',
disableFade: true,
playlist: [{0: {src:YYY, type:YYY}}],
platforms: ['flash']
}

Have you got an idea about this problem?

Hi Djo,

I´ve tried to reproduce your issue but without any success. I tried different content types, your config and also some of those f*cked up document modes in IE9.

Trying to isolate the problem I have to ask:

* Do you use the latest release of Projekktor?
* Do you use the latest version of the jarisplayer.swf which comes with the download-package? (Btw: This is an issue I often ran into).
* Which version of Flash is plugged into your IE?

Not much potential targets but we have to start somewhere.

Thanks for your response.

The answer to your questions are:
* Do you use the latest release of Projekktor?
Yes, the V1.0.29 r105

* Do you use the latest version of the jarisplayer.swf which comes with the download-package? (Btw: This is an issue I often ran into).
I use the jarisplayer.swf contained into the Distro Releases package.

* Which version of Flash is plugged into your IE?
The Shockwave Flash Object is in 11.3.300.268 version.

For IE9, I have :
* Browser Mode: Internet Explorer 9.
* Document mode: Internet Explorer 9.

The problem is reproducible only with mp3.

IE9 freeze when I try to play a mp3 file in flash mode

Hello,

To determine whether the problem is in my HTML code or due to the player configuration, I downloaded the latest version from the projekktor site and I took the design.html demo page on my server. I positioned a mp3 in the playlist and I added the configuration "platforms: ['flash'] ". I reproduce the freeze on IE9 (with the same flash version) .

Other information:
- The size of the mp3 is more than 4MB.
- The player takes more than 6 seconds to retrieve it.
- The IE9 exact version is 9.0.8112.16421.

During the 6 seconds, IE9 freeze then works again.

If i change the streamType from 'http' to 'file' for mp3 in the projekktor.js file for the AUDIOFLASH model, the problem does not appear.

Moreover, in the applyMedia function for the AUDIOFLASH model, the "FlashVars" contains "streamtype:'file'". this is perhaps a possible target?

I hope these information can help you to reproduce the problem.

Regards,

Hello,

I reproduce the problem with the last version V1.1.00, IE9 freezes with audio media in flash mode. Have you reproduced the problem and if yes, have you got an idea about this?

This is so sick. I´ve tested <audio> on win32 and win64 with IE9 with and without flash without any reproducible crash.

But if I change in the projekktor.js file, the "streamType" from "http" to
"file" in the lines below, the freeze disappears and the player works correctly
on IE9 but not on the other browser:

Changing this in the way you did will make Projekktor to ignore Flash. So native playback willl be triggered. The question is what is "the other browser"?

Can you provide a link to an example audio which causes the effect? Maybe it´s some sort encoding issue. Does this file play correctly? :link=http://www.speakker.com/sound/paniq%20-%20Beyond%20Good%20and%20Evil%20-%2002%20Tartaros%20(The%20Barren%20Acres%20of%20Open%20Source).ogg]test audio[/link]
