Error playing a video with Flowplayer 3 and Internet explorer 7

flu

Hi,
I'm using the last official release (1.2.4) and I've just noticed that Ie7 can't display my video file (.flv) with Flowplayer3 : nothing appears.
Strangely, using ie7 and Flowplayer3 for the slideshow works.
Both work very fine with Firefox.

Can you reproduce that ?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I am on Mac and can't test IE. Maybe sbillard can. Just as a note. Flowplayer 3 requires at least the Flash player 9 or newer, maybe that is not installed on IE?

Hi Malte, thank you for your reply.
I've just checked my IE config, Flash player 10 is installed and works fine with the slideshow but I get a warning trying to play a video.
It says that "a string or a number is missing" in the <script> part concerning the style of the Flowplayer "controls".
Here is the code generated by the plugin :
`<span id="player" class="flowplayer" style="display:block; width: 500px; height: 300px;">
</span>
<script>
flowplayer("player","/zp-core/plugins/flowplayer3/flowplayer.swf", {
plugins: {
controls: {
backgroundColor: "#000000",
autoHide: "always",
timeColor:"#fcfcfc",
durationColor: "#ffffff",
progressColor: "#ffffff",
progressGradient: "low",
bufferColor: "#cccccc",
bufferGradient: "",
sliderColor: "#ffffff",
sliderGradient: "low",
buttonColor: "#cccccc",
buttonOverColor: "#999999"
}
},
canvas: {
backgroundColor: "-1",
},playlist: [
{
url:"/albums/mywonderfulvideo/part01.jpg",
scaling: "orig",
},
{
url:"/albums/mywonderfulvideo/part01.flv",
autoPlay: false,
autoBuffering: true
}
]
});
</script>`

Weird, isn't it ?

There seems something wrong with both `bufferGradient: "",` and `backgroundColor: "-1",` I think. Sbillard also reported an a js error in FF3. I will take a look at that later.

Just to say that `backgroundColor: "-1"` is an option of the player which is supposed to make its background transparent (does'nt work for me but never mind).
Setting a "real" background color (#000000) won't remove the error (I've just tested it).

Thank you for your help.

Flowplayer requires an hex value for the color, not sure about transparent being possible at all. The doc on the fp site is a little confusing at times.

Anyway, I have found a typo in an option and a few commas too much in the js part. It's in the svn. Don't know if that also removes the error because strangely I did not get one with FIrefox/Firebug.

Yep, I have no problem with Firefox (surprising, isn't it ?).
I'll try the svn.

Thank you for your reply and your time, Malte.
