IE8 FlowPlayer implementation bug about html5media HOT 6 CLOSED

Do you have a URL that reproduces this issue? I can't believe that all versions of Flowplayer more than a few months old have just stopped working...

Using IE8, I can play the videos here:

http://html5media.info/

from html5media.

Yep, you're right. Videos on http://html5media.info are working very well, also on IE8, if the Flash Player is up to date.
But if the Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated, then also http://html5media.info runs into problems and the videos aren't working anymore.

The problem is that the script wants to load http://static.flowplayer.org/swf/expressinstall.swf to update the flash player, which doesn't work cause the file / url doesn't exist anymore. So I think it is more an issue of FlowPlayer and there static API than an issue of html5media.

Definitely sounds like a Flowplayer problem. It might be worth raising this issue with them. I never managed to find their issue tracker myself.

That path doesn't work anymore, but you can simply do something like:

html5media.configureFlowplayer = function(element, config) {
var addToConfig = {
expressInstall: '/new/path/to/expressInstall.swf'
}
$.extend(config, addToConfig); //jQuery extend, but can combine however you want
return config;
}

#42 I submitted will fix this issue and no need for extra configuration.

This issue should now be fixed by the new 1.1.6 html5media release.
