Oi!
Im using JW player with swfobject and jquery to add a player to the page and update/load playlists.
Problem is that when the player changes from one clip to another in a playlist, sometimes a frame from the last clip played flashes by just before the new clip starts playing. This happens after preload/prebuffering of the new clip.
Anyone else got this problem? Ill run tests with older versions of JW today (currently using v4.5).
The only way I've been able to get it to work is kind-of forcing it. It doesn't seem like this should be necessary and do it this way and it does not show the video's thumbnail during buffering. But I don't see the weird flash frames at the beginning of the video, either. The is the little javascript I call from an onclick.
function playfromlist(whichplayer2,vidnum,holderID){
whichplayer2.sendEvent('STOP');
whichplayer2.sendEvent('ITEM',vidnum);
whichplayer2.sendEvent('PLAY','false');
whichplayer2.sendEvent('REDRAW');
whichplayer2.sendEvent('PLAY','true');
printItemData(whichplayer2,vidnum,holderID)
};Update: No, this doesn't work either... can anyone offer any assistance?
Same problem here. We were using .mov files when I first noticed this problem, we reencoded everything as .flv and the problem disappeared.
Same problem here. Player version 5. I'm using JavaScript to send 'LOAD' AND 'PLAY' events.
As a temporary solution, I loaded a jpg that's the same color as the player background color, so you can't see it.
However, part of my javascript relies on the 'COMPLETED' event, so this solution is not working for me, but perhaps it will help someone else.
Any suggestions on how to prevent the latent 'last video played' flash?
I've got the same problem here. Using verion 4.5. Is there a workaround? Clear video?
@Mike - could you please post an example page which demonstrates the problem?
Same here in 5.1 playing MP4 - I'm going to try FLV to see if that does anything different.
@Kristian - could you please post an example page which demonstrates the problem?
The same problem in JW FLV 4.6. You can simulate this by combining any video (eg. mp4) and images (png, jpg).
Playlist:
Video1
Image1
-blink last frame from Video1-
Video2
Image2
-blink last frame from Video2-
etc.Could you fix it in the next release of JW FLV?
@O. - Can you provide a link to where you are running this?
@Ethan - You can see that on this test page - http://uncloud.net/jw_test/
1) Can you add the control bar back so I can see the time? It is hard to notice the issue.
2) This is 4.6 also, can you try 5.2?
I can confirm that this error is not present in 5.2.
1. The controlbar is back.
2. We use Amazon S3 where we have some URL encoding problems with JW 5.2. I've tried to use JW FLV 5.2 on my test page and the problem is not present anymore.
Thank you.
Np, great, thanks! :0)
I'm having this exact same problem. I have a player using XML playlist. I'm using sendEvents to control what being played from the playlist. When changing to another video on the playlist, a frame from the last clip flashes just before the new clip starts playing (and often there is a audio blurp as well). I've tried a .sendEvent("stop"); before calling the new clip, but this does not seem to help either. Any ideas??
