Prog download video with chapters requires 2 clicks to play any but first chapter

Hi,

I have a progressive download video with several chapters. The video is set to NOT autostart.

If the user clicks any but the first item in the playlist, it simply plays from the beginning - it does not seek to the beginning of the requested item. If the user clicks twice on the desired item, it plays correctly, from the start of that item. Actually playing a little of ANY item will get it to start functioning correctly from then on.

Thanks,

Ellen

@Ellen -

That's the issue with progressive download videos - they can't be seeked into until the requested portion of the video has been loaded. If you need to create a playlist out of a single file (rather than splitting it up into several video files) you're much better off using HTTP pseudo-streaming or true RTMP streaming.
