AJAX postback freezes video

2 replies [Last post]

Cheers,

I'm not saying this is a bug in JW Player (maybe just an architecture limitation of web browsers in general), but I'm experiencing this problem:

- JW Player 4.6 on ASP.NET page inside updatepanel with updatemode = conditional
- After I have done an AJAX postback for another updatepanel the video freezes/stumbles for about the same amount of time it took to do the postback

Video is Flash/H.264 coming from RTMP server.

Is this a known problem? Any workarounds?

Some more observations:

- The freezing occured across all FireFox browser instances => playing a video on the JW Player Wizard page would freeze when another FF window did the ajax postback

- Freezing occured also in Chrome and IE

BUT, magically:

- Disabling FireBug removed the freezing

and even more magically:

- Enabling FireBug again didn't cause the freezing to reappear.

 
Firebug is known to have issues with Flash content.

It's best to remove Firebug completely when you are testing/troubleshooting Flash content issues.
