I'm using the OVA plugin with Open Ad Stream and the Flashplayer is crashing every few times i reload the page in Firefox.

I have the debug version of the player installed and it's reporting the following on page reloads.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Can anyone explain what's causing the error, this isn't such a big issue in a desktop browser but i'm currently developeing a catchup application for the playstation where quite often the Netfront browser is hanging completely. I would like to be able to rule this out as a possible cause.

An example of the player i'm using can be found here:-

Hi,

That's actually a JW Player issue where the exception is being thrown in the code that handles the player controls.

If you use the latest version of JW 5.7 from the SVN trunk it has this issue fixed. The fix will also be included in the next official release of JW Player which is 5.7.

I'm running that version of JW player now for my development and testing and it definitely resolves the issue.
