Impossible to Play after a Stop

Hi!

With version 7.2.2 a call to stop() will make the player unusable, as any subsequent calls to play() will cause the player to buffer indefinitely.

Here is a very simple example: http://cartas.se/atg/video/

You can choose to use the Stop button and then try to Play again. You can also test this on your own pages, and call stop() and play() through the console to see the same behaviour.

I've tested this with both HLS and DASH streams, and the issue occurs on both.

Is there a work-around for this rather large bug? Or should I revert to 7.1.4 till it's fixed in a new version?

Why are you using stop() instead of pause()? I avoid stop() like the plague.

Hello,

I have passed this along to our engineers but in the meantime you might consider using: playerInstance.load([{file:“http://www.mydomain.com/bunny.mp4”}]); instead of stop as it should reload the stream as you intend I believe.
