Looks like this issue will be resolved when JW 8.1 is released. The beta version is currently expected in the first half of December.

What about fixes for JW 7 version? Never?

Looks like this issue only applies to MP4 videos. Are you seeing the same thing with HLS?

And if you’re not hosting the videos with us, you should. We make your content available as both MP4 and HLS.

Yes, this issue is only for mp4 videos.
This is global bug of player, not only for me. No need hosting from you.

I never said that it will not be fixed in JW7.

Using HLS is a fix that you can potentially use right away. The fix for MP4s in Edge 16 will be in JW 8.1 in a few weeks.

Our product manager will need to decide if there is enough JW7 usage in Edge 16 to justify the engineering effort, as Edge 16 was released after JW7 development ended.

Are you considering moving to JW8?

Nothing official yet, as the office was closed last Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, but I will check again now that everyone is back.

And here is a potential workaround for JW7 I found in the short term. Basically you remove the transform, top, and left CSS settings from the player when the MP4 first starts playing:

on('firstFrame',function(){
  thisContainer = this.getContainer().id
  setTimeout(function(){
	  thisPlayer = document.getElementById(thisContainer);
	  thisDiv = thisPlayer.querySelectorAll(".jw-video")[0];
	  thisDiv.style.transform = "";
	  thisDiv.style.top = "";
	  thisDiv.style.left = "";
  },1);

});

Thank You for answer!!!

Add this to each player? If them hundreds?)

I tested it and it worked on one JW7 player in Edge 16, but I would definitely suggest testing on your side as well.

But yes, this on(‘firstFrame’) event handler would need to be added to any JW7 player in Edge 16.

Thanks for adwise, waiting global fix for JW 7 player

Todd

We are not seeing high usage levels for MP4s in Edge 16 on JW7, but we will keep an eye on it.

We have lots of customers that have already transitioned to JW8, so we think you should too. And JW8 will be getting most of the attention from our engineers moving forward for things like new features, faster load times, bug fixes, etc.

JW 8 player is very expensive for me

Expensive? It should already be included on your account at no additional charge.

I'm about self hosted player.

Todd

JW Player Support Agent  
0 rated :

One of the downsides to the self-hosted player is that you do not automatically get updates. We have to make changes from time to time to support changes on the browser side.

Another example is that we see Chrome 64 (set to be released in January) is going to change some of the autostart behavior on desktops. Our engineers are most likely going to update the player accordingly, and that change will come to JW8 first and we cannot promise that JW7 will be patched.

I'm understand, thank You for explain.
So, 1 question, why do You tracking so much information from each player?
For debug You can tracking beta players, but from each player, each time?

Todd

JW Player Support Agent

We are tracking player events to monitor how fast the player loads, how long the viewer has to wait for the video to start, etc.

It is important to note that we are not tracking viewers, just what the player is doing.

If anyone is concerned, I added these lines to CSS that fixed the issue for me. Not needed to temper the player embed code.

.jw-video {
transform: none !important;
top: 0 !important;
left: 0 !important;
width: 100% !important;
height: 100% !important;
}
