Sound, but no Video
This is a major bug, around 10-20% of the time this happens, I've had reports from loads of visitors to my sites and I also get the problem on my PC's
I'm using SWFObject 1.5 and the newest player (v.3.7).
However, I had a thoery it's the JavaScript rendering time being the issue, so tried a couple of things out and here's how I fixed it:
Instead of the line:
s1.write("video")
I'm using this:
setTimeout("s1.write('video');",1)
This adds a 1 millisecond delay before the browser writes the player into the page, and it works everytime for me (it's not failed once yet).
Have tested in IE6, IE7 and Firefox 2.0.
Not had time to confirm if Mac Firefox & Safari are OK, but I don't see why not.
PS Note the mix of double & single quotations in that line, make sure you do the same.
If anyone else tries this method of mine, please let us all know how you get on.
