No playable sources found firefox, IE working well


I am Using JWPlayer 6.2.31115, on a apache Server with H.264 pseudo streaming and a plalist for different qualities.

In IE everything is working well, in Firefox I get the error "No playable sources found". If I add primary: flash, as suggested in several threads I get a error "Provider must be a swf" in both browsers.

Here my embed Code:
bc.. <script src="/images/kwu/video/player/jwplayer.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("container").setup({
playlist: "/images/kwu/video/demo-1-playlist.rss",
width: 750,
height: 421,
autostart: "true"
});
</script>



and the rss File:

bc.. <rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:jwplayer="http://developer.longtailvideo.com/">
<channel>
<title>kwu4s Produkt Demos</title>

</media:group>
<jwplayer:provider>http</jwplayer:provider>
<jwplayer:http.startparam>starttime</jwplayer:http.startparam>
</item>

</channel>
</rss>



What is to do?

best regards

Another comment: when I play the mp4 files with JP Player directly, they are played in FF.

In the playlist, remove:

<jwplayer:provider>http</jwplayer:provider> <jwplayer:http.startparam>starttime</jwplayer:http.startparam>

ok, this worked, but now it seems as the pseudo streaming and automatic bitrate switching does not work anymore, like it did before with IE and works on the same server here: www.bikeinside.de with both browsers

Ok, works if I add

startparam: "starttime",

to the embed code.

Another question: how do I add a label for the manual bitrate switch, for each quality.

<media:content bitrate="400" url="/images/kwu/video/demo-1-240.mp4" width="426" label="low" />

shows 426px as label

Yes, that will not work. Are you actually using a streaming server here?

No, http pseudo streaming

Yes, fullscreen bitrate switching isn’t supported.

in version 5 it worked, would be fine when we have it in ver 6 also. Also Bitrate switching when resizing the window. In the moment it works only on initial load.

You are using JWP5.9, I would update to 5.10 and see if that corrects the issue.

He is using JW6 Willie, not JW5. Please refrain from hijacking threads in the future.

@Christian, yes, I am aware this used to be supported, but is now not.

after updating to jwplayer 6.3.3242 and changing to the jw namespace in the rss playlist there is no bitrate switching even on initial load anymore. I had to switch to the jw player namespace to be able to use the label tag.
It seems as if the "bitrate" tag is without function.

The URL is now http://www.kwu4s.com/demos.html.

The “width”, “height” and “bitrate” options are indeed all ignored for MP4 files. Only the “label” options is used, to show the HD menu.

JW Player also doesn’t attempt to auto-switch between multiple MP4 files. Only for HLS and RTMP streams (which can seamlessly switch), JW Player does this.
