Hi Martin,

Regarding 1) It plays as HTML5

Regarding 2) Yes, the same issue appears on http://foliovision.com , too! See the screenshot:

Regarding 3) The problem disappears when I disable the hardware acceleration.

So if hardware acceleration is causing the problem:

How can this be fixed?

Hi Martin,

> this is not easy to figure out. It might be even depending on your hardware.

O.K., I’ll help in any possible way. For example: Could it help you if I set up remote access to this machine for you? RDP, TeamViewer etc? Maybe it won’t help either, because remote access will bypass the GPU rendering?

> We will put together a demo where the player will use different CSS for the loading indicator and see if that helps.

Sounds great, I’ll check all of those as soon as I get them. Also feel free to use my e-mail from this forum profile in case it can’t be posted online.

> Also, are you able to play/pause/seek in the video (or in the buffered part) freely? Please check this on your test video.

I checked this on http://foliovision.com/ and yes, I can play, pause, seek and it works just perfectly (with the exception of the load indicator distortion being present all the time).

BTW: In the video with the fireshow (http://foliovision.com/) this distortion may be overlooked easily, because there is so much action and change all the time. In the business video that I’m working on there’s not so much wild action, it’s basically me talking into the camera- and then the distortion hits either the play button (before the video is played) oder my face while I’m talking. So in this case the distortion is very prominent.

Thank you for working on this difficult case!!
I’m very much looking forward to publishing the whole new site, where the video has a very prominent place on the 1st page!

Cheers,

Timon

Thank you!
I’ll be back at the office on Friday and will check the test page as soon as I get there.

Hi Martin,

seeing above that 2 out of 3 parts of this are solved: Do you plan to include your bugfixes that improved this issue on http://foliovision.com/html/fv-fp-ie11.html in the next patch release of the plugin?

I’m asking because even this partial fix would be very valuable for me:

With your latest fixes my new site is almost ready to go live, because then only the splash screen has the anomaly: I think I could temporarily work around that by photoshopping the splash screen so that the anomaly happens on an area of uniform color and is less visible, at least for the normal size of the video on desktop computers …

Thank you!

Hello Martin,

looks like these fixes didn’t make it into the just released version 2.2.7 ?

Which version are they going to be in?

Timon

Hi Martin,
I have installed and tested 2.2.9 on one of my sites. Sadly, this bug still appears.

Looks like your working fixes didn’t make it into 2.2.9?

Which version will they be in?

Cheers,

Timon

Hi Martin,

> We can put it up in next release.

Sounds great! Please do so!

Timon

Hi Martin,

now it works perfectly. Yeahh!

It works great on splash screen, play, pause and last frame.

I feel happy and relived.

Thank you!

Timon
