Hi Martin,

crazy stuff 8-)

Thanks for letting me know!

Timon

Hi Martin,

> We can put it up in next release.

Sounds great! Please do so!

Timon

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 got back early, immediately checked the test page and: Yeah! Big improvement!

On http://foliovision.com/html/fv-fp-ie11.html this is what happens:
1. After (re)loading the page, the load indicator weirdness is visible.
2. After starting the video, the load indicator weirdness is gone, yeah!
3. After pausing the video, the load indicator weirdness is still gone, yeah!

On http://foliovision.com/ the load indicator weirdness is still visible in all three cases.

This is a great step forward!

Cheers

Timon

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

Hi Martin,

thank you for your detailed response!

Regarding 1) Thank you for this useful shortcut!

Regarding 2) Ah, good to know. I read the section “Manual Editing” on the page
http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/user-guide
which does not list the width and height shortcode attributes. But in retrospective, I could have guessed from the screenshots in the other sections. Thank you for pointing this out!!

Regarding 3) After fixing the size, the black bars are gone. The load indicator weirdness is still there, but I’m going to describe that one in a separate thread. I turned off flash without any extra software, just by clicking the gear icon > internet options > programs > manage add-ons > flash > disable
so that should not interfere with the HTML5 video!?

Thank you very much for your detailed response, 7 out of 8 browsers are working perfectly now!

Cheers,

Timon

Hi Martin,

thanks for the hint, I clicked “Admin: Video OK” to submit problem reports for this video in some of the browsers. Find the details below:

I’m glad that 5 out of 8 browsers are working already.

I investigated more, as follows:

I re-encoded the video with the settings shown here:
http://www.php-schulung.de/wp-content/uploads/handbrake_settings_VIDEO_PSD2_v3.png

I display the new video here:
“http://www.v2.php-schulung.de/video-debug/”

The video itself is at:
“http://www.v2.php-schulung.de/wp-content/uploads/video/willkommen_php_symfony_v3.mp4”

The message “Admin: Video OK” shows in every browser.

Mac OS 10.8.5 Safari, Flash off: Works perfectly

Mac OS 10.8.5 Chrome, Flash off: Works perfectly

Mac OS 10.8.5 Opera 12.16, Flash off: Does not work, as expected
Mac OS 10.8.5 Opera 12.16, Flash on: Video plays, but is vertically stretched. It also extends below the top edge (open in Chrome to see what it is supposed to look like …).

Mac OS 10.8.5 Firefox 28.0, Flash off: The following message is shown: “html5: Unsupported video format. Try installing Adobe Flash.”
Mac OS 10.8.5 Firefox 28.0, Flash on: Video plays, but is vertically stretched. It also extends below the top edge (open in Chrome to see what it is supposed to look like …).

Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11.0.7, Flash off: Very weird display problems: The three flashing dots in the center that indicate the loding of the video keep flashing even when the video is playing. In addition, black bars are shown at top and bottom.

Windows 7 Opera 12.16, Flash off: Does not work, as expected
Mac OS 10.8.5 Opera 12.16, Flash on: Video plays, but is vertically stretched. It also extends below the top edge (open in Chrome to see what it is supposed to look like …).

I clicked “Admin: Video OK” to submit a problem report for this video in:
* Internet Explorer (Windows) (v1 and v3 of the video)
* FireFox (Mac) 2 times (v1 and v3 of the video)
* Opera (Mac) (v1 of the video)

I’m glad that 5 out of 8 browsers are working already.

Any hints for the remaining three browsers?

Cheers,

Timon
