IE crashes on pages with jwplayer

Hi,

ok so I've seen this problem on couple of posts but no solution to it.

IE7 crashes when there is jwplayer loaded on the page. It says "Operation aborted"

I've tried ading defer='defer' in the jwplayr.php but that didn't help to much.

Now on the page where there are all the songs listed (http://www.nadzornaoprema.com/hit-records/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=6) IE crashes "only" sometimes. But when I want to view a single song it always crashes (http://www.nadzornaoprema.com/hit-records/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=song&id=2)

This is a big problem because most of the people in Croatia still use IE.

So what can I do about this? I see that I can't use keithplayer nor dewplayer. And JWplayer obviously has problems.

The version of JWplayer is 1.5.1 .

Thanks in advance

    we are working to find a solution to this.

    however, I've been to your site, with IE6, and it didn't crash.

    does it only crashes with IE7?

    When I go with IE6 it puts out some windows with the text: "Press OK to continue loading content of this page" ... when you press that message a few times it loads the page... As far as I can see everything works fine after this.

    IE7 crashes regulary. Sometimes it doesn't but mostly does.

    Is there any other player I could use with MC component. Because this is really a big problem.

    Best regards

    hello,

    I'm preparing a new version of the player to solve this. can you make some beta testing? ;)

    all you have to do is to uninstall the jwplayer 1.5.1 and install this one (wich is 1.5.2 beta). I'm not sure if this is going to solve the problem. just test it and tell me something

    Thanks for the quick response germi

    Ok, so I've tried this new version of the jwplayer plugin, and it seems to be working.

    I've tried it on Windows 7 - IE 8 system and Win XP - IE7 system. It seems to be working fine in both versions.

    I will test it better tomorrow, and get back to you either way.

    Thanks for this.

    Have a nice day

    Hello germi,

    ok so I've tested jwplayer on my work computer. And still everything works fine in IE7. I've also tested it on IE6, in it I still get the "press OK to continue loading content of this page" message. The message shows up as many times as there are instances of jwplayer on the page. So that means if you have 12 songs it will show up 12 times.

    But after that everything seems to be working fine. The songs play and it's all ok.

    Thanks for solving this problem so quickly, I really appreciate it.

    Have a nice day

    Thank you very much Germi,

    It works in FF, and Safari. In IE7, I get an error on first fetch, and then when I reload with F5, it works. I cleared all the cache, reset the IE to original setting, but the error seems to be there. This still might be my computer setup. I'll send you a link in Email to check it out. I'll ask others to test as well, in case there is a setup issue with my IE. Thank you very much.

    Hi Germi,

    As you can see on www.playgospel.com.br , the last version "plg_jwplayer_1-20091231.zip" doesn't worked on my site. I cleared the cache from IE and Joomla, but sometimes the footer of my site doesn't apper, and sometimes appear. I'm using a Rocket Theme template. Thanks a lot.

    I cannot enter your site, I'm not a member..

    just reember: the new plugin was to fix JW Player AS A PLUGIN, not as a module. if you have the module also installed, try to diable it for a moment and see if you still get the same problems

    hello fellows,

    anybody want to try a hacked version fo jwplayer MODULE that we are working on to try to solve the IE incompatibility problem?

    you'll need to do one thing first: open /components/com_muscol/controller.php and add this after line 174:

    $params->set('load_mootools',JRequest::getVar( 'load_mootools') );


    then just intall this new version (1.5.2) of jw player module.
    remember: the goal of this new version is to solve the problem with IE (I dont know if all versions, or only IE8.. or 7...) that made jwplayer CRASH when throwing out the popup player.

    so, please try this fix those who had this issue, and know what I'm talking about ;)

    please feedback to me what you see. this is just the first attempt! ;)

    oh, by the way, there is a new parameter on this version of the module (last one), wich is to load mootools on popup player. to make the issue with IE be solved, you are supposed to choose YYYYEEESSSS! ;)

    Hi Germi,

    The new module and (code change to the controller) works fine loading the page with the module. However, when we click on the popup link, it removes the player from the module position, but doesn't generate a new window. We also don't seem to get the link title changed to restore player in the page, and still says popup player in the new window. I am running IE7. Thanks.

    I also tried this with same results of previous poster. In addition, having the MooTools set to yes seemed to break the player in FireFox. I set it back to no and the player then popped up in FF.

    I have been able to get the popup to work in IE8. To do this I commented out line 42 (//module_jwplayer = null;) in the file modules/mod_muscol_jwplayer/tmpl/module_jwplayer_functions.js

    IE8 was reporting an error on this line.

    However, now, after un-installing the 1.5.2 version of the module and re-installing the 1.5.1 version I get no response when I press the play button? Not in the module, not in the pop-up and not in any of the plugin players that show when viewing an album etc.

    What could be causing this?

    Thanks - David

    :) well, you just deleted the variable holding the player, so no "play" action can be now sent into it :lol:

    but, I think you got a good idea. I mean, the problem comes from this variable declaration, thats for sure.

    I'll try to work on this direction

    thanks, that is a promising idea. hope we solve this SOOOOONN!!!!
