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

    I retested it, and it works now! Must have been a glitch. I think, I was running a silver light application with somewhat heavy communication feed at the same time in the browser. But I just test it with the silverlight app running and it worked fine. I even tested it under IE6 and it worked fine (Now that's an accomplishment for any app :-)) Thanks a lot Germi and dloendorf for your helps.

    Germi,

    Sorry I got side tracked, and then I had to integrate the skin and flash changes back into 1.5.1 . I also added the variable decalration in the javascript file in the 1.5.1 version. Now, eveythings works, except when in IE we try to pop the winodw back in. It still hangs. BTW, I needed to add the defer='defer' in the javascript parameter same as 1.5.2, otherwise, it would not run. I am not sure how dloendorf's working!?

    @dloendorf are you running in SEF mode? I have had problems with the global Itemid as well. Make sure the itemid is specified in the paramters of different modules.

    Not sure what happened, but ALL functions are now working...even with xMap loaded including it's muscol plugin.

    What I did notice is that a number of things started to not be working on my machine...rss feeds, sound in you-tube videos, etc. So I tried on my laptop and all was working great. I re-booted and now all is well.

    STRANGE!!

    But now happy!

    David

    Now - only one thing left to resolve - Why the Default itemid is not being picked up by playlist and playlists causing an overwrite of the right column.

    Hey guys
    sorry I forgot to mention, with this new hack, the player should work without the mootools trick. So, using version 151 should be fine

    @dloendorf: this should not have anything to do with the module. Did you tryed to modiy anything else besides what you told me? Somehing on the plugin, maybe?
    Are you using some kind of SEF?

    Guys, I smell a definitive solution very near :) your help is being SO useful. Thanks for your collaboration!

    OK - I returned to module version 1.5.1 without the mootools option. I am running IE8 and FF3.5.7.

    Popout and return are working fine for me. Just have no play action in anything - not even for individual songs listed under an album.

    I got more info. If we turn the mootools flag on. the IE can now pop the window back in fine. But for both FF (as noted before), and IE, when the window is poped out we lose the player.

    Great! - That allowed me to not comment out the line.

    Thanks!

    However, I still get no response when I press a play button?

    Any thoughs on why that might be happening?

    D

    I just read the postt in front of mine, and mine pops up and closes just fine. I tried it a number of times.

    Hi Germi,

    Yes, it now can pop the window out (mootool variable is off), but when we try to pop it back in, it goes to Bermuda triangle :-) ... I smell a solution near :-)

    hey, just a thought here:

    open module_jwplayer_functions.js

    and add this:
    var module_jwplayer;

    at the beginning, around line 5

    does it help on IE??

    :) 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!!!!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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! ;)

    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! ;)

    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

    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.
