rtmp, bwcheck, autoPlay: false, autoBuffering: true freezes/crashes some browsers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Google Chrome with Flash 11.3
2. http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/bwcheck-onstart.html

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: players stop at first frame.
Instead: Chrome freezes. Crash reported for IE here: 
http://flowplayer.org/forum/support.html?id=101424

Interestingly enough there is no problem with Flash 10.3 in older browsers(!)

P.S. I am aware that autoBuffering: true in connection with rtmp is highly 
problematic and questionable, with bwcheck obviously even more so. I can't tell 
whether allowing autoBuffering: true for rtmp becomes too hacky. If it does, we 
should be clear about disallowing it.

Forgot to add: bwcheck's checkOnStart must be true for the above to happen.

I discovered a bizarre crash which wasn't happening before, and only in chrome 
and was due to the frame seek during startup before pausing which I changed to 
a delay before pausing instead.

It is that problem i'm afraid, and strange it was never doing it before perhaps 
previous versions ???? I fixed this a while ago.

Ive requested it be released once the changes to the slowmotion plugin were 
made.

You should confer with Anssi. This is now the 2nd instance of some muddle up in 
the release - controlbar + menu as well. I have no hand in the release process.

Isn't your change checked into svn? Isn't there a commit log where you should 
be able to check whether it got in in time?

Hi as soon as the slow motion changes were locked in I did send an email ;) The 
controlbar was also supposed to be updated with the accessibility changes, I 
don't have control of this either ... There is no other system in place other 
than email ;)

According to the customer in http://flowplayer.org/forum/support.html?id=101424
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394987/flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.10.zip
did not solve the problem - or rather the latest source compiled.

Nope doesn't happen for me, perhaps its a cache problem. That is the problem I 
assure you ;)

I confirm that https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394987/flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.10.zip 
fixes the problem for me[tm].

i'll leave this open until the plugin is actually updated. It seems quite a few 
haven't been pushed live.

yeah, let's hope the release process becomes more reliable - this would indeed 
allow us to close bugs in dev with a clear conscience.

let me know if the release file is ok though it looks like more changes are 
pending ;)

I've updated
http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/bwcheck-onstart.html
to the latest release and can confirm that the Chrome freeze is gone.

I don't have IE9 to test.

Ok thanks, shall we close, there is some more pending commits to rtmp which 
will go through soon.
