Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).

Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions

Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?

Thanks,

Albert

No worries. I wasn't able to find the mutuality for the issue on the systems/browser combinations I ran the tests on either ... yet. If I stumble upon something I will post it here.


This has been bugging me because it was so weird.  I figured it had to be a real issue. 

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong when trying to reproduce this.  The bug is actually related to seeking.  If you let the video play through to the end, you won't hit this bug.

I filed this bug on your behalf and forwarded it over to the engineering team:

It's the first I'm hearing about it.  Can you send me a link that reproduces the issue?  You're welcome to PM me if you don't want to post a public link.

I asked one of my senior people to look at this, and we're unable to reproduce it based on the link you provided; however, we noticed that the JWPlayer version being used is different than the version listed in the HTML description on the page.  I confirmed his results on my machine, and I'm also unable to reproduce the issue.
