Strobe Media Player Issues

Running FMS and it's hosting a multi bit rate manifest (F4M).  When I test everything on the server hosting FMS, everything works fine using the Stobe Media Player.

When I copy the strobe media player SWF over to a different server it works fine as well with one major issue.  Once the video starts, if I seek to a different spot in the movie, watch for a bit, and then REFRESH the page (or leave the page and come back to the video), the player does not work.  If I refresh AGAIN, the video plays again.

This happens every single time and is extremely frustrating to debug.  I created a javascript bridge to monitor the events that are firing, and when the player messes up only two events are fired (onJavaScriptBridgeCreated, and progress), and the player itself looks odd.  When I refresh the page again, the onJavaScriptBridgeCreated event fires as well as timeupdate and all of the other events I'd expect.

Any ideas?  I'd like to take this project live but this is a show stopper.  I've tested on several other machines and all are having the same issue.  The Strobe Media Playback examples also have this issue, if you point the source to an F4M file.

I can create a simple demo with url if needed.

    Any ideas on this one?  Again, when I move the Strobe SWF over to another server (and access an f4m via http), the video loads and plays back just fine.  However, if I 'refresh' the video doesn't play, and looks like this: http://screencast.com/t/vYvFXHqc8f (you can see the javascript events that have fired).  It sits like this until I refresh the page, and it works again.

    If I point to the SWF on the FMS server, it works fine, but the javascript events will not function properly (cross domain).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need to wrap up this project and it's the last roadblock.  Is there a tech support # we can call too?
