Plays in plain video tag, and in generic HLS with:

flowplayer(container, {
  // config goes here
}).on("error", function (e, api, err) {
  if (err.code == 4) {
    container.className = container.className.replace(/ *is-error */, "");
    api.error = api.loading = false;
    api.load(api.conf.clip);
  }
});

But Flash HLS fails (with or without workaround), making it look like its manifestloadmaxretry (default -1 for infinite) is not properly evaluated.

Ah - won't work in Flash HLS because of crossdomain problem.

Bug demo please. Maybe we can fix the HTML5 part atleast?

---

phloxic commented on Sep 11, 2015

This boils down to the following:

• HTML5: works without workaround on the 'allowed' sites
• Flash HLS cannot work because there are 302 re-directs involved, see: relative paths in playlist are broken by 302 redirect mangui/flashls#261

Was about to close this. Doing it now.

Here's another HLS stream from Vimeo Pro which doesn't work: https://player.vimeo.com/external/46195780.m3u8?p=high,standard,mobile&s=64c504b85ee64c5d1b12e24f81ac7ca2a3ac7971

Looking at https://player.vimeo.com/crossdomain.xml it appears to me all domains are allowed.

`

`

Hower I see that the HLS URL does HTTP 302 redirection to https://05-lvl3-hls.vimeocdn.com/1454676728-faa08ec03a9792ae55985cba872d78233967e598/01/4239/1/46195780/108988234.mp4.m3u8 - if I use that one directly, then it works.

I tested this in JW Player and got the same behavior.

@foliovision - as already mentioned above - flowplayer#921 (comment) - 302 redirects cannot be made to work.
Unfortunately Vimeo also do not deliver with the required CORS settings for hlsjs: https://flowplayer.org/docs/plugins.html#hlsjs
