Playback freezing with the plugin on Flowplayer. Only audio and loops

[mikeodysseos]

Hi. I am experiencing an issue where playback freezes suddenly and only audio is streamed. After a few seconds, playback goes back a few seconds and when it reaches the point it stopped, it loops again.

Stream is provided by Akamai so bandwidth from my part shouldn't be an issue.

Sometimes the problem comes 22-24 seconds in the video and it seems that it happens when switching video quality because it happens also when seeking.

"plugins":{"flashls":{"url":"/Themes/flashlsFlowPlayer-0.3.4.swf","hls_debug":false,"hls_debug2":false,"hls_lowbufferlength":3,"hls_minbufferlength":8,"hls_maxbufferlength":60,"hls_startfromlowestlevel":false,"hls_seekfromlowestlevel":false,"hls_live_flushurlcache":false,"hls_seekmode":"ACCURATE","hls_capleveltostage":false,"hls_maxlevelcappingmode":"downscale"}},"clip":{"url":"http://ant1cyprus-vh.akamaihd.net/STAGONA/stagona_1_49/master.m3u8","urlResolvers":["flashls","httpstreaming","brselect"],"provider":"flashls","autoPlay":false},"ratio":0.75,"playerId":"player","playlist":[{"url":"http://ant1cyprus-vh.akamaihd.net/STAGONA/stagona_1_49/master.m3u8","urlResolvers":["flashls","httpstreaming","brselect"],"provider":"flashls","autoPlay":false}]}

Thanks in advance

i cannot access your playlist because of missing crossdomain.xml or permissions

Hi! Thanks for the quick response. You can try hiding the referrer or access any episode through this link

UPDATE: The problem seems to happen on both Internet Explorer and Chrome. but check THIS:
Another series ( http://www.ant1iwo.com/webtv/show-page/episodes/?show=89723 ) plays awesomely on Internet Explorer ONLY!

sorry but i can't investigate issue on a remote website with a player i can't tweak.
i need detailed repro steps + a stream that can be accessed from anywhere (crossdomain setup correctly).

Hi again. OK I will unlock the stream to be available to be accesses from
anywhere by tomorrow for you to have a look..

Stream seems to be functioning better on Internet Explorer

For example this stream
http://ant1cyprus-vh.akamaihd.net/ROYA/roya_1_174/master.m3u8 works fine on
IE but on Chrome, around 20-30 seconds in, the video freezes, audio keeps
playing but up to a point. Then infinite loop of the last 10 seconds
happens. When seeking on IE, stream continues playing almost instantly, but
on Chrome it takes around 8 seconds to play and freezes after the first
couple of frames.

However, this stream
http://ant1cyprus-vh.akamaihd.net/stagona/stagona_1_54/master.m3u8 freezes
on both Chrome and Internet explorer as I explained above

If the stream is fine for you, you could try throttling your connection a
bit and see what happens, because from what I understand, the problem
happens when switching to a different bitrate due to limited bandwidth

Thanks again for your response, by tomorrow [26 May 2015] morning the
stream should be accessible from anywhere
