Switching a playback in midstream shows only a black screen (audio works)

Using Flashls to play m3u8, more details about this issue here. But apparently it's not necessarily related to the Flashls plugin.
mangui/flashls#288

Not an issue I tested with my own HLS implementation and its working fine here. You are replacing the playlist using this method. There is something going on with their method because it's a live stream with no master playlist being used.

[shacharz]

By "their" you mean flashls?
There's no master playlist being used because it's not an adaptive bitrate use-case but different 'channels' use-case

[danrossi]

There may be playlist fixes in the danmerge branch. I've merged some changes into one there I am delivering to people. It is working with the version I have for any provider used not just hls.

you have no dimensions configured that is what I mean. I believe he picks up the dimensions intensively from the avc but it could be configured from the player dimensions also if none are set.

[shacharz]

So are you suggesting I should use the danmerge branch?

$f("player").play({ url: "https://livestream.peer5.com/hls.m3u8" }); this is my test case. I already had a url configured and playing before switching to this.

I'm planning to get the fixes merged back to dev there are individual pull requests already. I don't believe they are related though.

I believe the playlist fixes are already in dev though.

this is the free player build but try this i just built it from my working copy

Yea or the entire clip properties object, for example in the case of flashls:
$f(0).play({
accelerated: true,
url: 'https://livestream.peer5.com/hls.m3u8',
ipadUrl: 'https://livestream.peer5.com/hls.m3u8',
urlResolvers: "httpstreaming",
lang: "fr",
provider: "httpstreaming",
autoPlay: true,
autoBuffering: true
});

[shacharz]

Just tested your build,
Besides these errors, because I don't have the associated control file:
GET http://localhost:8081/flowplayer/assets/flowplayer.controls-3.2.16.swf 404 (Not Found)

It doesn't solve the original issue either.

[danrossi]

The release file should be fine to use

http://releases.flowplayer.org/flowplayer.controls/flowplayer.controls-3.2.16.zip

autoBuffering: true turn that off perhaps. It is working with the usual providers.

[shacharz]

Thanks, no more 'controls' errors.
But the no video problem is still there.

[shacharz]

any updates?
