Saptarshi, if you have any clues, tell us.

I've seen this issue on desktop when spoofing as Firefox OS, but could not at the time reproduce on the phone. It's like it's waiting for an onload event on an IMG element that fails to fire..?

[10:45:58.153] ReferenceError: SSBandInteraction is not defined @ http://public.slidesharecdn.com/javascripts/ssplayer/combined_mobile_scroll_player.js?c55c1ebae7:222

SSBandInteraction is used here:

this.config.touch?(b.touchInteraction=new SSTouchInteraction({container:b.slidedisplayer.container,playerType:this.config.player_type,hostedIn:this.config.hosted_in}),b.navigators.push(b.touchInteraction)):"document"!==
this.config.player_type&&("video"!==this.config.player_type&&"infographic"!==this.config.player_type)&&(b.bandInteraction=new SSBandInteraction({container:b.slidedisplayer.container,width:b.width,linksDisabled:this.config.disable_links}),b.navigators.push(b.bandInteraction))

so maybe this.config.touch is false and should be true? Well, this sort of explains why it fails on a spoofing desktop but should work on mobile:

(code defining Modernizr.touch, I assume):
e.touch="ontouchstart"in a||9===c.touch.offsetTop

this.config.touch=a&&(Modernizr.touch||"Windows Phone"==a)&&!cookie("nomobile");

(I have not stepped through code or anything - the above is not analysis, just guesswork)

I can not reproduce on the phone - only on desktop. Karl, still seeing this?

(On the other hand, sometimes when scrolling down a long presentation the screen goes black - is that an OOM? That would be our problem anyway, not something for Slideshare to fix IMO.)

I'm unable to reproduce after going through about 10 slidedecks. Please reopen if you can still see this problem Karl. <3
