IE 6 won't play back FLV files -- they load in the SWF player, but neither have controls nor play. This was cross-referenced/first mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497218#c1. https://support-stage.mozilla.org/sr-CYRL/kb/Screencast+testing+-+Milos has a good batch of test screencasts already uploaded; just click on the 2nd "Watch a video..." link.

This is a screenshot of the player working in IE by placing the exact html outputted by the JS launcher in the footer. So, the player clearly works in IE 6. It just doesn't work when dynamically created and appended to the page for some reason.

Okay, so I had the launcher spit out the embed code of a youtube video for FLV videos, and the youtube player showed up. With this in mind (and comment 1), it seems like this is a limitation of the player being able to cope with IE 6. I'm going to keep debugging, though.

We need to get 1.1 out, so we are going to live with this for 1.1. It's critical for 1.2, and if we get a fix faster than that then we will ship a mini release to solve it.
Severity: major → critical
Target Milestone: 1.1 → 1.2

So, the problem is isolated to the 'maxi' version of the player. Switching down to the 'normal' version of the player gives us a functioning player in IE 6. This switch will mean the player loses the following 'features', however: * Fullscreen * Play button background Ideally, what we could do is simply add these features to the player ourselves, but with me being a bit under the weather and the tight release schedule, I'm not sure if we have time for development and QA. I'll be attaching the 'normal' version of the player to the bug shortly.

r27978/r27979 With this, we'll need to check that the flv player renders properly in all browsers across all platforms.

Verified FIXED with the following browsers: * IE 6 * IE 7 * IE 8 * Firefox 2.0.20 * Firefox 3.0.11 * Shiretoko (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090617 Shiretoko/3.5pre) * Safari 3.2.3 * Safari 4.0 * Google Chrome 2.0.172.31 * Opera 9.64 (All using Flash 10.0.xx.xx.) In addition to testing that each played the .flv file, I also randomly tested playback in .swf / .ogg for each (one or the other), as well as a few cases where both are present (the switching functionality).
