Video.js: Problem to play RTMP with videojs swf 5.3.0

[mimcz]

Description

When I try to play RTMP source in videojs 5.18.4 I get several errors from Flash. Content starts to play, but in Chrome and Safari it displays error message and player becomes uncontrolable. FF and Edge also throw the error in console, but they don't display the error message to user and content keeps playing. If I change the swf path to swf version 5.2 videojs.options.flash.swf = '//vjs.zencdn.net/swf/5.2.0/video-js.swf'; the error stops.

Steps to reproduce

Explain in detail the exact steps necessary to reproduce the issue.

1. Just get basic setup of videojs 5.18.4
2. Add some RTMP source to see the error
3. Change swf path to see that it works videojs.options.flash.swf = '//vjs.zencdn.net/swf/5.2.0/video-js.swf';

I can reproduce with an Akamai stream - rtmp://cp67126.edgefcs.net/ondemand/&mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/test/video/spacealonehd_sounas_640_300.mp4 http://output.jsbin.com/megavi

It seems the change in videojs/video-js-swf/pull/208 that's needed for streams with some RTMP servers (#3481) breaks streams from others.

Hello,

I guess I have the same problem.

Here my config :

• "video-js": "6.2.1"
• "videojs-flash": "2.0.0"
• "videojs-swf": "5.4.0"
• RTMP amazon/cloudfront distributon with signed urls

I have updated the video-js lib from 4.4.0 to 6.2.1. And now I can't play my videos :( I get thoses errors :

VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:0 MEDIA_ERR_CUSTOM) FLASH: NetConnection.Call.Failed
VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:0 MEDIA_ERR_CUSTOM) FLASH: Method not found (FCSubscribe)

I checked my url/streams with rtmpdump et d1k5ny0m6d4zlj.cloudfront.net/diag/CFStreamingDiag.html and it seems to work.

I have to downgrade the librairies or an another solution exists ?

I ran into this issue as well. The solution I found was to use an older version of the .swf file. I ended up self-hosting version 5.2.0, like this:

flash: {
swf: "whateverPath/video-js-5.2.0.swf"
}

It's hard to find where to download that version but if you disable flash in the browser, you can save the file from: http://vjs.zencdn.net/swf/5.2.0/video-js.swf
