Perhaps this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. Once a file has finished playing -- assuming it doesn't auto-load another one -- the play button indicates it's still playing.

In MediaFront, once the video finishes playing, pause is still shown in the play/pause spot. If someone was designing a player, there are multiple ways the ending could be configured.

The way MediaFront is configured is logical. Once the video is complete, if you click on the pause button or on the video itself, it replays. This seems normal.

If the player were to react in some way at the video's end that would involve extra code and would be cosmetic only.

Forgive me for resetting the issue status, but the fact that the issue is cosmetic doesn't make it any less of a bug, nor does it mean that it shouldn't be addressed by the developer. The last time I checked any of my mechanical players around the house -- as well as those on my computer -- not a single one indicated it was playing when it was not.

If it is showing pause when it finishes playing then it is a bug with the player. It should be resetting the state of that button, but it is possible that you are playing a media type that doesn't get the 'complete' trigger once the media is done playing. Can you provide me with the type of file you are trying to play as well as the environment you are in so that I can debug?

These are all MP3s. Environment? It's rather warm here, being Southern California...oh, wait, that's not what you meant. Safari 5.1.7, Mac OS X 10.7.4 -- anything else you need?

Yeah, it was an issue with Safari not firing the 'pause' event before the media was completed. The issue has been fixed with the latest DEV version.

I'm still seeing this issue with 7.x-2.0-rc1+3-dev. Or is there something I need to change in my template?

So, I just tried this in my environment, and it seems to work just fine. Are you using a custom template, or the default template?

Odd. It's working now. I wonder if I just failed to flush the caches?
