Description
I made a complete working setup with videos, following the toturial in http://www.tmtdigital.com/node/47.
It works perfect in FF.
In IE the images were gone, I added $params['api'] = 2; in the script, having the images back. I can select a movie. Only in IE the movies dont't start. When hovering the start arrow image this start button changes, that is all it does.
Like I said: the movie is starting correct in FF.

I did some browser testing.
Movie starts with:
FF 3.0.10
Google Chrome 1.0.154.59
Safari 3.1.2 (525.21)
Movie doesn't start with:
Opera 9.64
IE 6
IE 7
I also tried other scripts of dashplayer and amfphp. I Did the setup a second and more time. I learned that the brower cache kan be a trouble maker, you must empty it. The result is the same as my first setup.
What I have is a working view for the playlist and a working view service. I can see the images of the movies, I can start the movie in some browsers.
I work with D6.11, PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.1.30, AMFPHP 1.9 Beta 2, DashPlayer 6-1.5, Services 6.1.dev (31 mrt), Voting API 6-2.0-RC2 and Fivestar 6-1.15.
Can someone help me or point me in a direction?

I am using this code to display the player in a block set in a panel page:
$params['width'] = 852;
$params['height'] = 432;
$params['playlist'] = 'videos';
print dashplayer_get_player($params);
only I get a blank space in IE7 / IE6. Clicking to activate the flash doesn't load anything in the browser.
I am looking into SWFObject as a solution, but haven't worked it out yet: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/#download
YouTube videos on the same page display white so solving the IE6/7 Flash bug is the key.
