Hello -
This is my first time actually post to the forums here, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes.
I'm maintaining a website running Drupal 6, using videojs module 2.2 with video.js 3.2. I'm having a problem getting videos to display in IE8. (IE7 is working fine - I'm not sure about IE9.) When I open a page with a video on it in IE8, the video loads correctly only if I have just cleared the browser cache, or if I hard refresh with CTRL-F5. I've googled my heart out, but I just can't find any solutions that have any impact.
I am calling the player using the php script here: https://gist.github.com/1234342
Any help or ideas anyone has would be most appreciated.

(The video on the "real" page is not yet approved for public release.)
Oh, and thank you ever so much in advance for taking a look. This problem is driving me nuts.

Zoethor2 CreditAttribution: Zoethor2 commentedI've been continuing to work on this problem, and I thought I'd throw out there two things that didn't work, in hopes of narrowing the problem down.
I inserted javascript to force a reload upon opening the page - this did not solve the problem. Here is the code I tried:
I also used the html meta code to force the page to load from the server and that didn't work either.
Meanwhile, using CTRL+F5 continues to work every time.

Jorrit CreditAttribution: Jorrit commentedIt is a very strange problem. I have not yet had the time to look into it, sorry.

Jorrit CreditAttribution: Jorrit commentedIs this still a problem for you?

There is no need to call the player using a third-party PHP script - this is this module's job. Thus I am closing this issue to clean up to queue. Feel free to reopen it, however, if - like Jorrit asked - this is still a problem.
