jplayer playlist in FF using flash version [#852286]

I'm having a intermittent issue getting our jplayer playlist working in FF. It works sometimes, and largely not working. It seems to work properly in FF viewing the example, but not on our site. It is most likely something I've done, but not sure what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My thought is it's something I might have misconfigured with the plugin. I'm using the latest jplayer 1.2. Thanks.

I noticed a comment on the jplayer forum that may relate to this. In short, "..requirement that all player container elements have unique ids.." I'm looking into it further, but thought I'd mention it here if anyone has ideas. Thanks.

Answering my own question somewhat. A few things caused this problem in FF. Limited bandwidth caused the player to not respond, and while troubleshooting with Firebug this caused a bigger problem...using Firebug and the jplayer plugin together is a known bug.

I did find that without the autoplay on, it doesn't set the first item as active, which in turn doesn't allow the play button to work when the page loads. I created a patch file that moves the setActive method outside of the autoPlay condition to set the first item as active. This is my first attempt at submitting a patch.

Your patch definitely fixes the issue (which I had seen as well). The problem with the patch itself is that it doesn't indicate which file it should be applied against.

Let me know if you need help getting the patch re-rolled.

The patch #9 works for me with FF 3.6 + Ubuntu 10.10 and fixes #906454: nothing happens when I click on "play" in playlist mode + Auto-play disabled

The patch in #9 has some pretty broken indentation that needs to be fixed.

Can anyone verify that this is still a problem in the latest 6.x-1.x release?
