audio: playhead hangs or progress indicator stops updating at about 30 secs

[phloxic]

Replicable (most of the time, so try several times, with empty cache) at our demo at http://flash.flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/audio.html#example-flowplayer-as-a-music-box
The issue is less apparent and happens less often when autoHiding the controlbar is enabled.

Hi,

Just wondering what the status is for this? We have this player on our webpages for members and it is still an open bug on our end.

Hi,

I am also wondering what is the status of this ticket? I have discovered exactly the same issue in our own project while using YouTube plugin. The YouTube plugin is developed by ourselves but we haven't seen this problem before we upgraded the Flash Flowplayer to 3.2.18. Please fix this bug because it is affecting tens of thousands of our users. We have been using Flowplayer (the commercial license) since 2009. Thanks in advance.

@anssip - the flashls plugin has an issue with similar symptoms: mangui/flashls#159
In this case the playhead is not updated right from the start when controls autoHide: false.

My branch might have a fix for this still waiting to be merged. It's the events for the scrubber.

One can also see inconsistencies at http://flash.flowplayer.org/demos/standalone/plugins/streaming/audio.html - when hovering over the player long enough: buffer does not update etc.
It looks like the controlbar stops being updated after some time if it is not hidden.
