Flash *sometimes* works - please help

Hi All,

I’ve designed a site using flowplayer. Everything runs fine, but on my MAC 10.5.8 (all browsers) the videos seem to time out while loading and don’t work.

Oddly, if I click refresh and then navigate to a different tab, the videos seem to load longer and actually work. The flowplayer is set up to play for a second or two in order to create a screen-shot and then stop until the user clicks ‘play’.

I’ve updated flash and all plug-ins – any ideas as to why this happens? I ask here because the flowplayer forums are not very active. These videos are about 15 minutes - could this be a cache issue?

Thanks in advance.

Monitor what’s happening with an http monitor like charles web debugging proxy. Can you provide a link?
