Video played in a overlay window, managed with jQuery, don't stop playing when the overlay is closed.
Video played in a overlay window, managed with jQuery, don't stop playing when the overlay is closed. I am using jQuery Tools for opening nice popups with video inside. When the overlay is closed, either by clicking on the close button or away from the box, the video/audio playback stops. It works fine on Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox 12 and previous. It doesn't work in Firefox 13 and 14 (along with IE). What has changed? How can I solve the issue without having to remake all the video I manage this way?

Hello,
can you please give me some example code. Probably best if you upload it to Mozilla Pastebin. Then I can take a look and file a bug report if necessary..

That can be a problem with the plugin-container process.

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Thank you for your reply. I did update flash while still on FF 12 and had no problem, than updated to FF 14 and thigs stopped from working. Thus, I don't think flash is involved, but I'll check the documentation for sure, thank again.
Tobbi, you can see the working site at http://www.simonavignali.it/, just click on one of the video images on the let column; if you start the video playback than close the overlay, you will see the problem. Here's the pastebin link to see the html code for the actual overlay. http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1663266 . Thank you for your reply, best regards.
Hello, since Firefox verison 13 I encountered this problem: an embedded Youtube video played inside an overlay window doesn't automatically stop when the window is closed. The overlay is powered by the common jQuery Tools library, and works well on Chrome, Sfarai, Opera. It used to work as well with Firefox prior to version 13. Anyone had the same problem? Thank you!
Hey Carlo,
I have the exact same issue. In an earlier version of FF I didn't have this problem. Did you already find a solution?
Is it possible to stop streams as a javascript function??
THanks in advance!
Using jQuery UI tabs USED to stop media, like videos, from playing when clicking to the next tab, this no longer occurs. EVERY other browser (except IE as usual) has this working correctly, but until recently Firefox no longer stops things from playing.
What is going on and why does Firefox suck more and more?
