JWPlayer : issue in stop and play using javascript

Question

I am using jwplayer to play videos on my site. I want to implement this scenario :

• A small thumb nail image represent the video.
• when a user click on the thumb image the jwplayer div shows and starts to play and the thumb image will hide .
• An external close button will allow to close the video. Then the thumb image will show again.

I am trying to accomplish it by using js. The following is used to play the video:

   jwplayer('container').play();

and this is used to stop the jwplayer:

   jwplayer('container').stop();

The functions are working in chrome . But in firefox when I try to play the video in second time the jwplayer is in BUFFERING state. Also revert back to the placeholder image.

also shows an error sometime in console

Error: Permission denied to access property 'toString'

This is a sample jsfiddle demo

Please help me to find a solution for this.

Thanks

YouTube now defaults to HTML5 mode as primary in 6.9.

There are some issues with setting up the player again with YouTube in HTML5 mode.

I have reported this as an issue to the player team here.

A work around, for now, is in your code, under this line:

stretching: 'exactfit',

Add:

primary: 'flash',

This should work around the issue for the time being.
