Hello,

I've got the mp3 player built in to pages throughout my site. Recently we had a bug reported to us. The player begins the mp3, then at about the 3 second mark will start all over again. Below is a url that illustrates the issue. Seems like this is a new issue as things worked file until last week or so. Thanks.

Hello Tim,

I've checked your page on IE8, FF 5, Safari and Opera latest version and I didn't experienced the issue you are describing.
Please, provide info on the browser used.

It looks to me like this is a Firefox and MP3 player issue. Testing in other browsers is ok. In FF the skip happens in the 3.* browsers, 5.0.1 (maybe other 5.* too, and 6.

On the page I sent, if you click on the *.mp3 link, the skip does not happen. Just when the mp3 plays through the flash player.

We did finally figure out that the player was being impacted by our use of Google translate. The player loaded sooner than Translate and this is what causes the stutter start in Firefox.

We inserted the following delay into the Player Area and now things work fine.

setTimeout('player1.write("dv_player1"', 2000);

Hello Tim,

Thank you for this follow up.
