Small bug or is it me?

    On Firefox 34, if I have an endofvideooverlay with a .png, once it shows at the end of video if I press play to replay the video, it doesn’t clear and the .png seems to stay on top of the video, so only the audio can be heard. On Chrome it doesn’t happen, the video plays fine the second time. Haven’t tried on IE. Can this be due to the codec used in the video? (.mov H264 AVC1)
    Does this also have to do with the video not playing on Android? What is the 100% recommended codec or variation of H264?
    I have options to encode on MPEG4 Divx/Xvid compatible, H.264/AVC and H.264/AVC (Intel). Filetypes: .3gp rel4, rel5 and relA, 3g2, 3g MP4, mp4iso v1 and v2, mp4 PSP, m4v iPod

    Awesome plugin BTW, congratulations!!

    I think Firefox has changed a few JavaScript things recently and I haven’t been keeping up with this plugin as much as I used to. I’ve created a GitHub issue to remind myself to check it. I have seen problems with pngs in video elements before, so you might want to change that to a jpg. It probably won’t make a difference, but it’s worth a shot.

    Android is really picky about H.264 formats. And not every Android device plays the same videos. It’s best to encode H.264 baseline profile, level 3.1. If you don’t have that option in your encoder, use Handbrake. And make sure you turn on the “Web optimized” option. Also, a lot of Android devices can’t play 1080p.

    Thanks, changing the .png to .jpg did the trick, although the image’s size is about double. Blah. Encoding in H264 baseline 3.1 didn’t work on Chrome under Android, 640×480 video, oh well… ??

    You might also need to change something about the audio encoding. 48kHz AAC LC stereo with a constant bitrate is the best option. If you want better advice feel free to send me a link to your video and I can help troubleshoot it.

    I finally looked into this bug and I can actually duplicate it any time I hit play after the end overlay image appears in Chrome and Firefox, whether it’s a JPG or PNG. I fixed it in the development version on Github and it will be fixed in the next release.
