Loading Spinner Doesn't Show Before Video, Shows After Video Finished

[Miserlou]

Weird one!

Our videos shown with JS don't show the 'loading' spinner after the user clicks play, it just seems to hang until the video starts playing.. and when the video is finished, THEN the spinner pops up.

Any ideas?

ex:
https://openwatch.net/v/8/

Tested on FF, Chrome and Safari, Ubu1204 and OSX.

I just tested the page on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on Mac without issue. Are you seeing any specific errors in the js console?

Still happens with video.js 4 using flash player on Firefox. Video spinner doesn't play while video is loading (which takes a long time), but displays after video has finished. https://openwatch.net/w/raw

Hmm. It does take a bit to load that video. And Flash doesn't give any notice that it's trying to load the video, that I know of.

quick and dirty fix:

videojs("myVideoPlayerId").on("ended",function() {
   videojs("myVideoPlayerId").loadingSpinner.hide();
});

Heh, nice. We definitely still need to figure out what's going on with flash there.

I've split this out into the issues listed above, which are on the SWF repo specifically.
