streaming error in as3 chromless player
Some video will fail to load in AS3 chromless player although it plays fine on youtube site. I have checked that those videos aren’t disabled for embedded player. The same thing not only happen to my player, it also happens to the demo player on youtube demo page. The recent example is video WkRP4shFX0g. I just tried and it failed on youtube demo page (around 2:35 pst). The problem seems to be intermittent. I have played this video successfully in as3 chromeless player before but sometimes it will fail and there is no error event fired in youtube chromless player. If I take a look at the protocol trace, the request after api_video_info is player_204 (indicating streamingerror) instead of the normal get_video request. Can you shed some light on what happened ? Can you at least generate an error event in this case ?

I found the reason for this problem. LoadVideoById is supposed to load video and play it but it doesn’t happen for some video. You have to issue a separate command to make it play. Example video id WkRP4shFX0g. This is verified on youtube demo site for as3 chromeless player. What’s the reason for this ? Any idea how many vidoes behave this way ?
Hello,
I’ve opened an issue with the YouTube Players API engineering team to investigate further.
