Hi Metavid folks,
David with OpenCongress here - at Aphid's direction I'm posting a small FlowPlayer related issue to the list. (Apologies if this is a dupe in any way, I looked in the Jan. archives beforehand to check.)
I'm on Mac 10.5.6 using FF 3.0.5. Starting on this sample page on our dev server ::
http://dev.opencongress.org/person/videos/400080_john_conyers
... playing the first video on the page, "Title: House proceeding 10-02-08 0:25:39 to 0:29:15", if a user drags the video playback progress bar towards the center of the video (to skip ahead), the video playback remains dimmed, as it is when FlowPlayer first loads a video. This dimness obtains whether a user has started playing the video & skips ahead, or not started playing the video & skips ahead. Sound playback appears to be fine.
In Safari v.3.2.1, user is not allowed to grab the FlowPlayer progress bar & skip ahead in video, at least we found that to be the case, it just restarts the video
Ideal behavior for our users would be able to skip ahead in videos w/ no dimness & with the time to which they're skipped ahead displayed in the regular FlowPlayer time section.
Hope this was a useful little report, certainly no biggie, hit me up anytime for more deets, my contact info is below.
Thanks, -David

thanks for the report. lack of undimming video post a seek (after a play) issue is fixed.
the safari issue was much tricker to track down... apparently safari does not give proper parent container attribute data to jQuery draggable element without the float property applied to the child node which is odd because the child element is relatively positioned and it works in Firefox and IE...
but anyway...Both issues have been patched and tested on safari, firefox, IE and pushed out to metavid.org let me know if you find any other issues.
