Hi, having a problem with the flash player (both Low and high) in firefox (v3.0.1). I'm running on XP Pro 2002 SP2.

Some shows ( ie TRS eps 73 - http://revision3.com/trs/inevitableinjury/ ) will only play properly in IE (I am running v6) or if I download it (usually quicktime HD).

When I try to view the stream in Firefox (by clicking either the PLAY symbol in the middle of the video OR the PLAY button along the bottom) it shows the green "cylon eye" bubles as it buffers for a second but then jumps directly to the goDaddy commercial with Martin. If I watch that commercial and click the play a second time, it starts the show but with sound only (the image on the screen is same static image it shows when you first go to the page). If I click forward somewhere on the slider to later in the show... it jumps to that point in sound only. When I click PAUSE though, I get a flash of the image that correlates to the point at which its playing but the shows jumps back to the begininng again and only in sound.

Any ideas?

What version of Flash are you running? If you don't already know, type in "about:plugins" in the Firefox address bar.

It's Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124

I am not able to reproduce this problem running Windows XP with Firefox 3.0.1 and Flash 9.0 r124. I am able to watch the stream w/o any issues.
