i found a problem with your addon flashgot 1.3.6 on FF 8-9.0.1 on the site vkontakte.ru or vk.com

the problem is that when you open the media on this site, such as music or video, and when you restart your browser or refresh the page, this site can not read the cache of downloaded music or video, and pops up an reading error. Only helps to reset the cache of browser, please correct this misunderstanding, 2 weeks ago was nothing like this.

Investigating, thanks.

There was a recent change there, if I'm recalling correctly, like when you refreshed the page, the clip would not replay & yes you might need to clear cache & or revisit the page. Wonder if that coincided with the FlashGot 1.3.6 update?

Easy enough to plug in 1.3.5 & try ...

On some clips, & this has only been lately, if I start playback, perhaps jump forward into the clip, then ... click a link opening another page, then back-arrow & click Play again, I would get a message like (to the effect of) "not found".

Not getting it at the moment on here: http://vkontakte.ru/video-5282440_161595228

And actually when this has occurred, it was FlashGot Media that has alerted me to the fact that the clip was in fact there (as FM could be used to download it).

Of late, the method used to scroll down a "wall" has changed.

(Last year, heh) other then a couple times where I've jumped forward in a clip & either the clip "hung" at that point, or took a VERY long time before it eventually resumed, I have not been able to duplicate earlier observances. Reloading the page now works as expected, with no longer any need to deal with /cache/.

Thinking what was seen was due to updates to the website itself, that now look to be resolved?

No,the problems with audio/video content and audio notifications is still actual...

I've run into it again.
Basically what it (the Flash message) says (I think) is something to the effect of, "not found".
Though it is in fact there.
The FlashGot Media Icon (though not shown in my shot) is there & would successfully capture the clip.

yes you right! the site is notifiying that file not found or error, but this file in cache!!

fixed in 1.3.7 !!
FlashGot Media now reuses the streaming video cache directly for instantaneous downoads, when possible.

gracios)

I can confirm that a similar problem disappeared when upgrading to Flashgot to 1.3.7.

For me the problem was easily repeatable:
1. load http://colm.tk/micalizzi-cama/webplayer.yahooapis.html
2. let the first song load in cache (notice the progress meter in the player)
3. Hit F5: the first song never plays (BUG)
4. clear Firefox cache (Tools>Options>Privacy...): the first song plays again

Basically Flashgot was interfering with the cache: the media file was in cache but Firefox could not access it.
This happened only when the media file was loaded by a Flash object.
