Embed not working in IE

[chanpa]

I am developing a site and I wanted try add some streams from JTV. It works fine in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. But not IE!
In IE the size of the object is quickly displayed and then it dissappears. When I view source, the object and all the parameters are there.

IE version: 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit edition (I just got this yesterday, don't know how it behaves in IE8)
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
URL: http://chanpa.myvnc.com/streams/view/1

Also, I wanted to know if there is a way to check if a channel is Live through the API. I couldn't find it in the documentation at JustinTVAPI(Might've missed it) but I saw swiftor have that feature. Can someone link me to some documentation on how to implement something similiar?

Thanks,
Chanpa

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Thanks for your post.

I will go ahead and test this later today, and get back to you.

The embed looks to be loading on IE 9 for me, Windows 7.

Can you screenshot? Also file a Bug Report so I can get some more advanced statistics.

At first the blank space above the text is as tall as the object is, then after <0.5 seconds it shrinks to that size.

There is no browser for IE9 on the bug report so I used IE8 for now.

I filed the bug Report under username Chanpa.

edit: The object originally looks like this with the PHP if it makes any difference:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="500" width="820" id="live_embed_player_flash" data="http://www.justin.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf?channel=<?php echo $streams['Stream']['name']?>">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.justin.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf">
<param name="flashvars" value="channel=<?php echo $streams['Stream']['name']?>&amp;auto_play=false&amp;start_volume=25">
</object>

Hi there,

I went through again and replicated your settings.

Interestingly it's appearing perfectly for me.

I would try uninstalling your Flash Player (for IE) and reinstalling it.

Let me know if that is fixing it for you.

It worked. Weird. Thank you for the help though!
