Description

When OVA is configured with a live stream it seems to force the playlist to endlessly loop.

Actually the issue isn't live stream specific.

It's created with this type of flashvar setup:

flashvars="plugins=../../../../dist/swf/ova.swf&config=../../../config/ad-formats/http/ova02.xml&file= http://streaming.openvideoads.org/shows/the-black-hole.mp4&duration=30&provider=video&autostart=true"

Here the "autostart" is specified as a JW Player flashvar that causes endless looping - e.g.

flashvars="plugins=../../../../dist/swf/ova.swf&config=../../../config/ad-formats/http/ova02.xml&file= http://streaming.openvideoads.org/shows/the-black-hole.mp4&duration=30&provider=video&autostart=true&repeat=none"

By adding "repeat=none" should stop it, but for some reason OVA is causing that to be ignored - that's the issue.

Fixed.

When OVA for JW5 now initialises it looks to see if there is an "autostart" flashvar set. If so, the "autoPlay" OVA config is set.

"autostart" will be maintained if "repeat=always" is also set in the flashvars otherwise autostart is then set to false stopping the looping.
