The buffering animation is missing when the video loads for the very first time.
subsequent buffering requests and/or seeks using the scrubber work fine.
How to replicate?
bufferLength: 16,
startingBufferLength: 8,
autoPlay: true,
autoBuffering: true,
here, after 8 seconds of downloaded video it will autostart right? and during that waiting period you 'should' see the buffering animation. In my tests, I do NOT see the buffering animation. in previous versions of FlowPlayer (e.g 2.0.x) when the old animation was in place it did appear at the start of the video, now, it doesnt.
I forgot to mention that this problem only occurs with the 'commercial' version of FlowPlayer. If I try the GPL'ed version it shows the buffering animation, so it is clearly a problem with the commercial version only. My guess is there is some kind of conflict with the watermark and/or buffering animation?
