Image freezes when using VLC plug-in

[samuels_sv]

I have a web page that has the VLC embedded in it. Using FF or IE on a Windows XP machine, the plug-in works great.

And it works great using Safari on a Mac (with OS X) for the most part.

However, the video window (or plug-in) is only visible on certain parts of my web page. Javascript controls whether the plug-in is visible or not.

With Safari, when the user flips to a portion of the page in which the video stream is stopped and the window is hidden, Safari will grab a frozen snapshot of the last frame of the video stream and will lock that image on top of the web page from that point on. I have to close the browser to clear the frozen image.

If I restart the stream, then the video replaces the frozen image as it should.

Anyone have any idea as to why? I am running the most recent version of the VLC Plug-in as well.

Thanks.
