My issue relates to IE8(latest flash version installed) and the flash fallback player: playing one or two videos seems to work fine, however after a seemingly random amount of clicks the video will stop playing or loop the first one or two seconds, after that the player is pretty much broken until a page refresh.

Strangely this issue doesn't happen with firefox (which also uses the flash player)

Also worth noting that the original file extensions of the movies were .mov, which seemed to break ie9, but literally just changing the extension to mp4 fixed those issues.

Please find live code at http://friezestockfootage.friezeartfair.com and dev code - where im playing around with the code a bit etc here http://www.friezestockfootage.dev.weareeverywhere.co.uk/

Sorry if this is vague, let me know if you require any more information!

Thanks for what i feel is the best video plugin by the way!
