Jw Player stops after a few seconds in Firefox - firefox

Question

On chrome it works ok.
My flash version is WIN 10,0,32,18
Debug: No
This is the code that i wrote:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="player">
Get the Flash Player
to see this player.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('player.swf', 'streambaby', '500', '15', '7');
so.addVariable('type', 'sound');
so.addVariable('file', 'http://path_to_shoutcast:port');
so.addVariable('displayheight', '15');
so.write('player');
</script>
The problem is that on chrome the stream works OK but on Firefox 3.5.2 it stopps after a few seconds.
I opened Firebug and hit the Net tab and I see that even after the playing stopps, firefox still downloads the stream.
I've searched on google and found answeres that said I should update my flash plugin, but it's the latest.

Answer 1

I managed to bypass this problem with adding
so.addVariable('duration','-1');
Before so.write, so the script becomes:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('player.swf', 'streambaby', '500', '15', '7');
so.addVariable('type', 'sound');
so.addVariable('file', 'http://path_to_shoutcast:port');
so.addVariable('displayheight', '15');
so.addVariable('duration','-1');
so.write('player');
</script>

Answer 2

Just for reference, I had a similar issue while streaming .nsv in Firefox with JW Player. It would only stream about a quarter of a second. I accidentally defined an invalid duration and it started to stream correctly. I ended up using this code:
so.addVariable('duration','invalid');
This works for me in Firefox, IE and Chrome.
