Description

Flowplayer has a special incantation to pause on the first frame after loading:

clip: {
  autoPlay: false,
  autoBuffering: true
}

With flashls the player gets stuck in loading state, see http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/flashls.html Can this be solved in flashls?

Research direction
The issue describes a bug where setting autoPlay: false and autoBuffering: true with a splash image in Flowplayer causes the player to get stuck in loading state when using flashls. To investigate, examine the flashls source code, particularly the handling of autoBuffering and the loading state transitions. Look for any conditional logic that might conflict when autoPlay is false but autoBuffering is true. Testing with different Flowplayer configurations and flashls versions may help isolate the problem. The maintainer may need to provide guidance on expected behavior.
