VPAIDFLash.swf doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

I am using similar code both for development version (where VPAIDFlash.swf is located locally) and production version (VPAIDFlash.swf on a server - nginx as reverse proxy). I am able to play Flash based creative locally but not in production version. It gives AD ERROR: VAST Error: on VASTClient.getVASTAd.validateAd, could not find MediaFile that is supported by this video player i {message: "VAST Error: on VASTClient.getVASTAd.validateAd, co… MediaFile that is supported by this video player", code: 403} [a]

Only thing that has changed is the path of VPAIDFlash.swf. Even tested the same behaviour on Amazon S3 😦 any solution

@lpender the flashTester is async by nature since is doing the following: load a swf, if the swf is able to exchange messages with the js then pass the test (I’m doing this since swfobject will give false positives when Firefox blocks flash when is not the latest version).

So if you are playing a video in autoplay or “too soon” will not use flash in the first play. If is this what is happening, then I can had a feature to by default assumes that flash can play (if swfobject test pass and in the background really test if is true or not)

Is there a way to kill this flash loader dependency? Flash is pretty much dead thankfully.
