flowplayer load and unload issue

Question

I'm using a latest flowplayer, and i'ved created couple of buttons that provides video source from cdn. With the click event the player should load the video source dynamically. But for some reason flowplayer cant unload and load the source of video properly. Instead I get the following error

html5: Video file not found

function flow(source) {
        jQuery("#flow").flowplayer().unload();
        jQuery("#flow").flowplayer().load(source);
    }

alternatively I've tried to re-init the flowplayer with every click, but sometime the initial video get loaded instead of the clicked video source. After couple of clicks the flowplayer also get stuck on loading screen.

Is there a particular browser you are using? As they all played for me using Chrome — Colin Bacon

If you are using chrome for this purpose then from here . Chrome and Flow Player dose not go well together.

Native fullscreen is supported in Chrome 15+, Safari 5.1+ and Firefox 14+ and others will use full browser window. In Firefox 9+ the fullscreen is disabled and needs to be manually enabled at about:config (full-screen-api.enabled;true).
Some Chrome versions have issues with playing MP4 content. Workaround: List a WEBM before the MP4 source and/or set preload="none" as video tag attribute.
Chrome gets stuck when trying to load the same video twice, even in two different tabs.
