Systemic Comment/Photo Upload/Video Play Back Problems
ISSUE SUMMARY: Just over-all issues with what I think is Javascript related. Elements of the site seem to hang and stop loading, leading to functionality that doesn't work across the Jomsocial component of the site.
STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 Try to play videos, refresh if necessary to see play button appear or is missing
2 Try to post a status on front page, sometimes it loads, sometimes partially loads or not at all
3 Try to post comments in other areas and sometimes it loads, sometimes partially loads or not at all
4 Try to upload images as part of albums and for some visitors hangs and does nothing, leaving empty albums

RESULT
EXPECTED RESULT Aspects of the site only work maybe 50-60% of the time
BROWSER Firefox (latest)
Please, try to disable jchoptimize plugin and check if everything back to normal.

regarding your video, it must cache issue. I tried to reproduce the issue at my end. but I cant replicate it.
please try to turn off:
Gzip compression and joomla cache from joomla global configuration
and JCH optimize plugin
Thanks Albertus, it is a curious issue. I tested everything tonight just before disabling everything and like you I had no problems. Then after disabling everything - still no problems. The video play button seems to work in both configurations (both Gzip and compression on or off and clearing the cache), yet I didn't do anything to the admin to alter the functionality. There is still a short lag time before the button shows up but it does appear now consistently. Is there anything else you want me to try? I think I will mark this systemic issue as solved and I will post the minor problems (like photo count) in another thread. If it occurs again I will ask for help on this issue. Thank you for your help!
