Default Brightcove issues with Google Chrome

After installing the Google Chrome browser, I checked my sites to see if there was anything that wasn't working.

I use the Brightcove service to host Flash video on a couple sites. It's been pretty reliable and highly rated, used by cable companies like AMC for their online content.

Perhaps it's because I have the Brightcove player embedded using javascript, but it takes forever to load in Chrome. I actually thought it wouldn't load at all, but I went away for a few minutes and it worked when I came back. This goes for my individual Brightcove videos that I have peppered throughout my site as well.

Check it here: http://maddogmovies.com

So, what to do? I may try Brightcove's other embedding options. (I think iframe is one, can't remember the others.) Hopefully, Chrome issue updates that fix javascript embeds like this, but I can't count on it.

A bad sound in the start of the movie. There are streaming problems in Chrome and IE 6.X.

No problems in FF and Opera.

No problem with IE on a second try.

Minor streaming problem with Chrome on a second try.

Total load time for me on Chrome was 2 seconds (approx). It came up slightly faster than on Firefox.

So no one else has to wait minutes like I did? I'll have to try it again on a different system perhaps.
