Hi,
=20
I am using an FLV Playback component inn my file for streaming videos
from FMS. I need to changes the videos on the click of a button. This I
have achieved by changing the contentPath parameter dynamically. The
contentPath values are coming from an XML file.
If I place the FLV Playback component on the stage, it shows the first
video but when I try to move to the next video on clicking Next, The
video does not play.
Currently I have made it work by using the attachMovie() function and
not keeping the FLV Playback component on the stage.
I am using Flash 8 Professional and FMS 2.
=20
Could I be missing something?
=20
Regards,
Aasim Momin

Aasim,

It's hard to know w/o seeing some key code. What is the code for
getting data from the XML file and passing it to the contentPath?
Once you're sure that you're getting the right FLV name from the XML
file, it sounds like a pretty straightforward problem, but like you I
may be missing some complexity in your application. I'm assuming
you're using the XML class for reading the XML file, no?

When you call the second file, what syntax do you use? Do you specify the
filename.flv or just filename (no .flv)?

If you are using .flv for the first video then try subsequent ones without
it:
second url: rtmp://myserver/flv_test/disco
and not rtmp://myserver/flv_test/disco.flv

Load the first one using .flv extension.

Stefan,

Thanks! Your solution has surely worked out.
The videos do play now without the .flv extension.

I presume that this is a bug with FLVPlayback, it shouldn't require this
workaround.
Glad it works for you.

Stefan

I have a hunch this is related to a problem I have with access log analysis.
 The
lack of extensions reported there makes it really hard to analyze for file
access. How is a log analyzer supposed to know that /disco is actually a mov
ie
file and not an mp3, or even a file at all and not part of the path?

I'm trying to use Funnelweb with these logs and really am getting nowhere.
Funnelweb is quite flexible (works well with Real, Quicktime, Windows Media 
and
web logs), even lets me add the .flv extension as a media type, but it does 
not
recognize most of the fields in the log. And even if I hack the logs manuall
y by
adding extensions, it seems to ignore file access and most other columns. Do
es
anyone know of a tool that actually works with these logs?

Peter

Hi all,

Just a reminder, FMS lets you name the files whatever you want - the way
you specify type of playback is like so

flv:streamName

not=20

streamName.flv

why?  Because oddly enough streamName.flv.mp3 is a valid name of an mp3
file - but it becomes rather difficult for the server to tell how to
play this file then.  We'd have to build rules and what not, so it's
rather unpleasant.

mp3:streamName will play a file called streamName.mp3 sitting on disk. =20

Before you say, 'when did all this happen' - it's been that way since
1.5.  I realize it's not as pneumonic as it might be, but hey them's the
breaks.  BTW the flv: type on the front of a stream playback is assumed
if not included, so usually for flv's you don't have to include a type
specifier.

Cheers,
Asa
