ActionScript 3.0 :: When Netstream.time Updated / When Seek?
Feb 17, 2009
The problem is that I have an fla video player that uses the netstream class in order to pull a stream (mp4 h264), I've tried this with a few different mp4 files and they all behave the same..Basically, when I goto seek to a position, say 10 seconds into a 300 second mp4, the movie buffer goes blank and my readout of the current time I can see climbing from around 7 seconds and keeps going all the way to the end.. almost as if the seek command is trying to find a keyframe where it can resume from..I'm using http (not rtmp), and thus streaming directly from naive http.After awhile I decided to use the FLVPlayback component, set the source to the same, and it read in some initial metadata.. when I try the movie with the FLVPlayback component I can pause, seek resume to any position without problem, at first I was thinking the problem might have been http related but if the FLVPlayback component works then I'm a little stuck..Also note that I've checked the seekpoints of the movies and there are TONS of them, so the seek command should be able to find a nearby seekpoint to where I suggest.

I am using OSMF v1.0 along with FMS 3.5.3 and flash player 10.1. Whenever i do a seek, lets say to a time 't'. Netstream.time gives me an incorrect result which is more than 1.5*t (varies). So if i seek to 100, i get netstream.time as approx. 160. I also noticed, 'NetStream.info.VideoBufferLength' goes very high (from around 3-4 to 50-60) just before the Netstream.time parameter gets updated and drops backs after update.

I am working on an app that will take a snapshot of an rtmp stream of an archived video, save it to a file, and ExternalInterface the file name to the hosting page to javascript it up for display.
I actually have all pieces working great. The only time an error is thrown is when I pause the video, seek to somewhere, and then try to take a snapshot. Then there is a runtime error of:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: mySwf.swf cannot access rtmp://myFlashServer/myApp. No policy files granted access.I've seen post after post of suggestions and have tried them, but without success.
I have the crossdomain.xml and my FlashMediaServer security setup fine (it is actually working, except for this one glitch). It just seems to be the pause-then-seek-then-BitMapData.draw() combination which is creating issues.
Another weird thing: after the error is thrown, if I resume the stream and take a snapshot, it works flawlessly again.

When working with MOV files using the h.264 codec and AAC sound I am unable to get netStream.seek to work correctly. No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0. I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flvs work perfectly on both players.

I have a series of movie clips (flv's). All are the same movie clip of a rotating object but it's different colour in each clip.When one clip is playing and I click to play another, I would like the clicked movie clip to start playing from the same position at which the previous clip was at. So if a clip had played for 3 seconds and I click a different clip, I would like it to seek and play from 3 seconds instead of 0.[code]Can anyone tell me how I would go about tracking the data of how many seconds of a clip has played?My guess is that it will either be metadata or NetStatusEvent related.

I am working on a Flash Video player and am implementing the ability to start a video at x time within the span of an FLV (served from FMS). I am able to start it x seconds into a stream without any issue using
netStream.play(source, startTime);
but as far as I can tell, it only supports seconds. I am looking to be able to give a start time (or even a seek time if that is supported) in milliseconds, or really anything more precise than whole seconds.
Anyone know of any way to achieve this even by monkey patching the fl classes?

I'm trying to play an FLV using the Netstream class - standard stuff, really using nothing more complex than things you can find in the help files. I've created a control panel with a bar you can use to click and drag and scrub through the video.
Exporting to Flash Player 9, it's working fine and I can scrub through the video, but only while the FLV is still loading. As soon as it hits 100% the scrubbing (using Netstream.seek()) becomes incredibly unresponsive, almost to the point of crashing the player.
I've killed all ENTER_FRAMES, removed all unnecessary listeners and nullified everything I can think of but something massively resource-intensive seems to be kicking in as soon as the load finishes.
Has anyone ever seen this? I've never come across this and can't find anything similar across assorted forums.
Code below but I don't think the mouse-move drag actions are the problem! Fine in the Flash CS4 IDE, broken in the browser.
// Drag
private function dragVideo(e:MouseEvent):void {
// Match the x position of the dragger to the x position of the mouse
videoControls.progressBar.dragger.x = videoControls.progressBar.barInner.mouseX;

I am implementing a video player in Actionscript and I need to be able to define the starting play time for the videos. Netstream.seek(pos) works for flv files but fails for H.264 files (the player starts playing the video from the beginning). Anyone knows what might be the problem? (I am using Netstream for this instead of adding a parameter with the starting time when I call the Netstream.play method because I don't have Flash Media Server).

I have a "video on demand" video that I'd like to seek at any point of the video. It's playing on a Motorola Xoom tablet. I can seek to the beginning of the video when the playhead is near the beginning. However, if I the playhead is towards the end of the video and I attempt to seek to the beginning of the video, the video seeks many seconds after the start of the video. I thought this might be a buffering issue, so I set inBufferSeek to true, but I still have the same issue.

I made an interface that laods a FLV video (as far as I know this is progressive download as I'm not using any Flash Media server or whatever).The point is that I added a Button on the stage with the following code:
on (release) { _root.stream_ns.seek(15); }
I also have a event catcher like this in the main timeline:
stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) { if (infoObject["code"] == "NetStream.Seek.InvalidTime") { _root.text_display = "Not loaded yet"; }}

Is there a particular reason that when you stream a video your _netStream.time will misreport the elapsed time of the stream? I've tested streaming vs progressive download and discovered that while progressive netStream.time seems spot-on accurate the streaming netStream.time is behind the actual running time of the flv.
In other words, the video has played to completion and stopped, but the seek bar has only progressed 85% of the way through on a stream.
Is this something to do with the sample rate of the video, or some other encoding issue?

I have a custom video player I've built and have been adding a seek function to it lately. I ran into an issue where seeking backward in the timeline stalled my timecode. I could seek forward and my timecode updated as expected, but seeking backward, my timecode would stall at the current time before the seek was requested. I run a function on netStream.time() in order to set my timecode.

I've been toying around with this RepublicOfCode tutorial and changed a few things here and there.For example, I wanted a play/pause button in stead of seperate buttons. And I wanted a stop button so people can actually stop the music.Now here lies the problem, play/pause works BUT after I've stopped the music, the music will start again with the play button but it wont pause, it will just start the song again and again and again... On a side note, I wanna try to add a volume slider, seek bar, time remaining, and possible (if i can figure it out, probably also has to do with the XML) a playlist.[code]

I have used the Dvrcast application with FLVPlayback 2.5.0.26 for playing the dvr video.I have successfully achieved the dvr functionality with that application but i don't know how to update the seekbar max time (ex: while I play the video it the video length say for example 3min after i play the video it is keep on increasing the length since its dvr publishing will continue in other hand).It shows the max time of video when I enter to play the video not the current length of the video. I need the help to achieve this function.

I am developing a video player for FMS 3.0 and my client complains that when he leaves the player running overnight or after computer goes to sleep when he comes back the elapsed time displayed as NaN and when he tries to play, nothing happens. Why is this happening? Does it mean that the connection with the FMS dropped and I have to reconnect? How can test for the dropped connection?

So Im trying to get the current time (play head time) for a video on the stage and am using Netstream. I have a timer with an event listener pinging a function every 1000ms. But it is not smooth and the numbers jump a bit.
Is there a way to attach an event listener to the netstream time itself?
I tried ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.time, monitorTime); but as you probably know that Dog wont hunt.

I have a video player that doesnt have "seek from unloaded time" functionality. I want to add it now, but i am having headaches. I sipmly load video like this; stream.play("vidurl.flv"); (pseudo streaming)
Server side is ready. I can call videos like videourl.flv?start=xxx but cant play them in player cuz video comes without metadata
To sum up;
1. stream.play("vidurl.flv"); works, video plays
2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. i get the position and convert it to seconds
stream.play("vidurl.flv?start=10"); doesnt work! no metadata what i should do after?

I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >

I am streaming a playlist of multiple mp4 video files and have been experiencing strange netStream.time values when the buffering is set for an extra long time on slow connections.
For example, when starting the video, if I set the buffer to something like 90 seconds, while filling the buffer netStream.time reads 0. The second the buffer is full, instead of reading 0,1,2 +++ it jumps to a really high value, in this case 53535 and sticks there until the video, which seems to play correctly from the begining ,catches up to that time and then starts incrementing as it should. What's odd about this is that the time the netStream.time gets stuck to always corresponds to the end/begining point between two streams in the playlist. For whatever reason this always seems to be the third video in the playlist. IF I seek to a new location, it re buffers, and then the time properly is stuck at the time that corresponds to the end of the 4th stream.
If the connection is relatively fast and the buffer is set to a smaller value, I never see any issues.
I know netStream.time is notoriously buggy, but something tells me there is more going on here.

I am streaming a playlist of multiple mp4 video files with flash 9 and FMS 3 and have been experiencing strange netStream.time values when the buffering is set for an extra long time on slow connections. When I have my buffer set to something like 60 seconds I'll start experiancing this problem:
the NetStream.time value will return 0 on progress events while buffering, but the moment the buffer is full, instead of reading 0,1,2 +++ it jumps to a really high value, in this case 53.5 seconds, and sticks there until the video (which seems to play correctly from the beginning) catches up to that time and then the netStream.time starts incrementing as it should.
Another relevant fact is that the time the netStream.time gets stuck to always corresponds to the end/begining point between two streams in the playlist. For whatever reason this usually seems to be the third video in the playlist. If the connection is relatively fast and the buffer is set to a smaller value,
