FLV Videos not playing on the latest version of the flash player (11.2.202.233)

Hi

I recently upgraded my flash plugin on Mozilla to version 11.2.202.233.  Since them a lot of  video content I create no longer plays, audio is still heard and plays fine.  These videos previously played fine on 11.1.102.63and earlier versions of the flash player plugin.

Each problem  video has been encoded with 2 separate SPS/PPS Nals in the AVC Decoder configuration record.  This allows me to send 2 slighlty different AVC Slice NAL over HTTP  depending on network conditions.  What I seee happening is that the video content relating to the first SPS/PPS entrys doesnt play but content using the 2nd SPS/PPS entry plays just fine.

These same videos play just fine on 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions of the flash player plugin, see http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp _11.1.102.

I can supply a sample video if required.

Is this a bug in the player? As it used to work and H264 analyser I use (H264Visa) has no problems with thses flash videos.

Flash Version: 11.2.202.233    flash version

OS: Windows 7 (32-bit)

Thanks

Declan

P.S I posted this same issue on another category that was only read only it said by mistake

Hi Declan,

It sounds like it's a bug.  Could you try this against Flash Player 11.3 beta 2, which we just released to see if it also occurs there?  If it does, please go ahead and open a new bug at bugbase.adobe.com and attach a copy of your dxdiag report and a link to some sample media.  Please post back with the bug URL and I'll investigate internally.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris

Thanks for looking into this, much appreciated.

Upgraded to Flash Player 11.3 beta 2 as recommended but still see the problem Im afraid. 

Opened a new bug as suggested, bug details can be found at this URL https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3169988

Included the "dxddiag" output to the bug as well as a video sample URL, let me know if you need more information.

Thanks

Declan

Thank you for posting the bug report (excellent detail btw).  Could you try two things for me please?

1.  Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player?

2.  I noticed your video drivers were dated 2010.  Could you update to the latest NVidia drivers to see if they help?
