Question

Hello, I am new to Flash. I have recently installed FMIS 3.5.3. In checking the access logs I find data in both logs that display the same stream stop and stream play time . I'm not sure why the time is the same (00:19:27 example below). Videos play fine when testing from work (T3 connection). However, occasionally a very slight hesitation when playing video from home (I have cable connection).

    Hi,

    From the logs what is apparent is that the play event on the same content gets started and stopped several times. I was wondering what actions are you performing on the client side while viewing the stream which is causing play and stop events in a loop.

    I think you may be laying VOD content, is that correct?

    It would help if you could explain your usage so it would give some clue as to what may be happening.

    Are you using the sample player which comes with FMS or a custom subscriber app?

    As you see several play & stop events getting logged, do you observe the play getting stopped and then resume again on client side?

    And all this while the netconnection is intact and has got closed?

    Which Flash Player version are you using?

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Mamata,

    I am using the VOD service to stream videos. I found some code on the adobe site (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html) to work with playlist. I also use this code for launching individual movies (no playlist displayed). This playlist application uses a custom-made player.

    I observed a video play without any problems (no hesitation) and then checked the access log:

    Hi Frank

    Would it be possible for you to send me your client side flash application which you use to connect to vod app on FMS and stream from there? My email id is vkarna@adobe.com

    I wanted to look at the usage that's causing the access.00.log traces you see.

    Thanks

    Mamata
