Question

Choppy video on blazing fast connection

Hi, we just set up FMS and basically what's happening is im using the standard run-of-the mill FLVplayback component and I try to run a video (an MP4) file which is streamed through FMS. The video plays, but intermittently chops.

Next test:

Akamai SMIL file with sthe same player plays totally smoothe, no problems.

Next test:

Put new video on FMS server (video chops intermittently) - we  then go right next to the server, with literally a 300K second download speed. Still chops.

Next test:

Try different media, same thing.

So essentially the FMS server CANNOT stream any videos properly. Its not a bandwidth issue, and it makes no sense.

I try different video players, tried changing the bufferTime properties, same thing. The FMS server is running at 0% cpu and is a fast machien.

Any ideas? FMS settings I can do to get optimal performance?

    I've encoded 4 different videos at different bitrates, 300k, 600k, 900k, 1400k. All play totally fine when played locally. When they get streamed they chop.

    I then take a piece of media from Adobe, encoded H264 MP4 file and this plays totally fine locally, but when streamed from FMS chops completely.

    I can then play a video from Akamai's FMS server, no issue and smoothe.Same video will play differently on our FMS server.
