Diagnosing Slowness

I'm trying to use the new stepping to add 2x, 4x, 8x playback options to my player.  They were working fine, but lately have begun to be very laggy.  How do I go about diagnosing this?  The administrative console isn't printing any messages, and my client isn't have any errors.

    Hi,

    When you say you are using controls to play video 2x, 4x and 8x can you tell how you are achieving it. I believe you are using NetStream.Step API and are stepping certain number of frames based on your frame rate. In this case what is the buffer length that you have set on the player? In case your buffer length is small or video is taking longer to buffer due to bandwidth issues you may be seeing this lag as stepping at high rates may be clearing your buffer faster than your player fills up the buffer. Try using a higer buffer time and see if that works for you.

    Thanks,
