I have Flash 9,0,115,0 and it works according to the test on the adobe website. However, when I try to play google videos, they start and stop and and freeze. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Joe2300,

    FMS3 Linux installer has executable of flvcheck tool and in fact it seems that it can actually fix such files with incorrect or no duration Metadata information. I got to know this from the documentations.

    - I guess, FLVCheck.exe comes only inside the FMS 3.0 installer.

    - If your video have such problem of missing metadata OR invalid structure; then it should be possible to fix them some appropriate tool. (may be after re-encoding them :-) ).

    ohh.. FLVcheck is available with FMS3 though.
    Actually, it might be possible that some progressive video don't play with FMS in case the metadata information is no properly filled in the file.

    Is there a way to get a hold of this tool or any similar "before" I install FMS 3.0. I'm glad I didn't install it last weekend. I didn't know there were some risks of not playing my current flv's. Now, I want to check all of my flv's before I make the move...

    Also, is there any chance at all, that the start/stop/start/stop condition in all my videos (under FMS 2) after 2 connections could be blamed on the player? I have a custom made player. Can you point me to the right resources?

    I'm fairly new to this technology and really appreciate your time in answering my questions.

    Thanks,

    what does tools/flvcheck.exe says? This tool can be used to verify the sanity of an flv file.

    How do you get "tools/flvcheck.exe" ??? I have FMS 2 and this is not part of my tools folder. Perhaps FMS 3?

    Thanks,
