Question

FLV plays in fast foward after buffer

I'm having all sorts of problems trying to get streaming FLVs to behave as expected.

I am streaming an FLV file into a Video instance. I am setting the bufferTime to 5. The biggest problem is that it seems that after the initial 5 second buffer, it plays in fast forward up to the 5 second point, then hits empty buffer, buffers again, then plays normally. Tracing onStatus, this is what I get:

NetStream.Play.Reset (what does this mean? sometimes it appears after the Start event)
NetStream.Play.Start
NetStream.Buffer.Full (this is where it starts playing in fast forward
NetStream.Buffer.Empty (less than a second later!)
NetStream.Buffer.Full (now it plays normally)
NetStream.Play.Stop
NetStream.Buffer.Flush
NetStream.Buffer.Empty (why does it trigger an empty buffer after the video is done playing and flushed?)

Any help would be appreciated, been fiddling with it all morning so far and I'm still pretty baffled.

    It turns out this problem only occurs on one Mac computer, out of all the 5 machines I'm testing on. Unfortunately, my main workstation...
