Question

FMS2 Enhanced Seek doesn't work for VP6

Hi All,

First time poster. I was wondering if anyone knows why enhanced seek using netstream (ns.play) method doesn't seem to work?

For example I want to play a sample clip starting at 15 second mark and for length of only 20 seconds I should be able to use this.

ns.play("some_video",15,20);

and I find it works perfectly fine on sparc codec (immediate playback) but with VP6 it's just blank for about 15 seconds then it starts to play. It's almost like it actually is playing from the 0s mark but doesn't show anything until 15 seconds have elapsed.

So I decided to play around a bit with using ns.seek and ns.play and discovered this.

ns.play("some_video",0,35);
ns.seek(15);

so it seems by doing this it will play from the 15s mark and end at the 35s mark.
it works well enough, just wondering if anyone knows why it won't work with the first example?

Regards,

Adam Walsworth
