Question

Increasing netStream bufferTime causes video to skip when starting

I'm playing a recorded video from Flash Media Server and when I  increase  the bufferTime of my netStream object (to ensure video plays  smoothly), it causes the video to skip a few seconds when it starts  playing. When I decrease buffertime to 0 or near 0, video plays right  from the start but with a bufferTime of a few seconds there is a jump  when video starts. The jump in video is relative to the value of  bufferTime, that is the larger the bufferTime value, the more seconds  are missed when video starts playing.

Is this a bug in FMS or  I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks

Saeid

    Can you tell me how are you concluding that you are skipping few seconds when you set higher bufferTime - is it on visual inspection or say based on status messages.
