Question

Live Stream Occasionally Not Displayed

I created a simple Flash file with an embedded FLVPlayback component to display a live video feed.

Occasionally, on the client browser, the feed will connect, buffer and then display a black window. When this happens, I noticed that if I select "show redraw regions," the redraw area is a 0 pixel by 0 pixel region in the top left corner of the window. If I refresh the page to reconnect, everything is usually fine.

Any idea why this happens? It's annoying and confusing for the user as they assume the stream is broken.

    I would suggest not using the FLVPlayback Component when dealing with live streams.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Can you point me at some example code for connecting to and displaying a live stream without the component as I am fairly new to ActionScript.

    Thanks again.
