Question
Long FLVs break after a few seconds on fresh install of FMS
My company is evaluating FMS. We currently use LimeLight for
streaming video but are looking into setting up our own streaming
server for many FLVs.
So, I have set up FMS 2 on one of our Linux dev servers (running CentOS) - well, actually one of our Systems guys set it up. There were a few snafus installing it (extra packages that needed installation), but it seems to work fine now.
I'm looking for a little configuration help, because I'm running into a problem... shorter FLVs stream fine using the Flash 8 main.asc example files to create a simple video stream. However, we need to be able to serve very large, long duration videos (one hour and sometimes longer). These have played fine from LimeLight, so I'm guessing it's a configuration setting.
I also installed FMS on a Windows machine and had the same exact results with multiple players - both the player I've created and the default FLVPlayback player.
Longer videos play for 4 seconds consistantly and then end as if it had reached its final duration. If I try to seek to a different position (either while it's starting to play back or after it erroneously stops), it also gets an "end" state returned.
If anyone can give me a direction on this, it would be great. Is it configuration? Is it a memory issue? The problem is consistent, so that's good, I guess.
Finding an answer to this will help my company decide whether to buy into the server or not, though I would imagine getting it set up in a dev environment should be possible even with large FLVs, as long as I don't have a lot of connections at the same time.
Thanks for any help...
