NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW when streaming server side playlist

Hi

I am streaming pre recorded audio files (mp4) to an AIR client. I have tried two different solutions,

streaming the file directly with the NetStream.play("mp4:xxxxx.m4a") and creating a server side playlist, adding the

same sound clip and then streaming the playlist. The problem is, when streaming the playlist i get a few NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW, this does not happen when streaming the file direct. Both solutions uses bufferTime=1.0

I would like to use a server side playlist to implement a simple key solution so that the client dont know the full path to

the file, but instead sends a key to a custom server side function that looks up the file path and creates a stream for the client.

TIA

    Subscribing via playlist and playing file directly are two different things , as first one is live mode of play while other is playing recorded file - so the way streams are delivered are also quite different. Can you try setting higher buffer and see if that helps or if you don't want to set higher buffer, see if disabling AggregateMessages (you will find the tag in Application.xml under Live/Queue) helps
