Question

pausing with dynamic streaming causes multiple streams to playback

I have the streaming server 3.5.3. The sample player page for the dynamic streaming is here: http://fms.acpe.org ....click on the dynamic sample. pause and wait a few minutes for disconnect from the server. When you hit play, it starts from that spot and also starts from the beginning in the background audio while showing the buffering orange circle the whole time.

Is there an updated player? Is there a fix for this? My users are students watching long lectures, they pause all the time. when they come back, it is a mess.

Thanx to whoever can help...:)

    I took a look at this and what I can infer from the loading time and constant rebuffering is that your FMS doesn't have enough bandwidth to serve the stream without consistent rebuffering.  This could be for a number of reasons, but this sample works well under full flow scenarios.  Is it possible for you to evaluate your bandwdith capacity from your FMS installation and ensure that you're not exceeding your available channel.  Consider also debugging the scenario with wireshark or a similar tool to make sure that traffic is flowing in the path and protocol that you expect in this case.

    Thanx ASA - I will look at that too. But the multiple streams were caused by the original sample player that came with fms 3.5.1, when I updated to 3.5.3 yesterday morning before you saw the sample, the player was functioning correctly and I have now spread that one made in feb of 2010 to replace the old one in my site made in feb 09.
