Question

playHeadTime from "publish"ed content inconsistent.

Let me break it down.

User A records some content onto my FMS.
User A tells user B about said content.
User B comes back later to watch the content.
User B calls someVidoDisplay.playHeadTime after the first play event comes in and gets some unexpected number (though it is the same every time for the same content, on different machines even).

User B then tells A to do it again, and A does.
The same problem happens but this time the playHeadTime is a little different. The error seems to vary somewhere less than 20 seconds.


It seems that the play head time is perfectly fine if I do the recording on my local machine and play it back on my local machine, but if a non local user makes a video it’s usually wrong.

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening to me here? It’s seems like the server is injecting incorrect timestamps into the published file.

    So I poked around more into my server... (after doing some stuff to server.xml)

    I'm getting these logs when remote clients are attaching to may machine...

    2008-04-06 15:54:29 5312 (e)2611362 Server detected an unwanted gap from 0 to 7847 in file: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3\applications\recorder\streams\_definst_\1efd179b-4764-4788-a9a2-4ea15c30beb9.0, actual time elapsed: 670 -

    What causes something like this?
