Problems with streaming f4v files longer than approximate 1 hour

Hey Everybody!

I have a problem streaming on-demand f4v-files longer than 1 hour! The video starts normaly playing the stream and the player shows the correct overall duration. But if you start skipping/seeking the overall duration change to 13 h 20m and 28s (instead of 1 hour) and the stream breaks down. All f4v files with less than one hour duration works fine with playing and skipping!

I encode the f4v files with Adobe Media Encoder. I have also checked the f4v file with FLVcheck (passed). So, does anybody have an idea in fixing this problem and which format is the best for FMS streaming (MP4, FLV, F4V?)?

Thanks

Hinricht

    Are you having trouble with all F4V files of duration greater than 1 hour or its just this one?

    I have tried streaming F4Vs of much larger duration but did not find any issues. It would be great if you can pass me the F4V so that I can examine it.

    If you have converted it from another format, can I get hold of both the file versions?

    Thanks.

    I have only this problem with f4v-files larger than approx. one hour! And only with F4V files. If i encode to MP4 from the DV RAW origin the skipping/seeking is all fine. (So, there should not be a problem with the origin file.) But i choose F4V because it is Adobe´s format for streaming and the same format that Flash Media Live Encoder uses and all samples on the server are F4V.

    I have to contact my chief if i can send u a copie of the F4V file. By the way, the file is 1.07GB large.

    Thanks for helping!

    Instead of streaming the media over FMS, you can try a simple playback of the F4V via Adobe Media Player. This would help us confim whether the issue lies with just the encoding or not and we can let FMS stay out of it
