Question

Video stream not re-starting from first frame

Hi,

I have a problem with a project using the FLVPlayback component (the Flash CS4 version) and FMS 3.

Playing back a video works fine. When the video is finished, I hide the FLVPlayback component.

But if I have to play the same video again, the video does not immediately start from the beginning. I see a glitch with the frame the user last stopped on (whether it stopped at the end or wherever in the middle). It never re-starts from the beginning right away.

I have tried different approches to solving the issue:

    - tried seekSeconds(0)
    - tried autoRewind = "true"

    - a combination of both

    - nulling out the stream source (result in a Runtime error) then setting it again

To no avail.

Regards,

Karl.

    I had investigated this as an FMS bug a long time ago.  It turned out to be a Flash Player issue and what came out of its decompression and image buffers.  There are likely some ways to work around it with a new video object etc.  However, you may also want to try a new FlashPlayer version in case it's been fixed.  Sorry that I don't have more insight but AFAIK that's the issue you've been facing.

    Thanks. I'll try creating a new video object.

    I use the latest release of Flash Player 10 by the way.
