Erik Thomas commented on FLEX-33374:
------------------------------------
BTW, I thought of tryng to use StageVideo but the problem there is, we display
the video in a popup container. StageVideo plays underneath the display tree
and cannot be displayed within a popup Flex container.
I'm also trying to workaround this with Netconnection, Netstream and Video
classes instead but it would be really cool to have VideoDisplay stream on
mobile.
> spark VideoDisplay and VideoPlayer fails to stream video on mobile devices

> Key: FLEX-33374
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33374
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark: VideoPlayer
> Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
> Environment: FlashBuilder 4.7 on Windows 7, iPad 3, iPhone 4, remote
> FMS 4.5 server, FLV Video source in 112K bitrate.
> Reporter: Erik Thomas
> Attachments: VideoDisplay.jpg, VideoPlayback.zip

>
> The spark VideoDisplay will not stream video from FMS 4.5, instead it appears
> to do progressive download instead, and it buffers the file for about one
> minute before it begins to play.
> However, the same code running in FlashPlayer on web, or in an AIR mobile
> simulator, the video properly streams and displays within seconds of playing.
> I understand VideoDisplay is not "optimized" for mobile, but that should not
> cause this behavior. I am in the process of debugging the spark codebase to
> find the root cause, but so far have been unsuccessful.
> So I attached a project that displays this behavior. Just unzip the file to a
> directory, start FB and point the workspace to the directory, open the
> project, build and run it first in an AIR simulator for an iOS mobile device,
> you'll see video instantly. Then deploy it in debug or release to an actual
> device. When you launch the project, you have to wait approximately a minute
> before the video will start playing.
> I'm assuming it's failing over to progressive download from streaming in some
> way, but I really have no idea what is causing the issue.
> I really don't care if the performance of the VideoDisplay isn't optimized
> for mobile, and a delayed start of several seconds would be fine, but one
> minute?
> If I find a root cause I will update this defect record with my findings as
> this is a blocker for us so that's my focus.
