I am having an issue with the FLVPlayback.complete event. This event
should trigger when my flv file has completed playback (reached the end
of the video); however, it only triggers some of the time. For certain
flv's, playback will stop short of the end of the file and the complete
event is never triggered. I am using mencoder and ffmpeg for the video
encoding, and flvtool2 to insert the metadata into the file. The
metadata contains the duration of the video, and I have tried
(unsuccesfully) to use the supplied duration as a comparison to find the
end of the file (I inserted a cuepoint at the aledged duration, but in
certain cases the video did not reach this point, so I ran into the same
problem). I have search far and wide to find a solution for this issue,
including contacting adobe, who did nothing more than tell me it was an
encoding error, and the best solution I've been able to come up with is
to add a cuepoint one second before the end of the flv and use that as
my end point. This does work; however, it cuts a crucial second off the
end of the video, and as such is not an acceptable solution. I have come
across a bunch of cases of this same problem in various forums, and have
yet to come up with a solid solution. Any input, thoughts, ideas,
anecdotes, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
A quick breakdown of my setup:
I am publishing for flash player 8 and above. My video player uses an
flvplayback component and is controlled via actionscript.
Thanks,
Jeff
