VBR and Flash Media Server stream length detection could be the source of this problem. I have done work for VitalStream before and seen this issue come up with MP3 streaming at least. To get a more detailed answer, this is a question better asked on the Flash Media Server forums: FlashMedia [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using the custom player source provided by vitalstream but it only works with single bitrate streams. When I try to use a multi bitrate stream as the sname parameter in the m_XMLURI string the player fails. Looking through the source code I found some clues as to why it is not working, but don't have a lot of time to debug the code and find the solution. I've been working with VitalStream support on this and they are no help at all. They sent me links to an irrelevent adobe tutorial as their solution. Here is a fragment of code from that player that hints about bandwith detection but also says it is not used?!!? [code] //the server calls this object to continue (auto bandwidth detection is complete) this["nc"+i].onBWDone = function(p_bw) { trace("onBWDone: "+p_bw); //we pass the successful netConnection and the calculated bandwidth speed to // the onconnected function to continue this.mc.onConnected(this, p_bw); }; m_payload = 0; //this function is not currently used; it is for checking bandwidth speed // initiated by the server this["nc"+i].onBWCheck = function() { trace("onBWCheck returning: "+(this.mc.m_payload+1)); return ++this.mc.m_payload; }; [/code] So my question is: Does anybody have a working (multi-bitrate streams) example of a video player for the VitalStream content delivery system? They have players that work with multi-bitrate streams in .swf format but do not release the flv source for those players. Any help would be appreciated. A working .fla example would be priceless!
