Hi, I've been trying to build a video player application (Flash 8) which is configured via XML files, but am continuing to experience problems relating to "metadataReceived" not getting fired off from the FLVPlayback component. Seems it works fine from my hard drive all the time, but only 50% from a remote server (seemingly has to wait for the whole clip to be loaded in before it reads the metadata, as reloading the page after about a minute after the FLV has come down first attempt works).
http://www.coderkind.com/blast2/index.html I've posted a similar query on the FlashComm list; I'm unsure which list this topic best fits under, so sorry if I'm breaking cross-posting rules or anything. If anyone has any tips relating to ensuring "metadataReceived" gets fired off from a FLVPlayback component I'd appreciate it. I've discussed this with a few other Flash developers and some say the metadata thing is a known issue; that you have to resort to hacks sometimes involving calling the .flv twice, or even including a metadata XML file to accompany the FLV clip (which gets called after a certain time if the FLV's metadata can't be read). I'm sure my FLVs include metadata (at least the essential fields like duration, width and height anyway...is there a minimum set you need to include to ensure correct playback?). Otherwise what is the concensus regarding developing video applications; to use the components or to roll your own with code, and does anyone have any good tutorials bookmarked?
