In the interest of just getting another pair of eyeballs on the problem, some obvious things I'd check for:
- Are you testing with different videos, maybe it's a problem with the video? - Have you reproduced the problem with a video served from another FMS? Maybe it's a problem on the server? - Sometimes just quitting the IDE and restarting makes bizarre problems go away for me. Similar to your idea about polling the video.state, could you poll playheadTime and assume it's not buffering depending on what it returns? ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kenneth Kawamoto [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 5:11 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 FLVPlayback buffering state never ends bug If you set up a listener for playheadUpdate when bufferingStateEntered occurs, do you receive playheadUpdate event when the video starts playing again?
