Hello,

I've seen all the examples on getting duration information from an flv file 
using the netstream function, but they all require you to play the flv first.

I was wondering if you could get the info without having to play the flv file.

The situation I have is I am ingesting an xml file with a list of flv files in 
a directory.  I want to display that list of files in a datagrid with the 
duration in another column.  So I want to use a labelfunction that will read 
the flv file and then calculate the duration.

However I am concerned that the examples I have seen to retrieve this metadata 
requires me to play each video to get the data which might be too slow.  Is 
there a different approach to this?

I would do this once and after getting the duration I would write it back into 
the xml file but the flvs in the directory keep changing.  Any ideas or hints 
would be appreciated.

thanks,
Hoyt
