Re: [flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV

[Abdul Qabiz]

VideoDisplay is just wrapper around VideoPlayer. I think, Flex 2 is great because you get source code. So you can extend things rather than using workarounds or hacks...Thanks to Adobe for making SDK free and this indeed has advantage over last version (Flex 
1.5).I am not promising but If I get time, I would write a simple Video component that can handle different type of FLV playback (RTMP, HTTP, PHP/Lighttpd FLV streaming). Which would be easy to use and customize.   I feel, VideoDisplay component is quite  complicated and big for unknown reasons.
I can not post my current code due to some reasons (company, employer etc). I have classes to handle RTMP, Progressive download, Lighttpd FLV streaming; all of these use same interface and events. There is factory which creates required stream transparently. Basically, UI doesn't need to know about specific streams.
Hope this give some idea, if you want to implement something reuseable, lightweight and compact...-abdulOn 9/1/06, greg h <

            Wow Chris.  You are way out ahead of me :-)

When Abdul mentioned in the other thread last week needing to "hack the
code properly" I figured it might be a bridge too far for me.

Any chance of your posting your solution over at http://www.onflex.org/code/

Regarding getting "Adobe to add this type of functionality to the framework?"  Maybe Flex 3?

Congratulations again.

            Well, my hack worked.
 
 

I
created a new package in my project. Then I copied the Flex video
classes into the package folders and hacked those (about 50 lines of
code in 10 files - less not counting the package name changes). Then I
created a new video event - BUFFERINGPCT. The VideoEvent object now
contains a numeric property named "bufferingProgress." The hack works
like a charm!

Now I can track buffering progress using my hacked version of the <mx:videoDisplay> component.

The question is how do I get Adobe to add this type of functionality to the framework?

Greg & Abdul, thanks for all your responses. I learned much and I hope other find this thread useful. 


  Chris
