Hi John, First off, great work on including the META file to catalog the keyframes for a FLV file - it really speeds things up when viewing a large file.
I'm currently using version 1817 - and contrary to my last email to Steven - I've noticed that the generation of the META file only works the first time if the FLV file is relatively small (less than about 20MB it seems). Otherwise, the files I've tested (between 80MB and 330MB) using the oflaDemo SWF, when you click on them the first time, you get the initial indication in the output window - and then wait. I've waited for as much as ten minutes. I click the file again - same thing. Click on a different file (for which the META has already been generated) and it doesn't do a thing. I disconnect, reconnect, and try again. It takes on average three iterations of doing this before the META file is generated - and the first time that happens, the connection is promptly disconnected. Good news is that once you do manage to successfuly generate the META file, the video plays almost instantly - and when seeking it seems like you can scrub as fast as you want and almost every keyframe that the playhead crosses pops up on screen. So that's pretty neat. Anyway, not sure what's causing the generation of the META file to hang, but I just wanted to pass this along in case anyone else is having to try it multiple times before the thing gets created. =) Danke, Nathan _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org
