[Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
With Flash 8 am I correct in believing that if I add cue points to a FLV that I'll be able to seek within it even though it's being delivered via a regular web server? How does that work? Does the web server actually get a new request?

Re: [Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
You'll be able to seek to the cue points, yes, but the client will have to actually download that point of the file first. They won't be able to start watching from one of the cue points immediately. The way progressive download works, it starts downloading at the start of the file, and continues linearly until the whole file is downloaded. You can only seek to cue points that have been downloaded.

not in the way you are thinking. you can seek only to a point in a movie that has already been downloaded. have you looked at red5?

Re: [Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
Thanks Johannes and Francis... Yeah Johannes I'm tracking Red5 but we're already deploying through Influxis a FMS solution. I was just shocked to find in some readings I was doing yesterday about cue points that seek worked - glad that my understanding that seeking to downloaded material worked but nothing new. (Our app requires the user to be able to seek to authored cue points within a stream). Interesting that MP3's can seek to arbitrary points without being downloaded.

Re: [Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
I have heard of a solution that someone implemented, using server-side code to serve the .flv file with different injected metadata, that did the same basic job of allowing seek to any point... but I can't remember how it was done or where I saw it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
Yeah that was done with PHP rewriting flv's dynamically based on a user request. Was a bit unstable if I remember right. At least I couldn't get it to work.
