Hi, Could you set up something like FFMPEG on the FMS box to read/transcode your CDN stream into FLV so the server can then stream this. I am not sure if FMS likes playing FLV streams from anything it does not create, but it might be worth checking. Glen Jason Van Cleave wrote: The

I found the post. It would be nice to have standardised metadata, but it seems to be something that's a long way from now, espessially since nothing of the sort is beeing promoted or pushed by Adobe. Metadata aside though, I think it's a bit of a flaw to not have dimensions ready when the buffer

Sometimes you have no control over the FLVs, that's the problem. I'm sure there's a good technical explanation out there that prevents FLVs to have width and height attributes like for example a jpg, but I'd love to hear it. On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 9:31 PM, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Even if it does, you would have to wait till the onMetaData event to layout your interface, something that's not nice. Sometimes you even start with a static image until the user clicks on the video and only then you begin to load. Again, being able to access width and height as in jpgs would be
