Player downloads entire file

Posted: Dec 15, 2008

When a click START button player downloads -=entire=- file and only then starts to play video :(((( What can be wrong?


<script type="text/javascript" src="/flowplayer-3.0.1.min.js"></script>
<a href='http://www.club-bars.com/article/page/5f1.mp4' style="display:block;width:400px;height:324px" id="player"></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
flowplayer("player", "/flowplayer-3.0.1.swf", {clip: {autoPlay: false, scaling: 'fit'}, canvas: {backgroundColor: '000000', backgroundGradient: [0.0, 0.0]}});
</script>

The moov-atom in the h.264 encoded file needs to be placed in the beginning of the file. Here is one tool for changing the location of the moov-atom.

ffmpeg comes with a tool also:

qt-faststart

Here's a quick guide. It's just a one line job

I wanted a nice GUI app, so I programed one. It's currently for Windows only, called MP4 FastStart. Same idea as Qt-faststart, but it seems to work on files that QT doesn't(Sony Vegas and others), plus no command line fiddling.

Ahh! Great! We will try that after our pseudostreaming plugin works with MP4 files (I assume id don't do that at the moment).

Nice job.

Revolution is here ! Simple fix for little man. Thank You. It's working. Was waiting for something like this for months. I cannot believe what adobe, main concept is doing, negligence, conspiracy ? Heck, thanks again.

I will check here later if it is going to work with flowplayer, pseudostreaming plug-in, I have started to play with this player only today.

No pseudostreaming plug-in is needed, in flow player 3.0.2 video starts to play before it is downloaded first, that it is what I JUST wanted. MP4 is encoded from timeline of your video editor, or through frame server to encoder of yours (for example MeGui) ,moon atom is changed in Data Go Round utility, you bang 50 MB MP4 on website, not streaming dedicated server, and its gonna play right away ,if your download bandwidth is bigger than video bitrate of course, then there is no buffering. No waiting to download file first!

Hi Alexus,

pseudostreaming allows a user to skip ahead in the video, even if that part has not yet being downloaded (or buffered).

When the FP plugin is updated to support MP4 pseudo streaming (currently only supports flv files) I'd recommend using it, as it works much better. It's the perfect compromise between RTMP streaming and Progressive streaming.

From your description, it sounds like your using progressive.

Yes, user cannot skip ahead into spot that is not dowloaded, if flow player pseudostreaming is working with mp4 in this matter, definitely, I'm going to check it out.
