Thanks! I knew it had to be somewhere obvious.

Anybody know where I can find the non minified version of the flowplayer js. I have it for previous versions but can't seem to find it in the commercial download or the free download. Thanks.

This works now as well, thanks, you rock.

Thanks. This works great now as seen on the cuepoint at 17:45 herehttp://devsite.acgcmeuniverse.org/flowtest/test.html

I am not sure if you did anything to the cuepoint problem with onMetaData (cuepoints don't include name) but I double checked and that is still not working. Thanks again.

I have made a test page to show how parameters embedded with Adobe Media Encoder are not being read by flowplayer. here is a test page with a screenshot from richflv showing that the cuepoint at 17:45 has a parameter called video that can't be read by flowplayer. I am outputting the value of p.paramters.video using the example you posted, you will see everytime it is output it is undefined, including at 17:45.

The video is athttp://devsite.acgcmeuniverse.org/flowtest/kansascity2009_15.flv

Also I am able to access the parameters in these videos using actionscript with the following code:

function onVideoMeta(oEvent:Object):Void {
	var oMeta:Object = oEvent.target.metadata;
	var aCues:Array = oMeta.cuePoints;
	for (var i:Number = 0; i<aCues.length; i++) {
		var oCue:Object = aCues[i];
		tabby.cli.addItem({label:oCue.name, data:oCue.time});
		var metaPropPJParams:Object = oCue.parameters;
		if (metaPropPJParams != undefined) {
			for (var iii:String in metaPropPJParams) {;
			//trace(iii + ": " + metaPropPJParams[iii]);
			subvideos[i] = metaPropPJParams[iii];
			}
		} else {
			subvideos[i] = "novideo";
		}
}

Also there is still the problem in flowplayer that when you get the cuepoints onMetaData the names are not included, just the times.

I am not sure how RichFLV embeds cuepoints differently, but it does not seem to work with cuepoints that are embedded with Adobe Media Encoder. I can put up a test later.

This worked great, thanks.

A couple of ideas for future development, if they are even possible. Right now it appears that the plugin only rolls over to the second if the first server can't be reached at all. But it does not roll over if it can't reach the application (tested by adding some random characters to the end of the host) and it does not roll over if the file you are trying to stream is not found on that server.

Richard, If you look at the links I posted in this thread, you can see flowplayer working with limelight.

http://flowplayer.org/forum/5/35426

I have been trying to implement the Cluster plugin. We use limelight to stream our videos and we were hoping to use Cluster to add Amazon Cloudfront as a failover if limelight goes down.

Here is a video working with limelight, without cluster -

Here is a video working with Amazon, without cluster -
http://floatmargin.com/flowvideo/indexamazon.html

Here is me trying to use Cluster with limelight first and amazon second -http://floatmargin.com/flowvideo/indexcluster.html

You can see the js I am using for cluster here -
http://floatmargin.com/flowvideo/multimedia-cluster.js

I am using flowplayer 3.1.5 and the latest version of all the plugins.

If you open firebug and look at the console you will see the messages for it trying to connect to limelight, failing and not trying amazon -

attempting to connect to: rtmp://mgraphics.fcod.llnwd.net/a3661/o33
connection failed to: rtmp://mgraphics.fcod.llnwd.net/a3661/o33
connection failed to: rtmp://mgraphics.fcod.llnwd.net/a3661/o33

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Richard, I never did figure it out, and we ended up not using bwcheck at the time, but I am looking into it again soon. I am about to post some sample code that is using limelight that you can look at, I will post a link here when I do.

Any chance this bug will be fixed?

Thanks

I am running in to the same problem.

Hello, I have bwcheck working with the rtmp plugin with our videos streaming from limelight. In order to test bwcheck I am using a device to throttle the bandwidth. I got it to work with bitrates of 200,500 and 800. But when I throttle the bandwidth to around 100kbps or less I get the following error from the player -

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on org.flowplayer.bwcheck::BwProvider/onFailed(). Expected 1, got 0.
at org.flowplayer.cluster::RTMPCluster/get host()
at org.flowplayer.bwcheck::BwProvider/doBWConnect()
at org.flowplayer.bwcheck::BwProvider/onRTMPReconnect()
at org.flowplayer.cluster::RTMPCluster/tryFallBack()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()

Any ideas? Thanks much.
