bwcheck plugin and start parameter don"t play well together

Posted: Jan 24, 2010

i've got the bwcheck plugin working great with three different streams. i'm able to switch between a low, medium and high quality stream without any problems.

however, when i specify a start parameter (i.e. i start playing in the middle of the video), switching streams causes some unexpected behavior.

1. the browser will crash (firefox) OR
2. the video will freeze, but the audio will start playing from the beginning of the video file instead of where i made the switch.

any thoughts or ideas?

» BWCHECK : Default Bitrate is working?

Posted: Jan 24, 2010

i seem to be having this same problem as well.

for the most part, the bwcheck plugin works fine, but i've got a visitor in afganistan who is running into this error.

according to this post, it may be limited to the geographical location.

» BWCHECK with dynamic:true...

Posted: Jan 24, 2010

I am also interested in the results of this thread as I just started implemented dynamic streaming and Flowplayer today.

On a random side note, what tool are you using to test that dynamic streaming is working correctly? Are you using some type of program to limit your bandwidth?

RTMP playlist with start option won

Posted: Aug 13, 2009

I've got a playlist setup with an RTMP stream followed by a static image.

The problem comes when I specify a start parameter to seek into the RTMP stream. When I do that, Flowplayer shows the rotating circle animation at the end of the stream and doesn't transition to the image.

When I remove the start option, it transitions to the image as expected.

Here's my configuration.


playlist: [
	{ provider: 'cdnetworks', start: 300, url: 'filename' }, 
	{ url: 'http://domain.com/path/to/sample-1.jpg' } 
], 	
plugins: { 
	cdnetworks: { 
		url: '/swf/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.1.swf', 
		netConnectionUrl: 'rtmp://path/to/server'
	}
} 

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
-Alex

Player Events (e.g. onFullscreen) Not Receiving Player Instance as Parameter

Posted: Jun 17, 2009

According to the documentation, when a player event such as onFullscreen is fired, it should be passed the current player instance as a parameter.

It looks like that is not the case.

Using Firebug I'm able to see that my Google Analytics event is not firing in the code below.


var player = $f("video-player", swf_config, fp_config);

player.onFullscreen( 
	function(p) { 
		if( p != null) {
			pageTracker._trackEvent("Player", "Fullscreen"); 
	} 
);

onFinish not firing if start option is > video length

Posted: Jun 11, 2009

Let's say I have a video that is 60 seconds long and for whatever reason accidentally specify a start value greater than that.

For example:


clip: { 
	start: 120, 
	onFinish: function(clip) { alert("Finished"); }
}

When doing this, the onFinish event doesn't get fired. I just see the final frame and the buffer circle spinning continuously.

Is this by design or a bug? If by design, is there a way around it?

Thanks,

Posted: Jun 4, 2009

I would like to disable pausing when you click on the video (picture) area but still allow the user to pause when they click on the pause button in the control bar.

Posted: Jun 3, 2009

As you mentioned, this disables ALL pause functionality. I searched through the documentation and have not been able to find a way to disable the pause functionality only when the video is clicked.

In Flowplayer 2, I believe you just specified linkUrl: ''. This doesn't seem to work in Flowplayer 3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

» Using a second controlbar for time - Autohide on second bar.

Posted: May 21, 2009

I am also having a problem autohiding a second control bar. Here is my configuration. I'm trying to display the fullscreen icon in the top right of the player.


controls: {
	autoHide: true, 
	backgroundGradient: 'low', 
	borderRadius: 13, 
	bottom: 5, 
	hideDelay: 2000, 
	left: '50%', 
	tooltips: { buttons: true }, 
	url: '/swf/flowplayer.controls-3.1.1.swf', 
	width: '90%', 

	all: false, 
	mute: true, 
	volume: true 
}, 
fullscreen: {
	autoHide: true, 
	backgroundColor: 'transparent', 
	backgroundGradient: 'none', 
	top: 25, 
	right: 25, 
	hideDelay: 2000, 
	tooltips: { buttons: true }, 
	url: '/swf/flowplayer.controls-3.1.1.swf', 
	width: 30, 

	all: false, 
	fullscreen: true, 

}

» Controlbar does not autohide after returning from fullscreen

Bump.

I just installed the latest released version of everything (3.1.1) and I'm still experiencing this bug.

Controlbar does not autohide after returning from fullscreen

Posted: May 14, 2009

I have the controlbar setup to autohide after 2 seconds. When the video first loads, it autohides as expected. But as soon as I enter fullscreen mode and then exit, the controlbar appears but won't autohide anymore.

If it matters any, I am using flowplayer.smil-3.1.0-dev.swf (i.e. not an official release version of FP).

Here are my settings for the controlbar plugin.


	plugins: { 
		controls: {
			autoHide: true, 
			backgroundGradient: 'low', 
			borderRadius: 13, 
			bottom: 5, 
			hideDelay: 2000, 
			left: '50%', 
			tooltips:  { buttons: true }, 
			url: '/live/fp/flowplayer.controls-3.1.0.swf', 
			width: '90%', 
			// disable buttons for live streaming
			all: false, 
			fullscreen: true, 
			mute: true, 
			volume: true			
		}
	}

Yeah, there seems to be something weird with the test stream. It's an issue on my end. Hopefully Chris can get you something shortly.

In the meantime, I am working on getting a more legitimate stream at the above URL.

Sorry

I'm sure Chris can get you a better live stream, but here's one you can test with for now.

Here in about an hour or so I will have something streaming that's more entertaining than me at my desk. ;)

That's great news about the plugin Anssi!

Here's a sample SMIL file you can test with.

http://hwcdn.net/y5n4y3e8/fms/sample.flv.smil

You asked for the "associated video stream" as well. I'm not sure I know what that is in this situation.

Let me know if you need something else.

Thanks for working on this so quickly.
