Please try these combinations. but now set the urlsResolvers config to urlResolvers: ["bwcheck", "bitrateselect"]

Same with android. You have to try and find a download in some market place app, are you able to search for it ?

urlResolvers: ['bitrateselect','bwcheck'] yes in this order, perhaps another documentation error :)

I see what you are doing, if you want to run a bandwidth check on start chain it with bitrateselect which works with the menu plugin, do not try to use javascript callbacks to also try and set the stream.

Follow the docs here

http://flowplayer.org/demos/plugins/streaming/brmenu.html

and in your clip resolver

urlResolvers: ['bitrateselect','bwcheck']

unfortunately no it uses the internal stream functions, ill see if there is an answer to this. the byte stream implementation of pseudo stream only works on flv but it would give greater control of how the file is downloaded.

Hi, i've tested your player on an android tablet running gingerbread 2.3.3 and works fine.

Possibly a flash bug, when paused it should stop at 60 seconds which is evident on rtmp connections. There isn't any way to control it. if the stream is closed it will have to start the buffer again.

the flash player when paused will buffer up to 60 seconds, there is nothing that can change that feature out of the box unless you use the byte appending feature instead which you can control the downloading of the file.

Also try using the bitrateselect plugin instead

http://flowplayer.org/plugins/javascript/brselect.html

Site doesn't load. As explained there is no bugs if you are using progressive download video, it will reset the stream back to the start you need either rtmp, adobe http streaming or pseudostreaming for it to switch the stream correctly. For pseudostreaming it will reset the file first then seek to the current position, it works but still slower than rtmp and adobe http streaming,

closing this for now as the docs are updated.

There is no problems using the free license on your page it just displays the flowplayer logo that is all.

I don't have a symbian device to test, are you able to provide a screenshot, from the looks of it there is a full flash 10.1 player for symbian now. It suggests flash lite 4 supports as3 which is what the player is built on but perhaps it's only compatible up to 10.0 which may be a problem with the newer version as it requires 10.1 :)

What happens when you go here

Correction it looks like the max buffer length is set on the client, from the flash docs

"For a single pause, the NetStream.bufferLength property has a limit of either 60 seconds or twice the value of NetStream.bufferTime, whichever value is higher. For example, if bufferTime is 20 seconds, Flash Player buffers until NetStream.bufferLength is the higher value of either 20*2 (40), or 60, so in this case it buffers until bufferLength is 60. If bufferTime is 40 seconds, Flash Player buffers until bufferLength is the higher value of 40*2 (80), or 60, so in this case it buffers until bufferLength is 80 seconds."

this is whats happening, it's 60 seconds buffer if the buffertime x 2 is less than 60 seconds.

This is also a concern other people have been having. the player is in paused mode which it will buffer to 60 seconds on flash media server and cannot be controlled on the client side. On http the default system has a smart paused mode where it will resume the buffer when resuming instead of clearing it, there is no feature to control this. The only other way is to use the new byte appending feature which can perhaps be used to stop downloading the video once the buffer has been reached but it only works with flv files for now.
