fms ns.play(file, -2) Vs ns.play(stream, -2)

[moschous]

Hi,

I have a very strange problem.

I have created an application on fms. on the streams/_definst_/instance
directory there is a sample flv file with name file.flv

If i have a client doing ns.play(file,-2) everything is fine. The file is
delivered (streaming) nicely.

If i have the below:

Client::: ns.play(stream, -2);

Server-side: (Stream.get("stream")).play(file, -2);

The file is delivered, but it doesnt playback/flow properly. It seems like
breaking(stacks) on some points and then continue.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you vrey much!

are you sure about the sanity of the flv file.

BTW, by using Server-side: (Stream.get("stream")).play(file, -2); you
are publishing the flv file as a live stream. please try increasing
the client side buffer in the swf (say 2 second).

Hi list (again),

doing some more tests i concluded that the problem is not exactly the one i
refer above.
The problem is more generic. Any video which is recorded by fms is not
delivered properly even if i do
ns.play(file,-2).

For most videos ns.play(file,-2) works fine but using the other way the
problem is more intensive.

The problem i noted is that the videos are not flow properly. They break,
stack for a while, then continue, etc...

Any recommendation on this?
