First of all, what kind of exception/event you get when "the video might well corrupt after just a few seconds".
Next, what do you mean by words "rendering it useless" ?
What do you mean by words "This might be a weakness in the .flv format" ? What kind of weaknesses are there?
"what steps can I take to ensure video plays correctly". Steps are described in the adobe API well and I believe there is nothing else that you can do. Just follow the API and you will be fine. I am not sure if WebORB related to your question anyhow, but anyway, I am looking forward to get more details regarding to my questions above
Hi Cyril,
To answer your questions in order:
1.) No exception, but the video freezes in every commercial .flv player I try (and I've tried several) after a few seconds. WebOrb might create a 50mB .flv file which show a length of 58 minutes but stops playing after 3-4 seconds.
2.) By rendering it useless, I mean that I know there are "good" video frames available for playback after the corruption, but you cannot play them. I have not tried re-streaming the files. perhaps I'll give this a go.
3.) I dont know of any specific flaw in the .flv format, but flv players seem incapable of continuing playback after a corruption.
I've not narrowed down this issue to being connection specific. I have an incling it might be happening when multiple streams are recording at the same time. I've also noticed that frame rates / resolution can change midway through a recorded file (is this down to adaptive bitrate of the source stream?). Perhaps this is part of the issue?
I have watched a stream while it is being recorded server side. I have seen stutters in the "live" stream, but the stream continues OK, but the recorded .flv fails at the point of the stutter.
I'll try and get more specific info as to when this happens.
Many thanks.
