FLV That Stops When Seeking
Thursday, January 8th, 2009A quick tip from Mr. Palumbo. If you’re trying to set up a scrubber for a video player in AS3, make sure there are key frames in the video file itself.
Seems pretty obvious. Just don’t tell me or Steve that.
Update: In response to SB’s comment, below…to be honest, we’re not totally sure how this file had no key frames. It came to us already encoded. So maybe (probably) we’re making this up as we go along? I was able to compress an FLV that was 900 frames long with a keyframe every 1000 frames. When I tried to seek, it would just stop. Why you would want to have such seldom keyframes, I’m not sure.
