How to seek FLV files using the “Indexing for Flash plug-in” with other Flash Players rather than Flumotions?
The Flumotion Flash Player (which can be acquired as a plug-in but that is also included in some Software Packs) is already featured with FLV seeking compatible with the Indexing for Flash Plug-in. However, if you don’t have or do not want to utilize Flumotion Flash Player to make use of your Indexing for Flash Plug-in, you can always add a FLV seeking script directly on your own Flash Player. Bellow you can find the same FLV seeking script included in Flumotion Flash Player. For more detailed information please access: http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/pseudostreaming.html —– function prepare_inpoint_seek (bare_uri: String, params: Object) { var uri:String; /* * We are asked to play a file from the middle of it (the URI is * something like http://host.com/file.flv?start=1000) We can’t * just play it, because we need to first read the stream’s * metadata. So we just store the start offset and the function * that handles metadata will be responsible for seeking once * metadata
