stopping at first frame

Sun, 04/20/2008 - 16:46 — api

This one stops in the beginning of the video and displays the first frame. Playback starts when the play button is clicked.

Basic demo

Required configuration:

{ videoFile: 'myvideo.flv', autoPlay: false, autoBuffering: true }

Streaming and stop at first frame - problematic

Your demonstration of stopping at first frame when flowplayer and flash file are first loaded seems to only work reliably when you are doing progressive download. Maybe you already know this. I know there has been a fair amount of discussion about getting it to work. What I see in my tests is that if I am streaming my flash file, I see the first frame less than 50% of the time. It seems to be a timing or delivery issue, and I am testing at 3 different CDNs using FMS3.

I put together two tests, one uses progressive download to serve the file (H.264), the other streams that same file. Here are the pages:
