Hi guys,
I use jwplayer with flv streaming module (lighttpd), I added HD plugin recently it works great but if I change HD on to HD off, my video will start to 0sec
Is it possible to don't rollback ?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I use a serverside support for streaming, LightTPD I can move into my video via the timeline, but when I switch HD on to off (or off to on) my video restart to 0sec.

If your LightTPD server is functioning correctly, you should see requests like this as you switch back and forth between SD & HD.
"GET /video/TestFile_SD.mp4?start=834.227 HTTP/1.1" 200 40027
"GET /video/TestFile_HD.mp4?start=862.338 HTTP/1.1" 200 22044Check your server logs or use Live HTTP Headers for Firefox or ieHTTPHeaders for Internte Explorer.

Hello hobbs,
actualy I got that :
When I move into my video
"GET /CDPEA/16102009/CDPEA021109-800.flv?start=857830004 HTTP/1.1" 200 493345
When I clic on HD button
"GET /CDPEA/16102009/CDPEA021109-400.flv HTTP/1.1" 200 383845

Your video file CDPEA021109-400.flv probably doesn't have the metadata array of time/byte-position required for pseudostreaming.

Dga
What is the metadata array of time/byte-position ?
When I want to use these video with lighttpd streaming module, I use flvtool2
flvtool2 -U myvideo.flv
Posted: Thu, 2009-11-12 10:55
hobbs
flvtool2 -U creates and injects the metadata array.
You can check the metadata with flvdump from: http://code.google.com/p/flvmeta/

I tested with a shorter video (30sec)
I got the same problem with this video too, here is my flvdump :

Thanks for your answer, what did you use to create metadata array ?
flvtool2 isn't enough?
Posted: Fri, 2009-11-13 11:49
hobbs
flvtool2, FLVMDI, yamdi, flvtool++, flvmeta, and jFlvTool all work.
I normally use FLVMDI /k /l videofilename.flv
flvtool2 -U videofilename.flv should work.
flvtool2 is the only one that works with pipes, so it is appropriate for serverside use.

Are you absolutely sure that you are getting the updated FLV from your server?
Here's what my LightTPD log looks like as I switch in and out of HD.

Hello Hobbs,
Yes, I'm sure about that (Using jw player 4.6.485)
I got this on my lighttpd log

My last setup, where streaming works, I can move into my video but if I clic on HD button video restart to 0 sec

Two things I see:
1) Your LightTPD log looks different than mine. The start parameter is missing:
"GET /video/ThingsFallApart.flv<strong>?start=0</strong> HTTP/1.1" 200 3670016
"GET /test/testHD.flv HTTP/1.1" 206 8888572) You are mixing up Adobe Flash Player parameters with JW FLV Player flashvars in your player embedding code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('http://static1.mydomain.net/swf/player.swf','ply','720','480','9','#000000');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('file','http://stream.mydomain.net/test/testLD.flv');
so.addVariable('hd.file','http://stream.mydomain.net/test/testHD.flv');
so.addVariable('plugins','hd-1,shortcuts-1');

If you have serverside support for streaming, switching SD/HD will resume at the nearest keyframe.
Serverside support for streaming means an RTMP server (FMS, Red5, or Wowza), the FLV/H.264 pseudostreaming modules for Apache2, nginx, LightTPD, or Microsoft IIS, or a serverside script for pseudostreaming.
