That's the purpose of the buffer. Your bandwidth may not be stable.
Also, I'm pretty sure YouTube is all progressive download.

I even noticed that with youtube.. It hangs if it hits the buffer
and have to wait for the buffer to build up again.

Hi,
I am working on a Flash app that will stream video from ffmpeg +
ffserver instead of connecting directly to the webcam - mainly
because the app is on a touchscreen and it is near impossible to get
Flash to select the correct one of 2 webcams automatically (Have you
tried using the "system settings" dialog on a touchscreen @1280 x
1024?). Also, Flashplayer does not share the device once it has
connected...
Anyway, I have the streaming server up and running and was able
to run my Flash App on a remote client Windows PC and view the video
stream.
When I put the app on the Linux box and run it with the
standalone player, it hangs when I make the call to NetStream.play
with the URL of the video stream.
The funny thing is that the application only hangs when ffserver
+ ffmpeg is running. If there is no stream, it carries on...
Is there a sandbox / security restriction for playing FLV's from
a streaming server in Flash - i.e. is it looking for a crossdomain
file on the server port that I am connecting to or something
different. On Windows I was testing in the IDE, so I am not sure
whether running standalone makes a difference yet...
We are running the app on a Gentoo box - not the most up-to-date
version of Gentoo - but using FP9 for Linux (FP10 crashes at the
moment)
Thanks for any pointers
Glen
