  Well. Once the buffer is full it should continue playing again. What i am 
saying is that it simply stops and you have to do a page reload and hope it 
will not hang up again half way.

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

        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
