OK, I found a fix for John's FLVPlayer when playing
videos recorded by a webcam.
It might not be the "Mother of all Fixes" but it will at least work
for those who are using or using a variation of John's Flex FLVPlayer.
Down around line 144 in PreviewWindow.mxml add the following to
the following function:
public function goNormalScreen():void
{
videoHolder.width = metaData.width;
videoHolder.height = metaData.height;
videoPlayer.width = metaData.width;
videoPlayer.height = metaData.height;
if (isNaN(metaData.width)) { < - Add what is in red
videoHolder.width = 360;
videoHolder.height = 240;
videoPlayer.width = 360;
videoPlayer.height = 240;
}
setFullScreen(false);
}
Also, down on line 271, 272 or 273, Change the following
// set percentage for use with keeping ratio
percentage = metaData.width / metaData.height;
videoPlayer.width = metaData.width;
videoPlayer.height = metaData.height;
if (isNaN(metaData.width)) { < - Add what is in red
videoPlayer.width = 360;
videoPlayer.height = 240;
percentage = videoPlayer.width / videoPlayer.height;
}
Hope this will help someone. All I did was set the video player width and
height back to the defaults.
Maybe I should know this already, but why is the Video Width and Height not
read in the metaData
like the Video Trailer Movies we have? Is it not there? I can see the Width
and Height defined in other FLV players
for the recorded Videos.
Thanks,
Lenny
