[flexcoders] Re: FLV Duration
I tried the flvtool2 and couldn't really figure it out, didn't spend a whole lot of time with it though. Found another tool that does the same thing and I was able to figure out quickly. FLVMDI, http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/, has commandline and gui options, can output a new flv with the metadata as well outputing an xml of the data. Thanks for the help everyone, hopefully this will save others a bit of trouble as well. -John --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Sönke Rohde [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, If it was not encoded with metadata why not inject that metadata with FLVTool2?

[flexcoders] Re: FLV Duration
You could pass everything through FLVTool2 on the server to inject metadata...problem solved! This is something we do with flvs made from ffmpeg. IME recent builds of ffmpeg create the metadata correctly Ben
[flexcoders] Re: FLV Duration
How does this tool work, I was looking at it yesterday and couldn't really figure it out. I ran an flv through it and couldn't see how to get the duration out of it.It looked to me like all you could do was add stuff to the flv, not get information out of it. If I am wrong (and I hope so) please let me know how I could use this to figure out the duration of an flv -John --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, The Morans [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You could pass everything through FLVTool2 on the server to inject metadata...problem solved!

[flexcoders] Re: FLV Duration
onMetaData only works if the flv has been encoded with the metadata,
there is no way to garuntee that this has happened though

RE: [flexcoders] Re: FLV Duration
Hi, If it was not encoded with metadata why not inject that metadata with FLVTool2? If there is no metadata you will not be able to get the duration. Another possibility would be to use the print command of FLVTool2 to determine the duration instead of injecting it.
