Hi,
I'm developing a web videoplayer using netstream's progressive download.
I need the (smart but not yet implemented - hope i'm wrong) "seek to a not-downloaded piece of the video" feature (aka partial-streaming or pseudo-streaming). HTML5 <video> tag support it.
I find two solution on the web:
- make a sort of http://www.myserver.com/myvideo.mp4?starttime=time request using somethings like lighttpd on server side, but i dont have access to the server and will not support that work .
- [thorny matter] implement, in flash as3, the httprequest and manually set the bytes-range property in the header and play the video using netstream.appendBytes() funcition (i think HTML5 implementation is based on this concept).
Does anyone know other solution?
So......
I develop in CS6 and i use version 10.x or 11.x of flash player;
When i publish the swf to the browser i use the flash player 13 plug-in.
With version 10 or 11 when the video its ready but paused all the data of the video is downloaded the same.
With the version 13 i notice only the next "x" MB are downloaded if the video is paused. This is an important new feature.
Does anyone know if in the future versions of the flash player, adobe should support also http pseudo-streaming feature?
Thanks,
Bye
