Flash player with the ability to start playback from an arbitrary location?

Question

Adobe Flash

http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/ used this player, but the customer noticed and asked to make it like on youtube - so that the download could start from the position where the mouse was clicked. those. while the video is not playing - clicked on the middle - it will start loading from the middle.

We tried to look for similar solutions, but either they tried something wrong, but they didn’t find a player that can do that.

Actually, can anyone help or explain how to do this?

Answer 1

One player is not enough, you still need to configure it on the web server.
Here is an example for nginx kovyrin.net/2006/10/14/flash-video-flv-streaming-nginx/

Answer 2

So the problem is not in the player, but in the video. Movies in flv? If so, process them with flvtool or flvmeta before uploading them to the server.

Answer 3

We use the uppod player + transfer meta tags using the flvmeta utility. Without the transfer of meta-information, it will not be streamed.

Answer 4

The task of playing flv in a flash player from an arbitrary location consists of several tasks.
1. The server must support flv streaming. Apache has mod_flvx, Lighttpd has mod_flv, nginx has ngx_http_flv_module.
2. Files. Flv files must have metadata embedded. There is flvtool2 and yamdi. For me, flvtool2 often did not cope with the task.
3. The player must also support playback of a file from an arbitrary location.

Answer 5

in the jw player it seems you need to add
so.addVariable('type','http');
if I'm not mistaken

Answer 6

Your player is suitable. For the server side - google flvprovider.php
Well, add a parameter in the player, as NinjaCat wrote
