Flv Player – Add Buffer &rtmp
We have an flv player that we use to play short (30 sec – 1 minute) clips. However, when we play the clips online, the videos do not run smoothly – they pause briefly, stutter, hiccup etc. This is variable and doesn’t always happen, but seems to happen pretty consistently on first play. Videos are hosted on amazon s3, and played using http.
We need these videos to play smoothly. Sample videos that are not playing smoothly can be viewed on http://www.yourbestsalesrep.com
My understanding is that the issue is the bandwidth – videos are being downloaded slower than they are playing.
To fix this we need one or both of the following solutions:
1. add a preload buffer to the player (but we don’t want to display anyhing, it must preload invisibly), the duration of which can set by external parameters. Or better still, the buffer sets itself according to the speed of download to ensure they whole video can be played smoothly.
2. enable the player to be able to stream from a true streaming server.
Please bid on one or both of these solutions, giving your reasons for your choice.
The player is written in AS3
