New position exceeds limit error

[bgoetzmann]

Hello,

Using Red5 0.9RC2, I just try to read a FLV that a friend gives me
with oflaDemo. The file can't be streamed and I get the exception
bellow.
The same file works well with several players like VLC for example
opening the file directly.
The file size is 243 Mo.

Any idea about this problem?

Thank you.

A position in the file / flv has been requested that would exceed the maximum position available in the file data. Ex. File is 3000 bytes long and 3001 has been requested.

is it possible to use vlc as stream client for red5?

[Mondain]

Yes, vlc should work and please in the future do not hijack other peoples threads.

Hello,

And thank you for your response!

Is it a known problem? Should I submit an issue somewhere?

It corresponds to the bug referenced here, I think: "New position
exceeds limit (FLVReader)" (http://trac.red5.org/ticket/621).

What worries me, is that this bug was opened 8 months ago.

I can supply my big file if it cans help.

Cheers,

Bertrand.

Hello,

Always about the exception I get for a large flv file! As suggested in
the ticket 621 (http://trac.red5.org/ticket/621), I make a try with
Red 0.7 final, but I get the same error.
I also tried the Flazr server, and the file is almost well played,
using the web player JW Player.

Is a bug from the FLVReader?

Please I need help!!

Thank you,

Bertrand.

Finally,

I tried to inject metadata in my large file, using flvmdi (http://
www.buraks.com/flvmdi/), and now, it works almost well with Red5
0.9RC2!!

It seems the tool used to convert to FLV convert doesn't add, or
incorrect add, the metadata needed for streaming.

I do some tests with Flowplayer; the only strange thing I see, is that
when I move the cursor to go toward a certain position in the video,
sometimes the image freezes but the sound continues.

I'm glad to progress...

Any comment?

Bertrand.
