flv playback not buffering

[nutsack]

Hi Folks
I have a strange situation with flv playback buffering. I have recently moved a flash based site from one server to another. Whilst buffering worked fine on the old server, on the new server for some reason when the flvplayback component runs out of data and should buffer, it instead just moves the playhead back to the start as if the flv file was finished playing. No idea what is happening there. Like i said it worked fine on the old server

Thanks in advance

you might like to listen for a load of netstream events that get fired at certain points and debugging from there:

 package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.media.Video;
    import flash.net.NetConnection;
    import flash.net.NetStream;

    public class NetStatusEventExample extends Sprite {
        private var videoURL:String = "Video.flv";
        private var connection:NetConnection;
        private var stream:NetStream;

        public function NetStatusEventExample() {
            connection = new NetConnection();
            connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
            connection.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
            connection.connect(null);
        }

        private function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
            switch (event.info.code) {
                case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
                    connectStream();
                    break;
                case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
                    trace("Unable to locate video: " + videoURL);
                    break;
            }
        }

        private function connectStream():void {
            var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
            stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
            stream.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
            var video:Video = new Video();
            video.attachNetStream(stream);
            stream.play(videoURL);
            addChild(video);
        }

        private function securityErrorHandler(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
            trace("securityErrorHandler: " + event);
        }
        
        private function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void {
            // ignore AsyncErrorEvent events.
        }

    }
 }

sorry about the codespam, i can't link directly to the page, "stupid flash"! :facepalm:

just trace those events out with an External Interface call to the javascript Alert() function
