Hi there,

since I had no response on this yesterday in the actionscript forum, I´ll put it in here again:

I´ve got an flv player that resizes its videoHolder MC according to the width and height metadata embedded in my flv files (metadata coming from flvmdi). Now the problem is that the NetStream.onMetaData event isn´t triggered every time a new video is selected, although it works fine most times... Besides the video size information also the clips´ duration is concerned, so progress status is problematic too in these cases.

Is this phenomenon known to anybody - any ideas what could be the reason for this? Are there any conditions/limitations for onMetaData to work correctly? It seems to me as if it could have to do with some performance or bandwidth issue as it happens more often when tested on the web than locally. It definitely doesn´t depend on certain video clips as it only appears in irregular intervals. The videos themselves play reliably as they should - except the fact that sometimes their metadata is missing... Or as a workaround, can I request the metadata again later somehow?

Thanks for any hints!
Toby
