Problem playing audio from server

Mar 25, 2011 6:48 AM

I am trying to play an m4a(aac) audio file in flash. When I play the play the track with file kept in the same directory, it works fine. When I play the file placed on my localhost, it plays fine. But when I play it on a remote server, I get this in response whiel playing the file: NetStream.Play.FileStructureInvalid

Any idea what might be wrong?

    probably the file hasn't been downloaded completely.. wait for the file to be downloaded and then play the file.

    Thanks for the reply, but shouldn't the audio play before it is fully downloaded? Using NetStream object should stream the audio, just like we have video streaming using the NetStream class...

    yep, but as the mp4 container is different then the mp3 I assume that it could be the issue.. as it runs locally but

    not on the remote location.. have a try and let me know

    Thanks for the reply. I am testing the way you mentioned to wait for the audio to download and then play it but I am not able to get how to make this thing work in NetStream class. I need to pass the URL in netstream.play() method. I tried downloading the file first using Loader and then play it but not working...

    Could it be a mime type issue?

    I don't think you can play sound files with NetStream - it is designed to stream video assets encoded certain way (see documentation). AAC applies to NetStream in the context of video.

     

    Try to use Sound class.
