So, I'm working on an application that uses the DVR
functionality of FMS 3.5, and am stuck.
The publishing side of the system is working fine, and I can
get a very simple playback working as well (by connecting to the
FMS app, attaching a NetStream to my Video object, and calling
ns.play(streamID, 0, -1).
However, I need a rich UI to control the video playback. The
FLVPlayback component looks like it would fit the bill nicely, but
I can't get it to connect to my stream. I've tried hardcoding all
the parameters via the Component Inspector in Flash CS4 to play
back a specific stream I've recorded, and all I get is a
never-ending buffering bar.
What I really need to do is instantiate an FLVPlayback
component via AS3 and attach a NetStream to it. Or, at the very
least, connect it to a DVR-enabled stream and then script some
controls (e.g. jump-to-a-specific-offset).
Is there an easy-to-follow guide to doing this, or could
anyone give me the 2-minute rundown?
Many thanks!
