Re: FLASH: realFlash???

[Neal Cabage]

Well,


We are actually using RealServer, Basic.   It runs fine from the desktop,

but not when running through RTSP (presumably) from RealServer.  That's the

really weird part.  It runs better when we're doing it wrong ... than when

we're doing it right.


The audio file for this round of testing (and until we upgrade from Basic)

is a single rate, optimized for 28k.


It's funny you should mention buffering problems ... yes I thinks so.  The

example file that came with RealServer seems to only buffer for about 2

seconds.  From there it plays well.  Our test files seem to buffer for about

10-12 seconds and stop after 30 seconds ... all seem to buffer the same

amount of time and loose synch at about the same place; 30 seconds.  So, A

theory I have at this point is that the Flash file is not streaming after

it's initial buffered download. Is that possible?  Perhaps that might

explain why it stops streaming after 30 secs....



Thanks.

Neal
