Re: FLASH: realFlash???

[Neal Cabage]

Nope, we're just testing a protoype with a single stream running at a time

at this point.  I think we narrowed the problem down to a streaming issue.

Specifically, it seems as though both the swf and the rm files are

buffering, but only the rm (audio) file is continuing to stream appropriatly

from there.  The Flash file seems to underrun it's initial buffer after

about 30 secs and then proceeds to re-buffer in mid-play for about 10 secs

and will then catch back up after about 10 secs of stumbling around.  Any

thoughts as to what might cause this or a way around it?  We  perfectly

emulated the SMIL file from the example but stil ... no go.


Thanks.

Neal
