I am trying to play a flv video file in flex 4.5 with netStream byteArray. What I am doing is below:
- Creating a netStream and video object
- Attaching a netStream with video
- Reading flv file in byteArray
- Append byteArray in netStream using "appendBytes" method
- Playing video
In this scenario Play, Pause, Stop functionalities are working fine with video.
But when I am trying to seeking in video then it is not working.
You can follow the code what I am doing by clicking on the link http://pastebin.com/fZp0mKDs
Can anybody tell me, where am I am going wrong to implement seeking.
Any code sample or any kind of help would be appreciated.
I got, the code below worked in my case
// onmetadata function get all timestamp and corresponding fileposition..
function onMetaData(informationObject:Object):void
{
for (var propertyName:String in informationObject)
{
if (propertyName == "keyframes")
{
var kfObject:Object = informationObject[propertyName];
var timeArray:Array = kfObject["times"];
var filePositionArray:Array = kfObject["filepositions"];
for(var i:int=0;i<timeArray.length;i++)
{
var tagPosition:int = filePositionArray[i];//Read the tag size;
var timestamp:Number = timeArray[i];//read the timestamp;
tags.push({timestamp:timestamp,tagPosition:tagPosition});
}
}
}
}
// onseek click get approximate timestamp and its fileposition
protected function seek_click(seektime:Number):void
{
var currentTime:Number = 0;
var previousTime:Number = 0;
for (var i:int=1; i<tags.length; i++)
{
currentTime = tags[i].timestamp;
previousTime = tags[i-1].timestamp;
if(previousTime < seektime)
{
if(seektime < currentTime)
{
seekPos = tags[i-1].tagPosition;
stream.seek(previousTime);
break;
}
}
}
}
// append bytes on seekposition
private function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
switch (event.info.code)
{
case "NetStream.Seek.Notify" :
stream.appendBytesAction(NetStreamAppendBytesAction.RESET_SEEK);
totalfilePositionArray.position = seekPos;
var bytes:filePositionArray = new filePositionArray();
totalfilePositionArray.readBytes(bytes);
stream.appendBytes(bytes);
stream.resume();
break;
}
}
For inject MetaData keyframes into flv file.Use some injector tool, fe. FLV MetaData Injector

I think there is a problem in seeking of byteArray constructed after reading file. Just play you netStream directly, it works:
var fileName:String = "dummy-video.flv";
ns.play(fileName);
