Implement as example 21

Do you mean duration from the flash config?
There might be issues with users specifying a wrong duration
- specified duration too long: player would show a blank or hang for a few
seconds.
could we go directly to the video content if the specified duration in the VAST
is
too long?
- specfiied duration too short: might be desired effect.

Request also made by Greg on this:
But we tested a bit with the 0.2.1. version and found something strange.
Perhaps it is a bug?
In some cases it isn't possible to know the clip-duration of the "normal" clips.
Is there any solution, to start a video without the duration parameter like in
the older versions?
playlist = [ { "file":"http://myclip-url.flv","duration":"00:00:30" } ];

Moved to critical for next release.
Extra note - Flowplayer won't actually need duration even for mid-roll/child
clips due to the API it has - JW
Player will - so probably need to add something like:
_VASTController.requireDurationWhenSlicing = true
Need to work out what the default option is - probably true, so Flowplayer OAS
would set the line and turn it
off in the function that slices and dices the stream sequence

Oops, forgot to move to critical status - moved now.

Just a vote for this to get worked on. Thanks.

Is there any workaround for this issue that can be used right now? I have to
implement a Flowplayer-based solution with the OpenAdStreamer plugin for a site
that
has thousands of videos without the length stored anywhere.
Even a dirty hack inside the plugin itself would greatly help me out.

Right now, I can't think of anything that will work as a hack... you could try
just configuring the show streams as
a standard flowplayer playlist (as per example
http://static.bouncingminds.com/examples/openadstreamer/flowplayer/examples/all-
example43.html and
leave the duration off and see what happens).
This issue is high on my TO DO list now - I'm about 3 weeks from a release with
it sorted, but that doesn't help
in the short term...

Thanks for the quick response!
Unfortunately, using a standard playlist doesn't change anything - the shows
without
a duration are just completely ignored.
I think I'll probably have to start loading the videos in the preloader, getting
their length and injecting that into the configuration or some such horrible
thing.
Thanks anyway!

Here is my ugly workaround. A shell script on the media server uses ffmpeg to
get
durations for a defined set of files, writes it out to a file then transfers
the file
to the site hosting server. A perl script used as a server-side include on the
hosting site takes a filename as a param and returns the duration.

Hi, I'm working on this right now - trying to get it into this next release
which I wanted out this week, but looks
like it will be early next week.. Struggling a bit on it, but getting there.
Please email me at
paul.schulz@bouncingminds.com if you want more direct info ;)

Early this week is over :-)
Sorry... I know developers have hard life. Any change to get this fixed? I have
the
same problem too and there are about 20k movies withot duration.

Still working on it (literally right now) - removing the duration has massively
de-stablised the framework so it's
taking a lot of testing and fixing, particularly across the complex
configuration cases.. can't promise that it will
be out in the next few days, but it is very close. Trying to get the release
out by end this month (Feb)....
If you email me at paul.schulz@bouncingminds.com I can provide you with a test
build in the next day or two to
start testing...

The project home page shows a new release is coming very soon. Perhaps the this
update will be in there.

Yep, it will definitely be in the next release - it's a major part of the next
release along with support for linear
interactive (SWF and image) ads, new ad servers etc.
