rtmp + hw accel + instream clips lose video, or aspect ratio

[phloxic]

http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/instream-accel.html

No video for the instream clip. After invisible instream clip, parent clip is (sometimes) distorted and has the aspect ratio of the instream clip.

Another variant: http://flash.flowplayer.org/forum/7/104184#post-104217

The flowplayer branding is constantly visible.

I still get the bleached colors, but have given up on that.

Its accessible. The vast feed is simply not configuring ads for me.

[ViliusS]

Is the main VAST feed accessible at http://lt.adocean.pl/ad.xml?id=YVNcq97FnZQVOFPpB.AQSRlYEOMA90LfRRiDYcUChx..c7

Can you download that file and see if there are clips present in XML?

[danrossi]

It is this seems server related its failing to load the crossdomain policy file therefore no feed is loading

http://lt.adocean.pl/crossdomain.xml , i get a faillure and pending http status on chrome.

[ViliusS]

Dan, Paul said that he emailed you with details about the problem.

[danrossi]

I got the ads working, im seeking back and there is no issues with stage video placement at all i tried a few times.

[ViliusS]

Are you sure your browser/Flash/GPU supports hardware acceleration?

[danrossi]

alright sorry about the delay, thankfully it's nothing too deep. You can see when you do a seek heaps forward and ova completely cuts off all events, so the player doesn't receive any seek event which is where I re-enable stage video change events so all this can work properly. Ova is the culprit so ill have to create a work around.

[danrossi]

or get him to fix it.

[danrossi]

please try this with the event listeners disabled https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394987/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.15.zip

[danrossi]

Going to have to say I have absolutely no idea what is going on, its clearly changing the video display but isn't. This is going to take hours to find the issue with ova.

[danrossi]

doing these debug steps, including this bizarre seek back takes ages obviously each time.

[danrossi]

One thing im noticing is that the ads are not configured for stage video and I think thats what the issue is.

[danrossi]

Lets try working with that first I think.

[danrossi]

I have asked paul to configure accelerated on the ads clip config and hopefully this problem goes away.

[ViliusS]

Tried your latest ZIP with event listeners disabled. Still the same problem. Will have to wait on what Paul thinks about this.

[danrossi]

Yes once the ad is also being configured for acceleration it will hide it correctly.

That raises the question whether whether combinations of accelerated true and false work inside a playlist? The fact that accelerated is a clip property suggests it should.

[danrossi]

Doesn't look like it, though logically it should be on / off really and thats been the case with most the test casues configured on the common clip, or else it's going to make code very complicated. It will need extra code to remove the video object because it's a different system from the looks of it. So first he should be changing the code to use whatever is set on the common clip object first.

[ViliusS]

I agree. I think there is a ticket for OVA regarding inheritance of main clip properties for ads. Maybe this is related: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/ova/ticket/472

[danrossi]

Hi I finally found the time to dig into the ova code as its pretty huge undertaking to find it. The acceleration code was indeed commented out so not being added Ive notified paul and gave him a fix. Im hoping this fixes everything.

[ViliusS]

That is great news. Thank you Dan! We still need a released Flowplayer version so we can put it into production though.

[danrossi]

I can't do anything about that im afraid but we probably need to wait to find out it all works fine with ova once they change it on their end. the best I can do is compile the fixes.

[ViliusS]

Can you tell me who I must ping for the release? :) Is it Christian or somebody else?

[danrossi]

There is a pull request with a tonne of fixes, once they are in a release might go out.

[ViliusS]

Yes I understand that. But who is responsible to make that happen?

[danrossi]

https://github.com/flowplayer/flash/pull/33 please comment here if possible, anssi checks these in.

[danrossi]

paul is looking at it now !

[ViliusS]

All issues mentioned in this ticket except for one mid roll case which I've mentioned in https://github.com/flowplayer/flash/issues/44#issuecomment-10146738 at least for me are fixed in 3.2.16.

[danrossi]

closing for now
