Doesn't stream properly in flash #11

This module works great in HTML5, however in flash, you can't seek to positions not yet downloaded - it doesn't cut the moov atoms, therefore throws an error in playback when seeking further down.

Any plans to support this?

Thanks!

btmdave,

Do you know what special behavior flash requires from the server to accomplish what you are talking about? I just added a feature to vid-streamer to enable forced chunking of movie files, and it sounds a little bit similar to what you mentioned in your issue above. Does flash specify what size chunks or moov atoms it needs? What does the request object look like? I could probably adapt the chunk sizing to match the moov atom size if that data is available somewhere in a flash request.
