Hi there,
I have a rather ambitious project where I need Multiple Bitrate Streaming from an FMS, as well as seamless changing between clips end to end.
The dynamic streaming is easy, I can either use SMIL or a DynamicStreamItem class, however the seamless back to back clips is the hard part.
Ive managed to get the seamless transition using info from this website: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_actionscript.html
By using NetStreamPlayTransitions.APPEND; I can append clips into a playlist and they play perfectly back to back with no buffering in between, but I cant seem to add multiple bit rates into this same functionality, and I need to use the DynamicStream class so it does the auto-switching for me.
Inside the DynamicStream class in the startPlay function this appears:
- Plays the streams passed to the DynamicStreamItem.addStream() method.
- If a stream is playing this call appends stream objects to a playlist.
This is exactly what I need,
However inside the function it also says:
// move this to the NetStream.Play.Start once playlist support is added
Which is a sign that this class isnt complete and doesnt in fact support playlists.
Does anyone know if its possible to create a playlist of DynamicStreamItems?
This is a fairly specific side-case of a question so I dont have a great deal of hope for someone knowing but if you know Id love some help,
thanks
Coldy
