AS3 AIR FFMPEG netStream.seek issue

I’m having trouble with NetStream in AS3. The project I am working on allows users to browse a video (locally) and play it back. The issue I am having is that netStream.seek(0); from what I can tell it doesn’t do anything, although I get inside a NetStatusEvent function and NetStream.Seek.Notify is triggered. I’m using NativeProcess and the following function is this makes any difference.

public function ProgressEventOutputHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void {
    videoByteArray = new ByteArray();
    nativeProcess.standardOutput.readBytes(videoByteArray, 0, nativeProcess.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
    netStream.appendBytes(videoByteArray);
}

Am I missing something here? I am pausing netStream before using netStream.seek(0);.

EDIT:

In an attempt to fix this issue I’ve tried the following (following advise of using 2 byte arrays):

  • Moved videoByteArray = new ByteArray(); to my init function and also created tempVideoByteArray = new ByteArray(); in this function.

  • Update my ProgressEventOutputHandler function so that it no longer
    created a new ByteArray for videoByteArray and changed this line -

    nativeProcess.standardOutput.readBytes(videoByteArray, videoByteArray.length, nativeProcess.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);

I have changed nothing else and now the video will not load. If I allow a new ByteArray to be created inside the ProgressEventOutputHandler function the video does load again.
