VideoDisplay totalTime returns -1

[arjunender]

Hi,
my videodisplay totaltime returns -1 sometimes
here is the code:

Code:

<mx:VideoDisplay id="mp" source="{path}" maintainAspectRatio="false"
playheadUpdate="update_time();"
  ready="set_cue_points();"
  autoRewind="false"
    autoPlay="false">
</mx:VideoDisplay>

In ready event i am setting TotalTime of the Videodisplay

Thanks

You're not showing in your code where you're accessing totalTime.

[arjunender]

ok

here is the code

var dur:Number = mp.totalTime;
duration.text = dur;   

this code is in ready event

Thanks

OK, so when your VideoDisplay object dispatches the ready event, in the hander you're accessing the totalTime property, and it's -1.

(1) Check you are using the latest SDK, there were bugs with this in the earlier Flex 3 SDK versions.

(2) Access your video meta data to obtain the total duration. Register for mx.events.MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED then pull the clip length from the event.info object.

when videodisplay autoplay=true then both totalTime and metadataReceived is working but when i changed autoplay=false sometime it is working sometime it is not working.

for my project videodisplay autoplay should be true

any suggestions

Thanks

Your video download is pausing before the meta-data has completed loading... This is a side-effect of using NetStream... Are you using the latest SDK?

hi,

yes i am using 3.5 sdk

i think i am wrong with my previous post

thanks

How do you mean wrong, do you mean that the metadata is always received even when autoplay=false?

[arjunender]

i mean metadata is not receiving sometimes even if autoplay=false or true

thanks

[flexy]

Hmm, have you tried with different video content (perhaps encoded by a different encoder)?

[arjunender]

hi flexy

i will try

metadataReceived event does not fires for sometimes
is this a bug

thanks

Have you checked if it's a known issue, or raised it yourself at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira ?

[arjunender]

why video is not loading in ie7 and chrome

thanks
