found bug on initEvent in VideoLoader

[boogie]

Hi, I think I found a bug when I try to load a video and access to the onInit event.

 

I made a simple test that you can copy and paste on an as file or a fla file:

 

import com.greensock.loading.VideoLoader;
import com.greensock.loading.data.VideoLoaderVars;

// flv works ok, see example below:			
// var _url : String = "http://cdn.liverail.com/adasset/229/331/hi.flv"
// MP4 is not OK , it si doing Two onInitEvent
var _url : String = "http://streaming.openvideoads.org/shows/the-black-hole.mp4"
var videoVars : VideoLoaderVars = new VideoLoaderVars();
videoVars.onInit(onInitEvent);
videoVars.bufferTime(3);
videoVars.allowMalformedURL(true);
// videoVars.autoPlay(false);
videoVars.autoAdjustBuffer(true);
videoVars.container(this.stage);
var videoLoader : VideoLoader = new VideoLoader(_url,videoVars);
videoLoader.load();		

function onInitEvent(event:Event) : void {
		trace("onInitEvent")
}

 

As you can see if I use the URL that has a FLV file, the onInitEvent is fired 1 time

But if I use the URL that has a mp4 file, the onInitEvent is fired 2times !!!

 

I test this isue with a previous version on greensock and with the latest version (just downloaded) and I get the same result.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

That's not a bug in VideoLoader - that's an issue with Flash's NetStream. You can verify it for yourself. It calls the onMetaData twice for MP4s and typically it has different data each time. Weird, I know. I thought about adding code in VideoLoader to ignore one of those but there are dangers involved with that too, so I left it as-is. It's pretty shocking how many bugs and inconsistencies there are in Adobe's NetStream implementation. VideoLoader works around the vast majority of them but this one is a bit trickier and it isn't exactly a show-stopper from what I can tell so I didn't get super aggressive with injecting code to ignore one of the events based on what type of file it is, etc.

I see

 

That's incredible that flash's NetStream has so many bugs.

 

Thanks for your quick replay
