Problem with video info

[chrisman]

I've been having a problem with playing videos encoded with ffmpeg showing the correct information in a flash player on my website. I've tracked it down to something with ffmpeg because if I encode it to flv on my computer or just any other .flv file, it plays fine.

http://chrisjacob.us/videos/index.html is the link to an example page with my problem. If you'll notice, when you click play it shows time information as 0:xx/0:00 where the total time never changes...this only happens with videos encoded with ffmpeg.

I use this to encode videos:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.flv -ar 44100 output.flv

But it doesn't seem to work no matter what the command

try using flvmeta to correct metadata in flv files (ffmpeg doesn't handle flv metadata very well)
for example, after encoding flv video, I always use: flvmeta -Uf video.flv
