Hello,

I've encountered some issues regarding the loading of FLV with Kaltura player, which only load audio.

After uploading some WMV files, Kaltura encoded them (using ffmpeg -vcodec x264). The majority can be played through the player, but a few of them can't. Actually, they just "show" the audio track. But when I download the associated FLV files, I can read them through VLC or GOM. Reading the metadata of these files, I can't tell the difference between them and the ones that work well with Kaltura player.
I tried removing the -vcodec x264 of ffmpeg, and the "reconvert" of the file now correctly load on the player. I can even reconvert it using x264, it works.

Have you ever heard about this problem? Do you want some "corrupted" flv for testing?

Thank you.

Hi Bastien,

  • Please do upload a sample flv that doesn't work.
  • And also add here the entry info you get from media.get request.
  • Can you remember anything special or different that occurred while converting for the first time?

Hi Zohar!

Thank you for your concern.

- You can download one of the incrimined flv there.
- The xml returned by the media.get is there.
- I can't remember anything special. The problem occured both via CSV upload and wordpress all-in-one video plug-in, while a friend uploaded his video. I tried to upload some of the videos many times, with always the same result. I can add the wmv file if you want.

EDIT : The wmv is there.

Bastien - it seems that both FLV and WMV are the same wmv file with different names.. did you upload the right flv?

My bad, I linked the file under "kaltura-ce/archive/data/0/0/69yj61l5xf.flv", I should have linked the one under "kaltura-ce/content/entry/data/0/0/69yj61l5xf_100000.flv".
I'm sorry, there it is.
