I tried opening it in RichFLV, and the cuepoint names are indeed empty.

For adding cuepoints to flv, I’m using Flash Video MX Pro. It is very easy to handle. Maybe you can have a try. Here is the link.

Hi, I tried injecting cuepoints into a FLV, followed every steps of this tutorial, but when my video plays, I get the error:

Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onCuePoint. error=TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter definitionName must be non-null.

The problem is with the FLV, because I tested with other FLVs and the cuepoints do trigger without any error… I only get this error when I play this one.

I tried opening it in RichFLV, and the cuepoint names are indeed empty. They should be named “onCuePoint”. When I open other FLVs, they are all named onCuePoint…

I used mencoder to create flash files, but the header is not ‘FLV’ as expected, my files have this header:’FWS’. I don’t know enough about mencoder or flash to understand the difference - is this critical?

I manually changed the header and ran flvtool again, but ran into another issue:

good to know that one view flv meta data. The only thing not cool is that one cannot get the meta data online without downloading.

Hi Folks,

I have a question reguarding the size limit of xtradata meta which can be included into FLV file. Any idea experience about that ?

I planned to include meta information about content directly into the FLV as speech transcription or subtitles or whatever. Is this way good ?

Thanks for any answer.

Hi,Brooks
As flvtool2 can’t modify the timestamp when using the -C option. Is there any tool that could set the starting timestamp to zero or any that could merge two or more flv files to one ?
Thanks,
peterman
