The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Video pauses once audio starts on FMS 2 application

Asked by rovermedia in Adobe Flash, WebApplications, Web Servers

Tags: fms, flash, media, pauses, video

Hello.  We're attempting to deply a private messaging component on our site which enables users to send audio/video messages to each other's inboxes.  This is our first foray into Flash Media Server applications.

The app is called Site Mail (see http://www.flashcoms.com/products/site_mail/overview/  for details).

Here's the problem: When recording video with a webcam, if the user records just video with no audio it's fine when the file is played back.  However, once audio starts, it causes the playback to pause for a few seconds (2 to 10 seconds).  For instance, if I record a 20-second video and the first 10 seconds is just video it will playback smoothly, but if I start talking right at the 10-second mark the video will pause there for quite some time).

I've downloaded the flv files it's recording to the server, and the problem is with the actual files (so it must happen during the record process).  When played back locally they also pause when the audio starts.

The developer says "we've tested it on our site and don't see the problem, so it must be a slow internet connection."  I have a 10mbit connection at home (10mbit down/512 up) and the server is on a fast 2x dual-core Xeon with nothing else whatsoever on the box connected via 100mbps: it most assuredly is not the connection.

Is this a problem with FMS or the app itself?
