Not work player with flv options metadata
Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Hi,
i don't know if it's bug in script or in my configuration lighttpd, but in original link to player with flv (example: http://www.blip.tv/file/2720920?utm_source=featured_ep&utm_medium=featur...)
I can start to look a film from the middle but after the film is downloaded with cache a film always begins at first though I have checked up also a file has metadata

Snaiperb,

I am sorry for the delay. Can you please lookup the lines with NEW_URL in videocache.log file corresponding to the same video_id? I think that URL (local) will give us a clue about the problem.

Thank You!

Snaiperb,

Check the URL in the NEW_URL line in videocache.log. There is no host or IP Address and port is 8080 which is incorrect.

Please check the cache_host option in your /etc/videocache.conf file. It must be set to IP Address of your proxy server.

Thank You!

Snaiperb,

It may be a lighttpd problem. Similar problem has been reported earlier. See this.

Thank You!
