Ok , and witch solution is used ?, as the http.startparam change according to the server used !:

* The H264 streaming module uses http.startparam=starttime for MP4 videos.
* Bitgravity uses http.startparam=apstart for FLV videos and http.startparam=starttime for MP4 videos.
* Edgecast uses http.startparam=ec_seek for both FLV and MP4 videos (presuming bytes for FLV and seconds for MP4).
* Limelight uses http.startparam=fs for FLV videos.

I'm currently using the second (Bitgravity):

http.startparam=apstart
(for FLV videos)

I haven't actually tried the others for FLV. I'll experiment with the Edgecast and Limelight and see if one of them works! Thanks!

Okay, I tried changing the http.startparam to the other two options for FLV with my first video in the playlist and got the same results. It must be something else, I guess? I have everything back to Bitgravity (http.startparam=apstart) now.

Ah, this may still be an issue with our server. We're getting it checked on. I'll update once I know! Thanks again for all your help.

Okay! Sorry for the countless updates!

Our server should be working to support pseudo streaming and has lighttpd set up.

We're still having the same problem, though.

Might it be an issue with not having the 'length' set in the XML code? Or with the FLVs not having metadata (I'm still not sure if they do have metadata or not)?

Is it something with lighttpd?

The guy at the server thinks that the http.startparam settings you listed are CDN setups, which he says our domain is not set up for.

What would be the http.startparam for Lighttpd? Do I need to change it from http.startparam=apstart?
