View Full Version : videoview and mp3 = silence

According to the docs as I understand them, mp3 files should be supported in videoviews. I have tried in 3.4.0 and 4.0.x, but get only silence.

With, for example:

<canvas>
<videoview id="player" url="http:music.mp3" autoplay="true" debug="true" />
</canvas>

the (swf8) debug trace returns only:

mediastream play «lz.mediastream» _flashstream null type http url music.mp3

and nothing more, which appears to be the same as for a file format that is unrecognised. With an equivalent video.flv file it works absolutely fine.

I have heeded advice to use 44.1kHz sampling, less than 160kbps, ID3v1 tagging.

The mp3 files in question play in a normal view, just not a videoview. I am finding that the normal view isn't too reliable with short (e.g. 1 second) files in particular, often glitching at the beginning or missing the end, so was hoping videoview might be better!

Thanks in advance for any advice here! :)
