[Xerte] Problems with playback of flv files

[Rochford, Thomas]

Thank you, especially for the re-assurance on the einstein video.

 

I appreciate that file size could be an issue but if were to be streamed like
the weather forecast, maybe not so bad.

 

I've now ascertained that there seems to be a limit on the frame size of 320
* 240. There doesn't appear to be a limit on the file size, so 320*240 at
1600 works fine but 400*300 at 768 with 8 fps which yields a smaller file
will not display properly.

 

Is this a technical or a software limitation? I can envisage materials where
a higher level of detail might well be appropriate. I may be asked to clarify
this point next Friday so an 'authoritative' answer would be helpful.

 

I do appreciate I am trying to push the limits but if we are going to provide
front line support for Xerte as Regional Support Centres, we need to
understand what the actual limitations are rather than those that stem from
user inexperience.

 

Kindest Regards,

Thomas

the einstein sample is mute, so you won't hear any sound.

 

Your settings will create a very big file - it might not have downloaded yet,
if in fact it has uploaded successfully, try 320 x 240 and a lower bitrate,
