Video lost in HLS VOD

I am starting development with the SDK code of simplevideoplayer, the code of videoplayer and also the code of custom videoplayer.
I'm testing VOD HLS from an ANEVIA server (www.anevia.com), everything works fine except when I forward or rewind the episode, i lost the video and I only get audio.

This happens with some videos and not with others, and all have the same encoder process
Thanks.

Re: Video lost in HLS VOD

Sounds as though your not properly breaking on the GOP/Start Frames for the video.

Just guessing.

Re: Video lost in HLS VOD

Thats a big question. Not having any clues as to what your using to encode, segment, etc.

Thanks Shawn

I use ffmpeg under windows with the roku preset from the encoding guide of the SDK

ffmpeg-r25512\bin>ffmpeg -i air.mp4 -f mpegt
s -acodec aac -strict experimental -vcodec libx264 -vpre roku -crf 15 -threads 0
-b 1024k -bt 2048k -maxrate 512K -bufsize 4M air-5120000.ts

The segmentation is done automaticaly in the viamotion streaming server (anevia).

Re: Video lost in HLS VOD

The "big" file is doing the same thing under quicktime player, so I would say that it's an encoding/segmenting issue.
