AIR strangeness with playing video

Question

I've come across something strange with playing local video
with AIR 1.1 (FlashCS3, Windows XP)
If I use this code to play a video
// AS3
var myVideo:Video = new Video();
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
myVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("test1.flv");
If works fine if I compile for Flash 9 but if I compile for
AIR I get a error:
"Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095:
flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onMetaData.
error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onMetaData not found on
flash.net.NetStream and there is no default value."
Adding a meta data handler like this fixes it:
// AS3
var customClient:Object = new Object();
customClient.onMetaData = metaDataHandler;
var myVideo:Video = new Video();
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = customClient;
myVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("cell1.flv");
function metaDataHandler(infoObject:Object):void {
trace("metaData");
}

Ok, I've found more playing video in AIR strangeness: (Flash
CS3, Windows XP)
Run this code and make sure that "flawed.flv" is a file which
has a .flv ending but isn't actually in flv format
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var vid:Video = new Video(320, 240);
this.addChild(vid);
vid.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("flawed.flv");
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netstat);
function netstat(stats:NetStatusEvent)
trace(stats.info.code);
var netClient:Object = new Object();
netClient.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
trace(meta.duration);
ns.client = netClient;
When compiling for Flash 9 the net status event kicks in and
you get a "NetStream.Play.FileStructureInvalid"
message. When compiling for AIR nothing happens at all.
Ho hum.
