Failed to play (stream ID: 1).

Question

Hi all, I'm trying to simply stream audio from a FCS using
akamai, I can give you the stream if necessary, but for now I'd
prefer to keep it private. I can connect
(NetConnection.Connect.Success), but the net stream then fails.
// CODE
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(oInfo:Object):Void {
trace("> nc status > " + oInfo.code);
trace("The connection code is: " + oInfo.code);
nc.connect("rtmp-stream-here");
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.onStatus = function(oInfo:Object):Void {
trace("> ns status > " + oInfo.code);
trace(">> " + oInfo.description);
ns.setBufferTime(1)
ns.play("test");
// OUTPUT
> nc status > NetConnection.Connect.Success
The connection code is: NetConnection.Connect.Success
> ns status > NetStream.Failed
>> Failed to play (stream ID: 1).
Does anyone know why I'm getting the: Failed to Play (Stream:
1).

Hi John,
Form the description of your issue (and from a short investigation) I can deduce that your assets do not have synchronized keyframes. Please try to re-encode them and force a fixed keyframe interval.
Since the switch can be done on keyframe only, and if you do not have a keyframe in the second stream at that position, the playback will stop with an error.
