Description
There is a scheduling problem with Flowplayer mid-rolls on show streams that have a start time.
See examples/start-time/example06.html
13:19:31 GMT+0100: * STREAM SEQUENCE BUILT - 3 STREAMS INDEXED
13:19:31 GMT+0100: 0: key: 0, id: show-d-0-0, originatingStreamIndex: 0, baseURL: null, streamName: http://streaming.openvideoads.org:81/shows/the-black-hole.mp4, startTime: 00:00:15, duration: -10, originalDuration: 90, reduceLength: true, isSlice: true, streamType: any, bitrate: -1, mimeType: null, deliveryType: any, playOnce: false, metaData: true, previewImage: null, fireTrackingEvents: false

Tracked the problem down to this code in VASTController:
public function onScheduleStream(scheduleIndex:int, stream:Stream):void {
if((trackStreamSlices == false) && (stream.isSlicedStream()) && (!stream.isFirstSlice())) {
don't notify that this stream slice is to be scheduled
doLog("Ignoring 'onScheduleStream' request for stream " + stream.url, Debuggable.DEBUG_SEGMENT_FORMATION);
}
else {
As a result of this, the stream schedule notification is not being sent so when the mid-roll and overlays are to be scheduled there isn't a stream to schedule against.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
Actually, the problem was really here in the OpenAdStreamer class:
if(event.stream.isSlicedStream() && !event.stream.isFirstSlice()) { && (event.stream.getStartTimeAsSeconds() > 0)
because we are using the Flowplayer in-stream API, we don't sequence parts of the original show stream
as separate clips in the playlist - so ignore any subsequent streams in the sequence that are spliced
return;
}
Note the change to the conditional.
Fixed. Closed.
