accessing totalTime property?

hello,

we have a setup where we are streaming videos with flash
media server.  some
of these are recorded from webcams, and some are uploaded
videos of various
file types and converted to flv using ffmpeg.  as far as we
can tell, ffmpeg
doesnt add metadata to the flv's, which means no duration
data.  I read that
fms sends a totalTime property with the video though, but I
don't know how
to access it client-side.  Anyone know how I can do this?

also, we are trying to target flash player 7, which means no
FLVPlayback
component.

thanks,

rich

Could you run an injector tool on the server?

inject-metadata-into-flvs

Otherwise there's also an easy way for the server to tell
you the length:
Client.prototype.getStreamLength = function(p_streamName) {
	return Stream.length(p_streamName);
}

You call this from the client via nc.call, passing the
stream name (with or
without .flv extension? I don't know, try both)
