NS.Play.Stop before actual end?

Hey guys,

I was just doing a few tests of the different events against the dev.
version of FMS and noticed that it sends the NS.Play.Stop event while
the videos are still playing. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm
just curious to why we do all that calculations to detect the correct
time to send the NS.Play.Stop event when it doesn't seem to be
necessary at all ;)

Oh, and on this site[1], I found that you should wait for NS.Play.Stop
and NS.Buffer.Empty after that to detect the real end of a movie, so
maybe we can simplify our code a bit.

That makes sense because the server only knows when the stream ends on the server side and is difficult to estimate when the stream actually ends on client side because of the variable network latency. It appears more difficult for the server to send the NS.Play.Stop if it wants the notification to reach the client side the exact time when the stream playback stops on client side also because of the variable network latency.

So if your finding is true, it will be much easier for the NS.Play.Stop sending logic.

Anyway, I'll do some more tests and post my findings...

Joachim
