I have just coded up a web based flv file download utility. When I try to download an flv file, the browser does not show a progress bar as in I do not see the time left for download. Somewhere I read that this happens if the flv file you are trying to download does not have a meta tag associated with it. So I ran my flv file through the Perl module FLV::Info and I see that meta tag header is present.

Below is an example of the meta tag I see for an flv file:

File name          0.360730744040669.flv File size          167 bytes Meta               1 event   canSeekToEnd     1   filesize         167   metadatacreator  FLV::File v0.22   metadatadate     Wed Feb  4 17:00:07 2009

Anyone any ideas?

  1. It is likely that your web server is not setting the Content-length header correctly, or something like that.

    Is your file really only 167 bytes? That seems somewhat small.
