Flash FLV player using PHP

After a long experiments , i have developed another player which uses XMOOV for streaming.Actually i got this php from flashcomguru.com .I didn't change the php file instead of it i developed a player using this php. The player will start streaming anywhere from the file and it also make the seeking operation in the cached file. Download Source here I have no server space so i use freewebs space ,.Pls forgive me :D The main problem of this technology is the performance of the php server.It need a good php server which can handle more requests at a time. Other problem is the encoding of the flv. Flv file should be added with the 'keyframes' metadata . So it need another utility called metadata injector ,which will inject metadata to the flv. It can be downloaded from here. That's all ..... and all other ups to you. Try this.. If you are using this file please let me know your feedback.
