JW 5.3 Thread on no file error

If a file does not exist there should be a message to the user, but due to how Wowza responds the player can't tell the difference. Any workaround for this?

You can get this info in Flash player in the NetStream onStatus handler:

This is trace output from Wowza SimpleVideoStreaming player:

onStatus: 
  level = error
  details = samxxxple.mp4
  description = Failed to play samxxxple.mp4; stream not found.
  clientid = 221923853
  code = NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound

This the source:

nsPlay.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, nsOnStatus);

private function nsOnStatus(infoObject:NetStatusEvent):void
		{
			trace("onStatus: ");
			for (var propName:String in infoObject.info)
			{
				trace("  "+propName + " = " + infoObject.info[propName]);
			}
			
			if (infoObject.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Start")
				isProgressUpdate = true;
			else if (infoObject.info.code == "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" || infoObject.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Failed")
				prompt.text = infoObject.info.description;
		}

JW Player handles this too.
