Description

I am pulling in a FLV stream from my Security DVR. I cannot change the output from FLV. My computer shows that a 1.5Mb stream is being used for 10 sec then stops at no time did the MediaElement show the video though the CurrentStateChange Event says its playing.
I can play a FLV file fine but not in a continuous stream.

When playing in VideoLan (VLC) the stream info is
H264-MPEG-4-AVC part 10 (avc1)
decode: Planar-4.2.0 YUV

I believe the problem resides in the fact that when adding the libx264 to the FFMpegConfig.sh file for the architecture FFMpeg errors on compile that i am missing x264.h Am I using the wrong option in the FFMpegConfig.sh to have ffmpeg compiled with x264 support?

Research direction

Start with FFMpegConfig.sh and the reported build error about missing x264.h, then trace how the resulting FFmpeg build is used by MediaElement. Compare the continuous FLV stream with the VLC stream information and the CurrentStateChange event. Done means the cause of playback stopping is identified and continuous FLV playback behavior is documented or corrected.
