Description

Problem Description:
Video player which are based on OSMF 2.0 will struggle about misleading NetStream states when StageVideo is used and the following options are true:

• autoDisplayFirstFrame
  and / or
• autoPlay

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Setup a project with a OSMF 2.0 or Flex SDK VideoDisplay / VideoPlayer based VideoPlayers
2) activate StageVideo
3) enable autoDisplayFirstFrame and / or autoPlay
4) Try to play a local mp4 file

Actual Result:
The NetStream object will reach this states:

• NetStream.Play.Start
• NetStream.Buffer.Full
• NetStream.Play.Failed
  This happens because the VideoDisplay / video Object will switch between stageVideo and software fallback

Expected Result:
The NetStream-Object should reach this states:

• NetStream.Play.Start
• NetStream.Buffer.Full
  etc.

Any Workarounds:
Disable autoDisplayFirstFrame, autoPlay wait until the netStream is attached to the stageVideo-Object and start the playback afterwards.

By the way:
Playback via a progressive HTTP-Download is possible without any problem.
