Getting some errors - help requested

I am having the same problem when running flvtool2 against and flv file:

ERROR: undefined method `timestamp' for nil:NilClass

Hello,

navigate to the directory where janetest_300.flv is living, then:

flvtool2 -U janetest_300.flv janetest2_300.flv

Worked?

Ciao,
Norman

I have been using FLMDI (http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/) to inject metadata
into .flv files so the backward/forward buttons on our video player work.
This is awkward because I have to download, inject then re-upload -- but

it

does accomplish what we need.
Now, I'd like to learn to run flvtools2 on the server instead, but I'm

having

trouble figuring it out. I used the gui interface on FLMDI, so I don't

really

know much about how this works.
flvtool2 -U janetest_300.flv stdout janetest2_300.flv
but I got this error...

I've read through the examples and the past message threads but I'm not

any directions that are understandable to me. Can anyone point me in the

right

direction?

I vaguely remember running into a similar issue when I was using
flvtool2 - my issue had to do with the encoding my flvs were in (VP6
vs. the more standard Sorennson). Do you know the encoding for your
files?

Good question.
This error occurs on a quicktime file which I have uploaded through
phpmotion.

flvtool2 works with quicktime files? Or does phpmotion convert to flv?

phpmotion converts it to flv. I also get the same error if I manually run
flvtool2 against an flv file.
