VLC has Problems with Joined FLV Videos

[kaese]

There's the following problem:

There are almost no free flv joiners out there. Movica has some serious Audio sync problems with joining variable Framerate FLVs, which are the common FLVs on Youtube.
A good tool is Andy's FLV Joiner.
But, if you join such a newer FLV with Andy's Joiner, VLC is not able to play it correctly.

VLC does display the length correctly. You can also jump in the video to all parts and it plays as it should. But as soon as you let it play over a join boundary, it immediately stops playing the video in thinking that it has finished.
Well, you can say now, that Andy's FLV-Joiner must have an issue. But Andy himself says, his joined FLV-Streams are OK, the error has to be in VLC.
I personally don't know. But other players (like FLVPlayer) are able to play the joined FLVs without any problem. But I would like to play them in VLC, for it's many advantages.

Therefore my question:
Is there any possibility of a fix for this problem?
I would guess, that it would only need a very small change somewhere. For except at these join boundardies, the file plays completely OK.
My personal guess is, that it has to do with problems of the different audio/video start-/endtimes at the join boundaries.

Edit:
Btw. this is the Debug output, when VLC gets on a joining boundary and stops playing:

Right at the beginning is the suspicious "EOF reached". So it seems that due to some special reason VLC thinks the video has finished and stops playing. So I really think it can only be a small issue to correct.
The big question is: What exactly is it, that makes VLC think the video has ended? If one would know that, one could maybe also just make corrections on the FLV file itself...

[whoever]

good description of the problem, this is exactly the problem I have, too.
did you manage to find a solution meanwhile ?

thanx,

[sormint]

Still no response?

I'm having the exact same problem and would love a solution. Otherwise I have to watch these joined videos in another player and that makes me sad.

I guess the joiner program is generating an invalid FLV container.

This will be fixed in 2.0.3
