FLV and Progressive download bug

Hi
that is weird. I try to load a FLV as a progressive download.
When I test it on my computer. The video works great and I can
display the Stream totalbytes. When I test it on the web, the video
does not display, the streaming diusplay -1 and the page does not
stop loading and loading.
I use Flash 7 and yes all the doc are on the web in the same
folder as it is on my computer.
You can see the code I use
Any idea.

Tanx!
That was the bug. Now it's fixed.
Have another question. I use it with the Video not the
MediaPlayback. Is there a way to link the NetStream to the
MediaPlayback instead of my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
Tanx in advanced!

  • Flash FLV and Microsoft IIS Bug?

    I have run into a problem that may be a real problem for
    anyone relying on SWF files playing FLV files from Microsoft IIS
    servers. I have used this method of playing videos on a few of my
    clients sites and as of the last week or so these videos stopped
    playing! I know nothing changed with the videos so I was not sure
    what happend. As a spent countless hours trouble shooting this
    problem, I found that if I took the .SWF and FLV files off the
    server they were on and moved them to another server (non
    microsoft) they magically work again. At first I thought my hosting
    company had a problem with their IIS server but I checked three
    other servers (IIS) and they all have the same problem (all
    patched). Now I know these files played on all these servers in the
    last week or so. I even went as far as to check these file against
    a computer running XP with IIS turned on and running and the SWF
    file loads but will not play the FLV video. I even downloaded
    "flvplayer" to check this theory to make sure I didnt do something
    stupid with my SWF file. It appears that all my computers that have
    been patched using microsoft's update program over the last week or
    so are now broken. Is there anyone out there that can check my
    theory?

    Maybe the settings got deleted during the patch. Follow these
    directions and see if they work again:

  • CP5 and progressive download of swf using Preloader option

    Has anyone had any luck using the Preloader to specify a percentage of the swf that must be downloaded before the content starts playing? I am using the bullets.swf preloader, and specifying 10% as the Preloader %. But when I view the swf over an http connection, I get a delay (blank screen) and no preloader progress bar. Is this Preloader % only supported with certain preloaders, or is there a trick to getting it to work?
    Thanks!

    One more thing--I am opening the swf file directly. I saw in another post that someone said they thought the preloader only works if you use the Captivate html file to launch the swf. Is that true?

  • FLV and F4V encoding bug in Encoder CS5.5; anyone else has seen it?

    I am using Media Encoder CS5.5  (exact version info:  5.5.0.212 64-bit). When I encode to FLV (or F4V), I get occasional segments where the screen goes bright red with a scattering of pixel groups.  These may range from a few frames to several seconds or more.  I have gotten this bug both from loading originals generated from Final Cut Pro Quicktime exports into Encoder, AND from going directly from Premiere Pro CS5.5 to an FLV export.  I do not get this bug when I encode the same files in Encoder CS5.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

  • FLV progressive download and MediaPlayback component???

    Hi
    I have to use FLV and progressive download. I did that with
    the Video Object. That works great. The problem is that Video
    Object does not allow us to control movie volume. It does not give
    many function to control my movie. So the solution should be to use
    the MediaPlayback component that gives me many fonctions, listner,
    ... But how to make it works with a FLV that reside on the server
    but not in Streaming. I need to load it in progressive.
    Any idea.

    It's a snap with Flash 8 Pro. You just attach a skin to the
    FLV with all the components (such as volume, mute, play, and pause)
    and your good to go. Not sure how it works with earlier versions of
    Flash.

  • HTTP Progressive Download

    Hi,
    We tried to stream from FMS 3.5 flv files through HTTP,
    How can we prevent Progressive download when we stream flv via HTTP?
    We tried some configuration but it seems that files are always download to the local computer temp folder
    Can someone point to documentation that explain how to stream flv without Progressive download ?
    Regards,
    Kobi Shalom

    If you're already running IIS, there's no reason to use the included Apache installation.
    Apache isn't really an integral part of FMS, and IMO, really shouldn't be part of the FMS distribution. When FMS encounters an HTTP requests, it forwards that request to a port defined in fms.ini (8134 by default). If you need to support HTTP redirection from FMS, you could just as well use your existing IIS.
    The only benefit I see in using the included apache installation is if you don't already have an httpd server running, and you want to serve both streaming and progressive video. Beyond that, I see no reason to use (or even install) Apache.

  • Progressive Download problems

    I have created an swf, and imported a .flv using progressive
    download. Once imported, I see the video playback box and tools on
    the screen. However, when I publish the .swf, or "test movie,"
    there is nothing where the .flv should be. The playback tools are
    not even there. I have set up a button to goto and stop on the
    frame where the flv playback should occur, but it's not there.
    This is the case whether I publish the .swf to the web or
    not. And I am positive that the .flv is in the correct directory. I
    have checked the component inspector a million times, and have
    pointed to the local version of the .flv and the .flv on my server
    space.
    Any help determining why there are no playback tools on my
    pubished .swf would be great.

    Josh,
    I just had this same problem, and after many pulled hairs,
    someone within these forums was kind enough to help me, so here's
    his same response for you:
    A couple of things to check:
    If you are getting the can't find file issue while in the
    Flash development environment, I found that placing the file on the
    server, and then trying to view the file separately through its own
    URL in Internet Explorer on the machine you're developing on for
    some reason allows the Flash IDE to find the file. I guess it must
    be in some interdependent with Internet Explorer..
    If you can't access the file separately from its own URL then
    its possible your web server hasn't had the MIME type for .FLV set
    up, and doesnt allow it to be served. You can check this by
    reviewing the MIME settings:
    http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/c/engineering/archives/adding-flv-mime-type-in-iis-4198
    http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00000868.html
    In my case, it was definitely a case of the server needing to
    be updated - if you don't have access, you'll probably need to
    contact tech support, but it literally was a couple of very quick
    steps for our IT tech to make the update...
    Hope that helps - thank someone named "nick" for this tip,
    I'm just "paying it forward..."

  • What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

    Hello everybody,
    I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
    So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
    Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
    I would be very thankful for some helping information!
    Greetings,
    Mareike the beginner

    Welcome to our community
    I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
    It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
    For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
    With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
    Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
    Cheers... Rick

  • FLV Progressive Download SeekNavCue

    Hello! I have been working on this issue for a couple days
    now and cannot seem to find the resolution. I have a flash movie
    that includes three FLV files that are progressively downloaded. I
    have no problems playing them, but when I get to a certain point in
    one, I want to switch to the other, but start the second FLV at a
    certain cue point. The test works when I play from my hard drive,
    but Since the files are progressive download, they don't jump to
    the correct cue point when viewed online. Any suggestions on what I
    should try next? My code for the FLV switch is below:
    This is on the first frame (checks to see if the root var is
    set to 1, if not then it should jump to a specific point in the
    FLV):
    import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
    var pam_vid:FLVPlayback;
    if (_root.link == 1) {
    pam_vid.play();
    if (_root.link == 2) {
    pam_vid.seekToNavCuePoint(repeatStory);
    pam_vid.play();
    This script is put on the last frame (detects when the video
    file is done playing, then jumps to frame 1 and checks the root
    var):
    import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
    stop();
    var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
    pam_back.addEventListener("cuePoint",listenerObject);
    listenerObject.cuePoint = function(infoObject:Object):Void {
    if(infoObject.info.name == "cue2"){
    trace("cue2");
    _root.link = 2;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
    thanks,
    Christy

  • Progressive download flv never plays

    Using CS3
    Hello people,
    Like the title states my Progressive download never plays. Before I waste your time and mine showing the methods used I rather start off simple.
    Are there any reasons an flv might not be allowed to stream? I have followed the methods in every Progressive video tutorial I can find (about 7 so far) and they explain the exact same steps yet my flv never plays. I have also done it entirely with just action scripte and nothing. I get the player and my video list but never get the video.
    Yes, I have the Source set to the web directory of my flv in the parameters in the property inspector.
    I have also tried to use this method with other types of video and it also never plays. The only thing that works is embedd it which is of course a terrible only choice.
    Not sure this is the correct place to post this but the other choices I saw look like a worst choice than this one.

    It plays fine locally but just doesn't on the server.
    I read another post when someone mentioned something about their host being the problem which I don't understand. I stream audio no problem and have 11 websites. I have never done anything with video though until now other than Premeire and After Effects with actually editing video but no idea what the host would be blocking in a progressive streaming situation. I know my host doesn't have Flash Media Server but that's why I've been trying progressive.

  • FLV progressive download.  Keeps dropping out around 50%. Why?

    I have simply imported an FLV video of around 26 MBs. 
    In the import options, I selected download from server for progressive download.  I publish to html, upload everything where it should be (in one folder).  I begin watching the video and it plays fine, then, about 50% of the way through, the candy strip on the player skin starts flashing, even though it's still buffering way infront of where we are through the video.  Once it gets to the point where the candy strip started flashing, the video returns to the beginning and I can't play the rest of it?!  It does this in the same position each time.  I have tried downloading the flv and checking it's complete and it is so i'm confused!
    When viewing it locally on my machine, using the html file it works fine!?  I have come up against this before and can't find the reason why.  Some help on this would be greatly appreciated as it's really frustrating me and preventing me from deploying videos which need to be sorted.

    Have you tried with other browsers or other computers? It may be a problem with limited cache size or space.

  • AS2 - FLVPlayback progressive download video doesn't play until fully downloaded, and sometimes it d

    I'm loading video content paths from an external XML file into the FLVPlayback component. The issue I'm having is that the progressive download action is so inconsistent, sometimes it plays the video right away as the video is playing, and sometimes it does not play the video at all until the entire video is completely loaded. I would like to have the video play right away as the video is downloaded. I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. Any ideas?

  • Progressive download and drag

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with my Flash player and hope this is the correct forum for this query.
    I am using a progressive download (no FMS available sadly) and when I try to skip forward (by dragging the seekbar handle) to a place in the video where the video has not downloaded, then it just starts to download from the beginning again.
    For example, if I have a video of a 10 minute duration:
    - The download begins and has happened between 0-5 minutes
    - I drag the handle to 7 minutes
    - The download begins again - but from 0minutes, not 7, even though the handle is at the 7 minute location.
    Thanks.

    Yes they are separate. Progressive download does not count as concurrent connections.
