Playing a FLV file on the browser

Hello,
I've made and extensive research on the forum about this one but couldnt resolve it here, so i've came up with my own case.
I can only make a swf video to work on a DW page using the insert/media procedure. The flv file shows as a blank window not even the player is showing.
Here is a testing version of the page: http://www.bedeco.ma/TCL.php
The script folder (swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf) as well as the flv file itself, the skin file and the flvplayer progressive file are all there in the root directory at exactely the same level as the testing page.
I've also checked that there is no space whatsoever in the files names...also the flv file is tested successfly using Adobe media player.
the swf file is working but loops endelessely so i want to add controls for the user ..and obviousely the flv format is the way to go.
Help please.

I apologize if u can not load the page, its a hosting company issue, their server goes up and down randomnly so please to retry 15mn later, it will be available. Thanks.

Safari shows "The network connection was lost" for all flv files on the internet. Firefox plays all

I upgraded to the lastest version of Flash to fix what I thought was a problem in Firefox. That problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have even installed an older version. All of these have the exact same result. Flash works in Firefox but not in Safari. I have cleared the cache. I have gone into the flash securty settings and deleted all content. Nothing seems to change this. Anyone have any ideas?

Plug-Ins are installedand keep in mindthis problem affects all 3 browsers i am using IE9, Safari5 & Firefox 19NOT a SPECIFIC browser issuewhich is why i think it's either "Flash" (Adobe) or streaming web-site (Freedocast) issue.

Standalone app (AIR?) for playing local FLV files

Can someone point me to a desktop app (Windows and Mac) that can play local FLV files?
Thanks!

I don't know about an AIR application but you could make any Flash video player you want to create into a stand-alone simply by publishing it as a "Projector" file. So create your own custom player and include your own branding in the design.
Or does this need to have a "browse to file" capability? Have never added that to a vid player so I'm not sure how that would work out.
But here is a simple little .flv video editor that I sometimes use to check out video files:
http://download.cnet.com/Moyea-FLV-Editor-Lite/3000-2168_4-10912717.html
It's a video editor, not just a player... but it's free, and allows you to open and play .flv files.... maybe a temp solution ??
Best wishes,

How to play a FLV file located in a second FMS?

How to play a FLV file located in a second FMS not directly accessible by the flash client?
- I am publishing an audio stream from the flash client to a FMS;
- This FMS then publishes the stream to a second FMS, which records the stream to a FLV;
How can I play in the client the FLV audio file that I recorded in the second FMS?
- The first FMS is accessible by the flash client, but the second FMS is only accessible by the first FMS.
thanks in advance

Anyone have Simple Code to Play an .Flv file on a Website?

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to make a web page play a .flv file.
Simple, basic code would do.
I have an .flv file uploaded on my website.
How do I get the Flash Player to play the file when someone visits the page?
Again, all I'm looking for is simple code.
Thanks,
Joe

add an flvplayback component to your swf. give it an instance name (say flv). then use:
flv.contentPath="yourflv.flv"; // for as2
flv.source="yourflv.flv"; // for as3

Play another flv file in between a flv file

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to play another flv file in between
a flv file. Say, I play flv A for 10 seconds then play flv B and
then resume back to flv A where it just stopped.
Is it possible to do this and roughly how to do it?
Thanks!

No it can't, you need SWF to load the file within.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

I'm trying to invoke EXCEL or POWERPOINT file into the browser IE 6.0. The

I'm running TOMCAT locally on my PC (running Windows NT).
I'm trying to invoke EXCEL or POWERPOINT file into the browser IE 6.0.
The output is coming out all scrambled (almost like ASCII code or something),
where it seems like the applications are not firing up.
However, an MSWord file shows up fine. So I go to the WEB.XML file in the TOMCAT\CONF
folder and notice that a MIME type has been set up for MSWord and not the other two.
I set one up for EXCEL and POWERPOINT but the XLS or PPT files still don't work.
So, just for kicks, I comment out the MSWord MIME definition but the MSWord file still worked!!!
I can't figure out what's going on here.
I'm stopping and starting the TOMCAT service each time I make changes to the WEB.XML file,
but it seems like none of the changes are taking affect.
I install all the viewers for MS-Word, ppt, and excell.
But in Netscape it works fine.

To support various file formats in IE browser while using window.open like .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, xlsx etc.,
The following code can also be used to force any format to get launch outside IE
For these first configure a filter in web.xml and then include the filter class in given path
<filter>
<filter-name>MimeFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.srk.MimeFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MimeFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.xls</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MimeFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.xlsx</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MimeFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.ppt</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<url-pattern>*.docx</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>MimeFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.pptx</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
and then include the filter class in the declared path
import java.io.*;
import java.util.logging.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class MimeFilter implements Filter {
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletResponse httpResp = (HttpServletResponse) response;
HttpServletRequest httpReq = (HttpServletRequest) request;
String fileUrl = httpReq.getRequestURI();

Can't open PDF files in the browser. I've tried every fix mentioned and it still doesn't work!!!

I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. Suddenly, I can't open PDF files in the browser. I've tried all the fixes mentioned. Nothing works!!! Checked the plugin settings, checked Adobe Reader settings.

I already fixed it. I never exited out of Firefox before deleting the mime file. it works now.

Can't get Firefox to NOT open PDF files in the browser

I would like Firefox to always ask whether I want to open or save a PDF document. Instead, it always displays the file in the browser and pops up a toolbar. In Tools/Options/Applications pdf files are not listed. However "PDF Xchange Viewer Document" (my default PDF viewer) is listed and the action is set to "Always ask"; yet it never asks. Why?

Such actions are usually linked to a specific MIME type and if Firefox doesn't obey and ask what to do then you may have created this action for the wrong MIME type.

Play two video files at the same time.

I am trying to play two video files at the same time. I create two threads, each of which has its own frame, playing button, and builds its own graph to play the file. Now everything seems works except that when the first file is being played and I hit PLAY
to play the second file, the program plays the second file but the first one is paused; furthermore the control button has no response for the first one. Did I miss anything? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?
Best,
Fayin

You don't need separate threads for 2+ playback pipelines because the filters create worker threads internally and don't block execution on calling thread.
If you decide to keep separate threads, you will have to follow Michel's advice and have message pumps on those threads.
You can also have both files in the same graph, in which case you have perfect sync between them (both start playing together in sync), however you cannot pause/stop/run files separately.
The problem you described is most likely not a DirectShow problem and is rather about generic threading, COM or window messaging.

How to compress HDV files in the browser.

I want to compress HDV files in the browser to DV 16/9 without having to drag them all into the timeline and combined and compress them all into one file.

The Sony HDV X1 camera can convert your HDV footage to a variety of DV configurations. I would highly recommend this route to avoid the system performance penalties of working in native HDV. Also the camera gives you a much better HDV to DV conversion than FCP 5 (at the moment).
The only benefit of staying HDV is if you are mastering to HD.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you.
