[SOLVED] stay fullscreen in flash videos when window loses focus

I am using the awesome window manager, and am trying to view web videos (youtube, vimeo, various other flash players) in full screen on one monitor while doing something else on another monitor. I have seen people post issues with flash and other web-embedded videos and awesome, but those tend to relate to the videos getting tiled or being full screen behind the browser window or something like that. I am able to get fullscreen to work just fine, except when i transfer focus to another window, it pops out of full screen. Anyone have any ideas for keeping full screen even while the window doesnt have focus? Thanks!

Figured it out. I tried doing the same in Gnome, which had the same problem. Searching for linux more in general lead me to http://www.buttonhome.org/articles/23-l … itor-linux where they suggested going into libflashplugin.so and manually changing _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to something like __ET_ACTIVE_WINDOW, which did the trick.

  • Jerky video when window has focus

    I am new to the Mac world and everything is good except for jerky video playback.
    When watching video I find that if the window playing the video has focus then the video is jerky but if another window has focus the video playback in the window with the video is smooth. This is certainly the case for watching Youtube (safari or firefox) and iTunes video clips.
    Do others have this problem

    I tried what you are describing and observed no fuzziness of the video. I had two applications open at the time and switched from one to the other. It just might be the video.

  • Windows task bar no longer auto hides when I fullscreen a flash video.

    Like the question reads, my task bar is no longer auto hiding when I full screen flash videos in firefox. Other than the obvious issue of it just being unsightly and annoying, It also causes a few other problems. One being that the computer no longer recognizes that a fullscreen video is playing so it goes to screen saver, and goes to sleep at its normally timed intervals.

    If you're using higher DPI settings, please check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" on 'firefox.exe' (=> right-click - Properties - Compatibility tab).

  • Uploading .FLV (flash video) to Windows 7 quicktime

    I am looking to load flash video (.flv) files to quicktime so I can download to IPOD. Does quicktime pro do this or is there some software that will allow me to do it?
    I do not know of another method to get them on the IPOD.
    Thanks,
    Dwamp

    Try this : http://www.formatoz.com/
    It will convert anything from, to and back again for the iPod.
    Edit : You can also simply change the extension to .mov or .m4v.
    If the .flv file contains h.264/aac then that's it.

  • How to download flash video when a flv extension is not detecable

    Standard methods for saving videos are not working for a particular file I'm trying to save. If you know of a third party app that can download flash video (where the video owner has not enabled viewing of the flv file), please help. Thanks.

    If you have set a blank Administrator password, then the install should go forward with the blank password.
    If not, then I would assume it to be a problem with your operating system.  Contact Apple.

  • When does a selection in a text field in a Finder window lose focus?

    Hello,
    this problem has emerged on account of an Applescript file that needs to access a text selection (portion of a filename highlighted) in an open Finder window.
    The bare minimum code to demonstrate the problem is this:
    *tell application "System Events"*
    * *tell process "Finder"*
    * *set selText to value of attribute "AXSelectedText" of text field 1*
    * *end tell*
    *end tell*
    other variants also exist, using "keystroke" but that does not work either. I am not asking help with Applescript here, it is here only to give a sense of the problem.
    My conclusion thus far is that the selection lose focus before the script process can access it. In the best case I get the full filename by using "attribute" and copy of the alias onto the clipboard by using "keystroke".
    So my problem is this:
    It seems that the focus stays alive when one clicks on a menubar item, any click on any other item on the desktop, including windows of irrelevant applications, changes the focus from the selection within the text field corresponding to a filename, to the filename itself.
    And my question is this:
    Is there a changeable setting within the OS that has to do with how long the focus stays alive on a selection within a text field corresponding to a filename? If yes, how do I change it?
    Thanks

    Thanks for clarifying. Never heard it called a text field, just a label. So, exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Is it that you want AS to select the file, highlight its label so you can edit/change it with some other text? If so, have you checked out the Finder scripts installed on the machine, especially the Finder script *Add to Finder Names*?
    UI Element Inspector calls the activated/editable filename a text field.
    Actually I want to modify one of the stock Finder scripts. I want to be able to select part of the file name in the active text field of the Finder window, then activate the script, *have the script pick up the selection* as a text string then use it internally.
    The bolded step is the one in question.
    Every attempt fails on the fact that the focus is lost from the "text field" and it reverts to the label for the filename, if I may use this distinction, (or to "FinderItem" in the parlance of UIEI) as soon as another process begins, it seems. So when the script becomes active, but before any of the commands is executed, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that it is not some absolute necessity but a setting that perhaps can be changed somehow.

  • How do I make my quick look persist when it loses focus?

    Before I reinstalled my computer (from 10.6 to 10.6, so no change in version), my quick look windows would stay open when I changed focus to other applications. This made it easy to quick look a PDF while typing up an email in gmail, for example. Now that I've reinstalled, it no longer works this way. I don't know what I did on the old install to make it work that way. Any ideas?

    On a hunch, I went browsing through Cocktail's interface modification features, and found this option. Solved!

  • Using web.show_document the first time makes new browser window lose focus

    Hi,
    In our application we use show_document(url, '_blank') to open our reports (as pdf) in a new window.
    Our environment is Application Server 10g Release 2 with Forms 10g Release 2 and jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
    The first time I call a report, the new browser window containing the pdf is shown but loses focus after about 1 second. The focus is then returned to the applet window. When calling a report again it always keeps the focus.
    After closing the applet window and restarting the application, the same thing happens: first report called loses focus, all others keep the focus.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? We want the focus to stay on the new browser window every time...

    Hi Jeroen,
    I m also facing a problem something similar to yours. If you got any solution please let me know.
    Problem-
    Currently my application is running on Forms 9.0.4.2 and my form calls another third party which displays the image in image viewer in new browser. When user clicks on the button to display image, then I m using the following Code -
    -- Method: displayDocuments ([Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
    FUNCTION displayDocuments(
    obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
    a0 ORA_JAVA.JARRAY) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    BEGIN
    args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(1);
    JNI.ADD_OBJECT_ARG(args, a0, '[Ljava/lang/String;');
    RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'com/hli/imaging/adapter/LK_FormsImagingAdapter', 'displayDocuments', '([Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
    END;
    Image is displaying fine but the focus is staying on the newly opened browser. I want it to get back the focus to the forms window.Is this possible ???
    Thanks in advance

  • PP CC & AE CC: Windows lose focus, AE stops playing RAM preview

    I'm experiencing very odd behavior when I have Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC open at the same time. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to troubleshoot this issue.
    Symptoms:
    I'm working in Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC and am noticing some very odd behavior where I'll be working in an application (any Windows application) and the Window will lose focus. For example, as I'm typing this question, the window will periodically lose focus, and I'll have to wait a second to start typing again.
    Another Symptom is that I'll be in After Effects CC, I'll press 0 to do a RAM Preview, but AE will stop looping for some unknown reason. It's never at the same time and it's always intermittent.
    Obervations:
    This only happens when I have both After Effects CC and Premiere Pro CC open at the same time
    With Sysinternals Process Explorer Open, I notice that CEPServiceManager.exe (Adobe CEP Service Manager) opens as a child process of Adobe Premiere Pro.exe. When this process is open, I experience the symptoms described above. When this process stops, the symptoms stop.
    I think there's only an issue when the PP CC project has a linked AE comp in it.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Windows 7 Utlimate x64 SP1.
    Open Premiere Pro CC and Create a new Project
    Open After Effects CC and create a new comp.
    Save the Project in AE CC.
    Add a solid to the comp.
    Save the comp.
    Drag the AE Comp to the PP CC project.
    Make a change to the AE Comp.
    Expected:
    Windows behaves normally. After Effects behaves normally.
    Actual:
    Symptoms occur as described above.

    - Even when video is rendered to a .Mov Lossless file the video is still juddery and appears to be dropping frames when played in Quick Time - VLC is better slightly.
    That is to be expected (unless you have a RAID setup for your computer's hard drives). An uncompressed HD file has a data rate that is much too high for your hard drive to handle. If you take that high data rate file into the Adobe Media Encoder and render it into a deliverable format such as H.264, it should play back without issue. If this is the case (and I'm pretty sure it is), this is unrelated to your RAM preview issue.
    What version of AE are you running? You say CC, but is it 12.2.0 or 12.1.0? If you haven't yet, update to the latest version; it fixes a lot of bugs.
    Also, when you say you've been using AE version 5 and 5.5, do you mean CS5 (actually version 10) and CS5.5 (actually version 10.5) or do you really mean you're using the really old versions?
    harcnowhear wrote:
    We have an older mac here which has an older card with more ram (1024 MB)  on the  card, which takes longer to render the preview (is that due to less system RAM?)
    Rendering speed usually has less to do with RAM and much more to do with the processor's clock speed. This is likely the difference.
    Is this older Mac running CC or is this the older version you mentioned in the "Extra notes" section?
    Have you tried updating the driver for the graphics card? The GPU has very little to do with rendering in AE (except for the Ray-Traced renderer, but that doesn't matter as you don't have an NVIDIA card), but it does have to do with AE's display of its playback.

  • Firefox 3.6.8 does not recognize subsequent mouseclicks - window loses focus

    After updating to firefox 3.6.8 on my macbook pro (OS X 10.4.11) Firefox fails to recognize subsequent mouse clicks. You can access the page initially, but then it seems to lose focus and become unresponsive to mouse clicks until you do something to break the cycle (clicking on desktop, minimizing and resizing window, etc). I reinstalled Adobe Flash update using full installer, since others have suggested that as a possible cause, but no joy. The browser window still does not recognize mouseclicks after an initially successful page load. You can tab to the next window (for example, if you want to enter something in search) but you cannot CLICK to enter the search window, nor can you click on links on the page, etc. It is totally unresponsive.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated Firefox to the version just before 3.6.8 -- then I updated to 3.6.8 to see if that fixed it -- it's still broken

    This started happening to me yesterday. All plugins are disabled, didn't help. All plugins uninstalled, didn't help. Downgraded to SP3, didn't help. I've also noticed this happen in Thunderbird, though it seems OK now.
    Sadly I've had to start using IE8 :(

  • Second window loses focus

    Hi all,
    I set up a navigation between two wd applications within the portal. The navigation will open a new window once the user clicks a button in the first application. The navigation itself works well, however, the new window is always shown behind the portal page, in other words, it loses focus after it is opened.
    Does anyone know a way to bring the new window to the front?
    Thanks!
    Hart

    hello thomas!
    is this problem with the losing focus when you open a second window fixed now?
    can i set the focus in a new opening window manually?
    thanks for your help...

  • Frontmost app's Main window loses focus randomly

    Sep  1 12:04:52 retina.local WindowServer[91]: CGXSetWindowListAlpha: Invalid window 0
    Sep  1 12:04:53 retina.local Dock[35334]: CGSReleaseWindowList: called with 12 invalid window(s)
    I keep seeing these in the logs when it happens. It is obnoxious to be in an app and then hear the error noise because the app I am currently working in loses focus for the window I was working with. For example in Mail, I can be working and the window will lose focus so keyboard shortcuts stop working.

    I am having the same problem, and here is what I have figured out so far;
    I installed a stopwatch application so I can time it, and it is happening exactly every 5 minutes. Moving the mouse, changing the foremost app, activating the screensaver, or anything else I have tried doesn't interrupt the timer. It will still happen exactly every 5 minutes.
    I am currently looking in the console logs trying to find anything that is going off every 5 minutes.
    It happens even while typing suddenly I will get beeping because the top window I am typing on loses focus. The application name in the menu bar does remain the same as the current application, so another application doesn't seem to be coming forward, just the top window goes inactive.
    If anyone else is working on this issue and wants to see if their problem is exactly 5 minutes also, you can install the stopwatch application here; http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/42353/timi
    I will update here is I figure out which application is causing this problem.
    The answer shouldn't be "reinstall your OS" for every little problem as Apple always says.
    Hopefully we can figure this out without having to resort to such a drastic measure.

  • Making JFrame Window Lose Focus to a Native Window

    How can i from within the same JFrame code or another class with the JFrame reference make JFrame lose focus to another native window on the desktop.
    Any tips

    In the core java API you can not make a native window take focus, you would have to use native code (JNI).
    The best you could do would be minimize the JFrame.
