10.5.3: CAN play .flv, 10.5.4 canNOT

i have a bunch of .flv files that would play fine in the quicktime player (i could hear the sound and scrub the video). i could play them in the app called "flash player" but it wouldn't let me scrub the files. vlc would crash when i scrubbed the files, but i could hear the sound.
this worked (playing .flv files in quicktime player) on my macbook pro without quicktime pro installed. strangely, on my desktop mac pro, which also has 10.5.3, it did not work.
i just upgraded the macbook pro to 10.5.4, now .flv files will not play sound in quicktime player, vlc still crashes when i scrub (but does play sound), the app "flash player" won't let me scrub, and i found an app called "swf & flv player" that plays sound and will let me scrub (but not always, sometimes it snaps ahead in time when i scrub).
quicktime player worked best in 10.5.4, what happened when i upgraded? why did it work on my macbook pro, but not the mac pro when using the same system?
why is this so hard to get right? why doesn't all "just work"?
thanks.

Neither OS X nor QuickTime natively allows the playback of .flv content. However, adding Perian to your system

playback. I imagine that at some point in the past, you must have installed Perian on your MBP but not on your Mac Pro.

Can play .flv on desktop but not from uploaded page

I used my F
lash encoder to convert a .wmv to .flv and FTP to my server but I cant play it. I can play it fine on my desktop but not on my web page. www.holy-trinity-schoolschool.org/index.html. I ftp'ed the Script file and the .flv but nogo.

Where is the flash on the linked page?
Did you upload the SWF as well as the FLV and HTML?
Is the server set up to serve up FLV files. There is a MIME-TYPE that does this in the server configuration. Ask the person who handles the server if you do not.

HT3523 I can play an .mov file but cannot open it to move it to another drive/disc/etc. When we try to open it, we get a message that says "The movie file for "beanmine.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."

We can play a .mov file (a full-length film created in final cut pro) but cannot actually open it in QuickTime. We get the error message saying that a file is missing, and the movie can't play properly without the file. The thing is, we can play the film, we just can't open it to move it to another drive. Help?
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?

Sounds like you created a "Reference" file here. I.e., a "Reference" file is a file that tells the player how to play the data contained in a "Resource" file. When you try to open the "Reference" file in the QT Player app, the first thing the player does is check to see if the "Resource" data file is is still available where it is supposed to be. (I.e., moving/deleting the resource file or moving reference file without moving the resource file to maintain the relative path between the two will generate the error message you mentioned.)
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
That depends. Deleting a file does not actually erase the data immediately. Instead, the operating system just tells the system directory that the space containing the movie data is available for reuse if/when needed. As time passes, the chance that some of the data sectors will be re-written by other data continuously increases. To restore the file normally requires use of a special utility that both locates and restores all of the linked sectors containing the "deleted" movie data in their correct order. Other methods of restoring files would depend on the software you routinely have active on your system. For instance, do you use "TimeMachine?" or orther software that automatically backs up your data periodically? If so, then follow the instructions for your particular application to recover a deleted file.

Cannot import audio CD, but can play! error: required disk cannot be found

cannot import audio CD, but can play! When I try to import it appears an error: required disk cannot be found!
Does someone knows a solution?

There is no such thing as a "parser plug-in".
That's not entirely accurate. In CS4 we use "EPS Parser.8BY" to assist in parsing of illustrator files. This plugin is normally located at:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Plug-ins\Format\EPS Parser.8BY"
Is this missing for some reason?

How to play flv files

My computer can play flv from sites like youtube but when I
have the file on my desktop and try to open it directly with I this
will not work. It does work with SWF files though. So, the
questions are:
- Can I get IE to play the FLV files?
- Is there a way to get Media player to play them?
- Is there a standalone player which will play them?
- Is there a way to convert them to AVI?

Hopefully Belle Refresh should shortly be available to you.

Nokia 5800 won't play flv files

I've had my 5800 for about half a year. My Software version is V31.2.101 (this is the most up-to-date version I can have according to my Nokia Software Updater)
For some reason when I try to play flv files (approx. 30-100mb), a completely white screen shows up with a "broken" flashplayer symbol in the upper left corner.
What's wrong? How do I play flv files on my Nokia?
I've read in lots of places before that the 5800 can play flv files straight out of the box. =/ mine can't
btw, I can play mp4 files, but it's a pain because I have to convert the flv files first
and I have Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 installed. (atleast that's what it says when I select a video and go to "Options" - "About application")

As far as I was aware, the 5800 didn't play FLC - it certainly isn't listed here:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5800_XpressMusic/
However, even if it was possible, it may depend on the way the FLVs were encoded - things like the frame rate could cause playback incompatibilities.

I use Perian, can't play .flv file on QuickTime.

Up until a month ago, I was able to copy video files from YouTube using Perian v1.2.3 (that's the last version they have). I have Mac OS Snow Leopard v10.6.8 and all of a sudden, QuickTime X no longer recognizes .flv video files. How do I get QuickTime to play .flv video files? I also notice I have trouble finding the same kind of files that I could use to open on QuickTime on my Safari browser using the Downloads feature under Window. I use Safari v5.1.7
If Perian no longer works, is there another application I could use to copy YouTube video files?

Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Flash Player 10.2.152.32 won't play FLV file

I seem to be having similar problems to several others here.
I am running Windows XP, SP3, 32 bit on Dell Pentium 4, 2Gigs of RAM, 3.0Gig HD.
Since the March 8, 2011 update I have not been able to play FLV files. Previous to the upgrade, I was able to play these same files.
I have checked - Shockwave Flash Object (VS 8.0.24.0) is apparently installed and enabled, although it DOES NOT show up in the file list (that I can tell at least) in the System32/Macromedia folder. It may be called something else perhaps? These are the files that show as updated on March 8, 2011.
Flash10n.ocx - Active X Control
FlashInstall - text file
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX - application
FlashUtil10n_ActiveX.dll - application extension
Files with previous dates are:
flashplayer.xpt - XPT file, install - text document - dated Feb 17, 2010, NPSWF32.dll - dated Nov. 20, 2007, and NPSWF32_FlashUtil - also dated Nov. 20, 2007.
I can play stuff from YouTube. I am able to see the Flashy thing turn on the link you supplied to others here.
My security is set to "Medium". I have had NO virus issues, and run a VERY tight anti-virus protocol with AVG, AdAware and SpyBot all active, updated either daily (automatically) or weekly (manually).
Should I uninstall and then re-install, so the SFO will be included, or is there a way to retrieve the (apparently) missing Shockwave Flash Object file on its own? This issue has now taken up my entire evening, and I am ready to PERMANENTLY delete Flash from my life!
Thanks,

Hi, you don't need to scream at me. I've been on the Forum 12 hours today and 12 hours yesterday helping users with their problems. This past week I had over 1,000 email notifications in my email account and 90% were from the Flash Player Forum.
And this:Let's try again..........arrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Please don't insult me and act like I don't know what I'm doing or talking about.
The Shockwave Flash Object is not supposed to be in the System32 ...Flash file location. It is never there. It is always in the addons of the browser, it must be since it is the Flash Player Control. Without it and without it being the correct version(which yours is not) Flash Player cannot work! I repeat, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru the browser.
The fact that you have a 32bit OS doesn't tell me anything about what browsers you use. I have a 32bit OS, but I use IE6 on one and the other PC I use IE8.
I know you checked some of my posts, I'm not so dumb that I don't recognize my own writing.
Yes, you need to Uninstall and Install again, that is the only way you are going to have the correct SFO Installed.
If you'd tone it down some, I may give you the best way to do that in order to be successful in that.
However, it won't be tonight. Maybe you'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

[SOLVED] VLC no audio, Volume stuck at 0%-5% only when playing FLV

Hello Friends,
I've had this issue for a while, only on one laptop (I run Arch on everything)... VLC will play my .FLV files, video works, playback works but no sound. The volume gets stuck and can only be changed by 5% (If VLC was running before and volume was at 60% I can change to 65 and back to 60. If VLC was closed and I open a FLV file it is always at 0% volume and will only go up to 5%).
I get the following error every time I try to adjust the volume.. Other file-types work fine.

C7: How to play .FLV files on Nokia C7

Can I ask how do you play .FLV files on Nokia C7? I searched for FLV player in the Ovi Store and nothing is returned, whereas on Android Market loads of FLV players are available.

I couldn't find an FLV player either. But you can download freemake video converter from internet. Its really a very good converter and I transfer my vids to C7 only after converting to C7 resolution because it makes the processor to do less work. If you transfer an HD vid directly to phone it will play fine but will cost u battery life. (more processor usage)

How to create a .f4m manifest files to play .FLV files

I typically use .f4v files for my on demand playback media files, however I converted a .mov to a .flv file... How do I create a .f4m and .m3u8 manifest file that plays .flv files? Below is the code I normally use for the .f4m and .m3u8 files. This works great with .f4v files. I also included my player code. What am I doing wrong? The only difference is I'm using a .flv that I didn't use the f4vpp cleaner on.. That shouldn't give me the parse error I'm getting.
022714.f4m is the name of my .f4m Flash manifest file. Below are the contents.

to create a file in appl server you have to use open dataset and close data set..
see the sample code
REPORT zanid_test MESSAGE-ID zz .
parameters: FULLPATH(128) obligatory lower case
                      default 'E:\usr\sap\put\file.txt'.
*you change the appl sever path as per your config.
DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,
        msg(300) TYPE c,
       END OF list_asc.
start-of-selection.
*---populating data
list_asc-msg = 'abcdefghijkl'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
list_asc-msg = 'faagoaagiagig'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
OPEN DATASET fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
LOOP AT LIST_ASC.
      TRANSFER LIST_ASC-MSG TO fullpath.
      CLEAR LIST_ASC-MSG.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET fullpath.
now if you go to appl server , you will find that file in that specified path..
to create a directory yu can go to transaction AL11 and click the 'konfigurieren'button, you then you can specify the directory attibutes to create a directory
and to load a file from your loacl pc to appl server you can use transaction CG3Y also, instead of the abap code.
plz rewrad points if it helps you.
