A universal video format for iOS and Android?

Hello
I have open the Folio that I have originally made for the iPad on a Samsung Galaxy Tab and I see a lot of differences in the way videos are played.
It seems that for the iPad I need to always use the H264 codec, but on a Samsung galaxy tablet this is not the good way to do it. After various tests I see that I must use the F4V format (which uses the H264 codec) in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5
The problem is that F4V with the H264 codec can't be read on the iPad.
Thus...
- Or there is only one method to create video files that can be read on iOS and Android and it would be great if somebody can tell me which app and which presets to use...
- Or we must always create two different video exports, one for iOS and the other one for Android.
In DPS' s user manual, this issue is not covered.
Thank you.

Well, you should also know that in addition to getting your questions answered more promptly, Adobe has top secret 'DPS Pro/Enterprise Lounges' in several major cities. These are not unlike 1st Class Lounges that can be found in airlines. You get free beer, pretzels, and free wifi.
Okay, now getting serious:
1. HAVE YOU TRIED HANDBRAKE TO ENCODE THE VIDEO? If not, stop whatever you're doing and give it a try. Conversion software is not all the same. Adobe's H.264 is better than it's ever been, but it's a pretty well-known fact that Handbrake is the BEST encoder out there for mp4/H.264. Relying on Adobe to always give you satisfactory results for video conversion is FOLLY.
2. I've read in several places the Galaxy has trouble with mp4 files. There's not a million threads with this news; actually only a handful. Nonetheless, the news is out there. I created mp4 files for viewing on a Motorola Xoom and they played FLAWLESSLY. That's the trouble with the Android platform - every manufacturer is free to mess with the code and put their own wrapper over the OS. Things get messed up, and consistency of platform becomes a problem.

BBM for iOS and Android to Launch This Summer

PRESS RELEASE TAKEN FROM : http://press.blackberry.com/press/2013/bbm-for-ios-and-android-to-launch-this-summer-.html
Waterloo, ON – BlackBerry® (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB) today announced plans to make its ground-breaking mobile social network, BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™), available to iOS® and Android™ users this summer, with support planned for iOS6, and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher, all subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play. BBM sets the standard for mobile instant messaging with a fast, reliable, engaging experience that includes delivered and read statuses, and personalized profiles and avatars. Upon release, BBM customers would be able to broaden their connections to include friends, family and colleagues on other mobile platforms.
In the planned initial release, iOS and Android users would be able to experience the immediacy of BBM chats, including multi-person chats, as well as the ability to share photos and voice notes, and engage in BBM Groups, which allows BBM customers to create groups of up to 30 people.
“For BlackBerry, messaging and collaboration are inseparable from the mobile experience, and the time is definitely right for BBM to become a multi-platform mobile service. BBM has always been one of the most engaging services for BlackBerry customers, enabling them to easily connect while maintaining a valued level of personal privacy. We’re excited to offer iOS and Android users the possibility to join the BBM community,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President, Software Product Management and Ecosystem, at BlackBerry.
BBM is loved by customers for its “D” and “R” statuses, which show up in chats to let people know with certainty that their message has been delivered and read. It provides customers with a high level of control and privacy over who they add to their contact list and how they engage with them, as invites are two-way opt-in. iOS and Android users would be able to add their contacts through PIN, email, SMS or QR code scan, regardless of platform. Android users would also be able to connect using a compatible NFC-capable device.
BBM has more than 60 million monthly active customers, with more than 51 million people using BBM an average of 90 minutes per day. BBM customers collectively send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps. Almost half of BBM messages are read within 20 seconds of being received; indicating how truly engaged BBM customers are.
Today, BlackBerry also announced BBM Channels, a new social engagement platform within BBM that will allow customers to connect with the businesses, brands, celebrities and groups they are passionate about. BlackBerry plans to add support for BBM Channels as well as voice and video chatting for iOS and Android later this year, subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play.
If approved by Apple and Google, the BBM app will be available as a free download in the Apple® App StoreSM and Google Play store. Additional details about system requirements and availability will be announced closer to the launch.
Remember to like someone's post if it was useful!

I agree, it's too bad it won't be available for WP8 right away, but hopefully it'll be coming down the road.
BBM is a really nice platform. A lot of my former BBM contacts are now my WhatsApp contacts, but BBM is more secure and doesn't use your phone number, which some people don't want available to group members. Also, I like that BBM doesn't show everyone when you last used the application, like Facebook Chat and WhatsApp do.

What I need to create and publish a magazine for iOS and Android?

Hi!
I would like to know what I need to design, create and publish a magazine for iOS and Android. I would also like to know what products I need, what price would you pay and what process I have to follow to carry out this work.
Thanks in advance!

It is NOT possible to create a Single Edition app for Android. Single Edition apps work only on the iPad.
You can create Single Edition apps using any account—CC, Pro, or Enterprise—and if you cancel your DPS subscription, these Single Edition (or single-folio) apps are still available in the App Store as long as you maintain your iOS account with Apple.
For multi-folio apps, the app container is downloaded from an app store, but the folios are downloaded from the Adobe Distribution Service. If you cancel your DPS subscription, the Adobe Distribution Service basically shuts down for that app. New users can still download your apps from an app store, but the library will be empty. Existing users can still view the folios they've downloaded, but they can't get any updates or new folios.

Adobe Reader for iOS and Android & Rights Management

This week's release of Reader for iOS and Android devices incorporates support for accessing files secured by Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management.
As you are probably familiar, LiveCycle Rights Management protects sensitive documents by encrypting them with industry-standard AES encryption and enabling central management of their access permissions. Protections persist even when documents are accidentally distributed via email, the cloud, or saved on a lost mobile device.
Many of the core capabilities that you are used to on the desktop versions of Acrobat and Reader are now supported when you are on the go on your tablet or mobile phone. We intend to incorporate additional functionality in future releases of these mobile devices and look forward to your feedback.
We've had several questions thus far about how this works. More information about the product, as well as a link to an FAQ can be found at:http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2011/10/just-released-adobe-reader-10- 1-for-ios-and-android.html

Hello Jonathan,
is there an way to trigger iOS download to immediately open using "Adobe Reader"
instead of using the default Previewer (showing an plain empty white window) and then re-open it using "Open with" ?
Is there an MIME-Type to indicate IRM-protected PDF-files?
Thanks,

Does Adobe Reader for iOS and Android Support Encryption with PKI Solution?

Hello there,
I have been searching for an answer whether or not Adobe Reader for iOS and Android can read encrypted PDF files by public key infrastructure solution (encrypted by a public key, to be decrypted by its private key pair), but to date I have not found the answer. From the Adobe web site, I understand that Adobe Reader for Android supports to read encrypted document by AES256 but it does not mention about PKI. I had to guess that it does not support encryption with PKI but I would just like to get a formal answer, and would like to know whether Adobe Reader Mobile will support it.
Thanks!
Masaya

Hi there,
Now we have Acrobat DC Mobile but I am still wondering if encryption/description using PKI solution (digital certificates) is supported. Could anyone let me know? Thank you.

Hello, I want to make DPS magazin for IOS and Android with a lot of text footnotes. There is about 200 footnotes per article. The idea is to make pop-up windows like in EPUB 3.0. Please help.

Remember you can only build an iPad app using your Single Edition solution (which is included in your CC membership). So you'd need a Pro or Enterprise version of DPS to be able to create the Android version.
You can create pop-ups in InDesign using the slideshow options and a multi-state object. But it's all manual labour so you'll spend a lot of time on this, also depending on the layout of your design.

ANE for one platform on Flex mobile project for iOS and Android

I'm very new at Flex Mobile Projects and native extension.
I have a big doubt... If I have an ANE that only works on iOS or Android, can I use it into a project for Android AND iOS?
I mean, if I want to do something and I've only found and ANE that works for iOS and another ANE that works for Android, can I create only one project and depending on the device use one or another? or should I create two different projects?
Thanks in advance

You can set them both up and when you publish just comment out the code that does not apply, this way you still keep it as one project but you can use the ANEs as needed, I had to do this with the iAd ANE only for Apple obviously and AdMob ANE which at the time was Android only.
Example
//Android ANE Code
blah blah blah
//iOS Code
code code code
Now when you publish for iOS comment out the Android related stuff
//Android ANE Code
blah blah blah
//iOS Code
code code code
Also dont forget to update your included ANEs when you publish and remove the ones that dont apply and update the XML files as needed. Its possible, but annoying, it would be nice if it was automated or could be flagged somehow so the Flash publisher would auto ignore it.

Well nothing prevent you from mixing flascc with native extension.
Also, I think that you can also use domain memory in AS3 with the Bytearray class (not sure about that).
Flascc vs normal as3 is mostly a question of language (portability) Do you want to write as3 or c++?
Native extension give you speed and native platform access(platform specific feature).
So, you should think about it this way:
AS3, run in flash and air. Is sandboxed. Can use domain memory, but it's a bit harder to leverage than flascc.
Flascc, run in flash and air. Is sandboxed, Can use domain memory. Give you the potential of leveraging the hundreds of opensources lib already out there.
Native extension, run ONLY in air. Is not sandboxed. Native memory management. Also let you leverage the c++ lib.
The best (in my opinion) is to write native code for mobile and desktop (no air or flascc involve) and use flascc for the flash/web platform. It's harder, because you have write portable native code (lots of abstraction), but you mostly have the same problem with native extension.

Best video format for mac and pc

Hello,
I recently embeded an mpeg video, flv, mp4, and swf video file to my web page. I then asked several pc users to go to my page and see if they could view the animation clips. They were were able to view all clips, but the mpeg and flv clips automatically downloaded to their computer. I don't want that to happen. The mp4 did not download, and it worked as well.
How do I stop this from happening? I ask becuase it seems flv is used by mac and pc users alike, and I think I may use said format.
What is the most widely used video format by both mac and pc users?
... should I just stick with mp4 since it worked without down loading?

Colin has pointed you in the correct direction.
I'll bet you're using just plain text "links" to your files. That method by-passes the browser plug-in and can cause issues (especially on Windows).
You need solid html code that gives the browser plug-in all of the needed instructions.
Another thing that may have happened is that your fast start files have lost their fast start abilities. This happens with any fast start file that is then edited and uses a regular "save". Save As will restore the fast start feature (even in files that do not normally have it).
AVI is dead. Do not use it.
Many WMP formats (codecs) are not yet ported to the Mac OS so that delivery container should also be ruled out.
H.264 Video codec (default in most Tiger app exports) also requires the viewing machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed.
Since not all machines can install QT version 7 (requires 10.3.9 or Win 2000 or XP) maybe you should rule it out, too.
So.
What are we left with?
Maybe QuickTime format using MPEG-4 Video codec and AAC audio?
They would only require QuickTime version 6 be installed. Since version 6 has been around for over 5 years it may be your best option.
But you're still going to get complaints from PC viewers.

Hamachi Mobile for iOS and Android (BETA)

Hi All,
I'm happy to announce the open preview of the Hamachi mobile client, a great new tool for bringing Hamachi networks into reach from an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet!
Try it!
Here’s what you do:
Log in to the preview site with your usual LogMeIn ID: https://preview.logmein.com
Add mobile clients and configure how you want them to connect.
To do this, click Add Client and select Add mobile client. Then simply follow the on-screen instructions.
Keep in mind that the mobile client is deployed by sending the required VPN settings in a configuration file via email; it is not an app you download from a store. As a result, there are a few restrictions:
A device can join one gateway network or multiple meshed and hub-and-spoke networks
There is no peer-to-peer connection from the device
Here’s a little tip: If you have connection problems, go to the Preview site > Edit Client > Mobile tab and check the Last login field for the result of the last connection attempt.
Let us know what you think at our LogMeIn.com email of Hamachi-Feedback.
PS: You may be prompted for a PIN Code when setting up the VPN. This is your Device's Unlock code, and it is not being requested by us.
Note: The mobile client is free to use during preview, but is expected to be a premium feature upon release.

Having some difficulty getting the mobile client to work. Here's my first question. Using IPSec as the protocol, the preview image of my Android config shows what appears to be the default (or top line) choice in the pulldown menu for each of the three certificate options: IPSec user certificate (blank) IPSec CA certificate (don't verify server) IPSec server certificate (received from server) Are those choices correct as shown (and should be reproduced in my config), or should the installed certificates be selected and named instead? If it's the latter, which certificates go on the user and server certificate lines? Next question: for the PPTP protocol (yes, I've been trying both), is it correct that no certificates are used and therefore none are sent in the configuration email (even though the email continues to say "open the attachment on the device to apply the configuration")? Thanks for help, -Stuart

Adobe AIR Alarm Services ANE for IOS and Android

Design a custom Storefront for iOS and Android

Hi everybody, I'm currently designing a CS for iOS based on the barebone example by Derek Lu (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/getting-started-with-v2-librar y-and-store-api.html). So I tried the sample out on iOS and it works.
Then I uploaded it to an Android App as a Library, and Im getting the Error: ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME.
Ok, so I downloaded the Custom Android Storefront from the Store Configurator and took the AdobeLibraryAPI.min.js file. I switched the API file from my iOS-Custom Storefront (Derek Lus) with the one from the Android Store Configurator.
But now the Android app doesn't show any Folios, just a white screen. I checked via remote debugging for error messages: Except "Ressource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME Type text/plain" there are no errors.
Device: Nexus 10 @ Android 4.4.4
Debugging with latest Chrome Canary on Mac (39.0.2129.0 64-Bit)

Our SDK documentation is updated and has notes for each of the APIs that are supported on each platform. You can find it at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/DPSViewerSDK-2.32/docs/library/ind ex.html.
You should just update to use the latest LibraryAPI.js and be good to go. One big difference: you are responsible for calling UpdateLibrary() on Android every time you want the library to refresh its content or entitlement info. For example, after the reader signs in with direct entitlement on Android, you need to call UpdateLibrary(). This is different than iOS.

VPN fails for iOS and Android devices

L2TP and PPTP VPN set up on OS X Server 3.0 fails when connection is made from iOS or Android device. When connecting from a MacBook Air running Maverick it all works fine. Exact same client settings are done on iOS and OS X.
When connecting from OS X, Server VPN log shows all the details. But when trying to connect from iOS and even from my Android, there is not a single entry in the Server logs that anything even reaches the server.
I checked using TCPMon and using PPTP and was clearly showing that packages were forwarded to the server. But still nothing showed in the log.

It's a known bug and will be fixed with 10.9.1 according to the Apple support.
