Air Mobile: I need to play a local video.

I'm developing an application that needs to have a video but without having an internet connection. I searched for a straight forward solution but I couldn't see a clear one.
Can I embed the video? (I couldn't, it isn't possible?)
Is it still good to create a SWF with it inside and then embed it? or it lost its quality / performance?
Any other solution?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Is the video in the local network?
Here is an example playing a video from a local path, you can create an internet path to a server or other pc.

Help needed in playing HTML ' object ' videos with formats mov, avi, wmv...

Hi,
Here is where I am at this juncture...
I have a requirement wherein I need to render an HTML text containing an '<object>' tag which embeds a video, for example:-
<object width="320" height="240"
           data="javascript/media/ABC.wmv"
           type="application/x-mplayer2">
          <param name="url" value="javascript/media/ABC.wmv" />
</object>
Now I need to render this video into my Flex Web Application.
One way to do it, as I see, is somehow extract the 'data' attribute and put it as a 'source' for spark VideoPlayer.
Is there any better way to do this?
Also note that, I require to render all video formats (avi, mov, wmv etc.) and not just flv or f4v. Any pointers for this would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you read the system requirements for this device it clearly states X.3 or higher. However, I'm wondering if this also includes X.5.1 or not .....

The difference is not between file system and internet, it is the format of the file itself that is the problem. When I run your code here, the only (significant) difference in this line..
String locator = "C:/video.avi"; .. and it works perfectly. I used the file you originally linked to on the internet (I had downloaded it to work with the earlier example - since my connection is sooo slow), so it became..
String locator = "dsr_arrow.mpg"; The problem in this case is that apparently that AVI was encoded using a codec that JMF does not support.
Check the [JMF Supported Formats|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html] page for further details of the codecs or media types that JMF will recognize.
What encoding is your AVI?

How to view local videos on iOS mobile device

How do I view local videos on my iOS device running an Adobe Air app? I know how to view the CameraRoll for iOS in Flex on Adobe Air, but the CameraRoll class only brings up photos, no videos. When I use:
if (CameraRoll.supportsBrowseForImage) {
                                                  var roll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll();
                                                  roll.browseForImage();
                                        } else {
trace("Camera Browsing not available");
The cameraRoll instance that is brought up only shows photos, no videos. Any ideas?

+1 I need this as well.
It looks like it's simply not available in CameraRoll - is support planned? What are other possibilities - File? Navtive extension?
Would AIR even be able to play typical phone video formats? From a quick search, it seems that the iPhone captures h.264 in a mov container, while at least one Android phone captures MPEG-4 in a 3gp container. I'll try transferring such videos to my computer and embedding them in a test app just to see if they play.
Thanks for any insight!
ETA: The docs for NetStream list h.264 and 3gp as supported formats. From my testing, however, NetStream does play the iPhone .mov file, but does not play the Android .3gp file. A Loader plays neither.

Playing LOCAL video with Java FX

Hello,
I'm trying to make a media player with Java FX.
I have downloaded the next example (BasicMoviePlayer)
[http://jfxtras.org/portal/pro-javafx-platform/-/asset_publisher/1Bl5/content/16700?redirect=%2Fportal%2Fpro-javafx-platform|http://jfxtras.org/portal/pro-javafx-platform/-/asset_publisher/1Bl5/content/16700?redirect=%2Fportal%2Fpro-javafx-platform]
and now I want to play a local video.
Anybody knows how to do this?
Thank you very much!

For example:
import javafx.stage.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.media.*;
var source = "C:/Movie/big-buck-bunny-640x360.flv";
Stage {
    title: "Simple Video Player"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 640
        height: 360
        content: [
            MediaView {
                preserveRatio: true
                mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer {
                    autoPlay: true
                    media: Media {
                        source: source

Multiple RTP streams + local video Player - S.O.S.

Hi guys,
I ran out of ideas, so I need your help now. It's gonna be a long one...
Given:
MediaLocator(vfw://0) --> DataSource(video) --> Processor(video)
Then I send processor's output (videoProcessor.getDataOutput()) over RTP to multiple destinations. Of course, I am using cloneable DataSources for this, cause there's no other way. So, now I also need to have a local video feed just for self-reference, but it seems to be a tough one! Let me go over what I've tried til now:
1. Using DataSource clone from video processor, I tried to create a Player (i.e. Manager.createPlayer(clonedDS) ). BOOM!
javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for: com.ibm.media.protocol.SuperCloneableDataSource$PushBufferDataSourceSlave@126c6ea
     at javax.media.Manager.createPlayerForSource(Manager.java:1512)
     at javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(Manager.java:500)
     at org.interlab.mc.media.MediaManager.setVideoProcessorEnabled(MediaManager.java:2046)

     at org.interlab.mc.call.Call.fireCallStateChangedEvent(Call.java:366)
     at org.interlab.mc.call.Call.setState(Call.java:244)

     at gov.nist.javax.sip.EventScanner.run(EventScanner.java:489)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)So i checked. If I create a clone from my DataSource(video) then Manager would return this instance:
class com.sun.media.multiplexer.RawBufferMux$RawBufferDataSourceBut if, like now, I want to create a clone from DataSource from video processor (i.e. Processor.getDataOutput()) then I get this instance:
com.ibm.media.protocol.SuperCloneableDataSource$PushBufferDataSourceSlaveHope you noticed the difference. :) Now, from the latter one neither I can create a Player nor can I create a Processor. Too bad. So, I tried another one.
2. I took my DataSource(video), created a cloneable (just like in Clone.java) and from there I finally got my precious Player! Yes!! But not so fast.... Player was working, but the rest now wasn't. Once I have my DataSource(video) cloned, my Processor(video)'s data output got starved - i could not send video anymore. What a life?! Fine... Let's try another one.
3. Just like I send video remote I decided to send the video locally in a loop, for instance, from 203.159.2.3:25000 to 203.159.2.3:25002. And what do you think? Still doesnt work!! This "loop" stream is not detected (i.e. controller's update doest sense anything). But if i open JMStudio, and start listening (i.e. open RTP session) on 203.159.2.3:25002, i get my stream showing nice and clear!
Someone, anyone, please, help! Point my nose to some document, piece of code - anything to make this work.
Kind regards.

Need HTTPService and play video in flex 4.6 Air Mobile App

We are porting a flex 3.2 app to mobile app. The 3.2 app uses mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to send XML requests for data and launch video web pages. Will a flex 4.6 Air Mobile app be able to do the same? If so, what replaces mx.rpc.http.HTTPService? I read that mx components will not work in Flex mobile apps.

HI,
Its working fine.And the mxml components which are displayobject should not be used in the mobile application except the chart.
So nothing wrong with using "mx.rpc.http.HTTPService",you can also use <s:HTTPService/>
Also there is a nice way to see which components should be used or which not for the mobile application.
Simply mouse over on the component when you have used it.You can see a message on that if that is not optimized for the mobile application like for the combobox you can see this message:-
"Adobe discourages using ComboBox when targeting profiles: mobileDevice."
While this is not the case with <s:HTTPService/>.
with Regards,
Shardul

Local videos not playing in Flash/Dreamweaver Air app

Hi there. I am having trouble playing local video from an Air app created from Dreamweaver. I have found many similar [posts, but most are about Flex and so on. I need some help getting this working form Flash and Dreamweaver.
What I did wat create a jQuery site that uses Flash to play videos. It will be packaged as a desktop Air app using the Dreamweaver Air plugin.
From advice that I got here (http://soenkerohde.com/2008/06/playing-local-files-with-air/)
I started a new Air Project in Flash as suggested. Using an Air flash app makes more sence I guess, but I still need to imbed it into an HTML framework.
Here is the code I am using:
import flash.filesystem.File;
var myVideo:Video = new Video(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onMetaData = function(metadata:Object):void {
trace(metadata.duration);
ns.client = client;
myVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
var f:File = new File("Special_Assignment_Title.flv");
ns.play(f.url);
When I run this I get the following error:
<blockquote cite="">ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.
          at Error$/throwError()
          at flash.filesystem::File/set nativePath()
          at flash.filesystem::File()
          at videoPlayer_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[videoPlayer_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:17]</blockquo te>
Any suggestions on how to fix my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Instead of using the File object, try URLRequest instead:
                                        var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Special_Assignment_Title.flv");
                                        ns.play(urlReq.url);

Hi!
Flash videos (ie .FLV files) are supported by your phone. It comes with adobe flash lite 3.0 which is based on Adobe Flash 8. Btw, are you playing the video from a the web such as youtube or you have the file stored to your phone?
Hope this will help.

I just bought an Ipad and find that it is not compatible with Adobe flash player which I need to play Bridge on line on BBO. Is there a solution for this problem?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

How to use ScaleNine themes to skin an Adobe Air Mobile App

Hi,
I'm rather new to Adobe Air development But I really like it! Now that I've created my app I would like to skin it. I've found ScaleNine (http://www.scalenine.com/gallery/gallery-1.php) which has ready made cool skins for Flex and Air. I downloaded the samples and they compile and work beautifully. HOWEVER: I can't seem to be able to use them to skin my Air mobile app.
Can anyone post an example ViewNavigatorApplication themed with one of the themes there? this one (http://www.scalenine.com/themes/blend/Blend.html) looks as though someone tailored it to my app :-)
Thanks a lot!
Avi

I don't know how your application is structured, but if you can split sections off into separate SWFs(plain AS3 document) then you could host those section SWFs online and require the user to download them on first run.
You could use the FileReference object to download the SWFs, save them to the File.applicationStorageDirectory, and then display/load them up with the Loader object when needed from the app storage directory. You would possibly need to check to see if the files are present at every boot of the app though as a user could "Clear Data" or "Clear Cache" of the app in the Settings of their device and one or both of those could/would delete the downloaded files.
