Basic FLV Player questions

1. When you embed a .FLV on a .HTML page running on your
server, do you
always have to upload a .SWF player for it also?
2. I want to design my own player. Are there any limitation
as to how
the player can be designed? Could it be any size, shape,
color, etc.
3. Does anyone know of any good tutorials for designing your
own FLV player?
Thanks.

I feel dumb for having to ask this, though I do not see a
tutorial for
this on your blog.

Video / flv player question

http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaticPageDisplay?storeId=13052&catalogId= 33060&identifier=tsus2-kate-moss-aw10&cmpid=20108_15&_$ja=tsid:19907
I have a client who wants a video on their site similar to the link above. How complicated is this to do? Would I need to create a skin myself for the player. What about the player not showing until the user clicks the arrow? How does that work is that part of the player? Also will the video load fast enough as an .flv or does it need to be on a server? I assume an flv is sufficient.
The part I'm not sure of is the player, how will I get it to look exactly as I want? Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks.

You can edit the player skin if you like. There's no need to do that to get the effect that you want, however. The flvPlayer component is just a tool, you don't have to use it at all. You can load an external .flv file into a sprite or movieClip and play it as you like. Here's a tutorial on bulding the custom controls: http://www.developphp.com/Flash_tutorials/show_tutorial.php?tid=89 Caution: turn down the audio in the top video when you get to the site!
Having the controls appear or disappear is just a matter of adding that code to functions for other actions.

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac
Are you prepared to download FLV videos from YouTube, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, and many other video websites to play on your Mac or portable players, or do some further editing with certain editors? In my experience, assuming you have this idea, you must take advantage of three kinds of tools, including FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter to achieve the goal.
Of course, I am not speaking this to depress you, but to share my collections of these tools to show my kindness. Sure, just for people who have these needs.
At first, I’ll introduce you several FLV downloaders for Mac, I have tried all of them, and basically they can achieve my goal of downloading FLV videos online.
Free FLV downloaders for Mac:
Web Video Downloader for Firefox
Free Video Downloader for Mac
Free YouTube Downloader for Mac
I also know some free FLV players, and recommend them to you here, hope they can assist you to play FLV videos on your Mac smoothly.
Free FLV player, Mac OS X:
Adobe Media Player
Wimpy FLV Player
QuickTime, after installation of the Perian video plugin
SWF & FLV Player
CorePlayer
(Tip: the above pieces of software can easily be searched in Google, so I do not give you the links here. I’m sure you can get them with ease.)
Well, we have gone through the FLV downloaders and FLV players in the above passages, now it’s time to introduce you a FLV converter for Mac. This program I recommend is Pavtube FLV Converter for Mac, which can perfectly convert FLV videos to a wide range of video formats, so that you can do whatever you like with the resulted videos, such as playing on your iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, PSP, Apple TV, etc. or exporting to iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express to do further editing, or doing something else as you like. But how to use it? You may ask me. Take it easy, a step-by-step instruction is involved in the following part.
1. Download, install and run this program
A sky-blue interface will be shown to you as follow:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV files to it by clicking button “Add”, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press “Browse” to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default.
3. Set advanced settings
Click button[b] “Settings”, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. to optimize the output videos.
4. Convert
This FLV Converter for mac can definitely complete the conversion at a swift speed with excellent quality, also it do not have the problem of audio-video out of sync. Therefore you need not worry about these issues. Moreover, if you want to add watermark as your own logo or reserve your copyright, you can totally do it with this program.
Ok, the introduction to the three kinds of tools which you may need while dealing with FLV videos is over, sincerely hope they can deliver you useful information, because you know, it’s my original intention.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.

FLV player not working on website

Well recently I've been making a website, I'm recently new to Dreamweaver, and previously I had input two FLV's in two different AP div boxes. They both worked fine, but after creating a few more pages, I can only come back to see it broken. Instead of a play button with the bar, it's just a picture with the play, pause buttons all over it (attached). I'm really confused why, I don't think I edited it at all. I'm really stressing out because my projet is due tomorrow and this last problem just arises!
Thank
P.s I currently use Dreamweaver Cs6 on Mountain Lion Mac.

Custom FLV Player is Killing me. . .

Hi All
Right, where do i start - i have just spent the last 3
months learning HTML and CSS for a website that i run. We are a
video production company, and we need to have a bank of videos that
will be updated on an almost weekly basis.
I want to use some sort of flash video set up, where the main
video plays and there is a slideshow of other videos below -
wrapped up in a XML file.
BUT - I can't find any up to date tutorials on making your
own FLV player that is compatible with XML style lists. When i say
make my own FLV player, i mean i have made a skin in PS and
imported it to Flash. I can import a video that is Actionscript
controlled - but from there, all the tutorials i come across seem
to use old code that CS3 doesn't understand.
This is a big question - but any ideas?
Thanks
JP

Just set the export to Flash 8 AS 2.0 version and you will be
set. All the flv players
will work for you.

FLV Player rollOut

Hey -
Problem:
I have an FLV player that takes up the whole stage area and selected 'autoHide' for the video control skin. Just wondering how to make the video controls hide when the cursor leaves the flash file area (when it has been embedded in an HTML file). The problem is that when the cursor leaves the flash area it doesn't register as a rollOut.
Question:
Is there a piece of code I'm missing that will register the rollOut when the flash is embedded in HTML?
Thanks!

the stage has a mouseleave event:
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,f);
function f(e:Event){
//do whatever;

Prevent sound of Flv player played after Go to another frame

hi ...
i have a project , i put all my project in 1 scene
there are several frames that i put several part of my project like : about us , my works , contact us
also i have layer that i put some menu and script them to goto these pages ...
in one my pages i have FLV must be played ... now there is 2 problem
1: i have background sound played from start of my project ,,, as my flv player is autoplayed i want the background sound Stop at these Frame
2: my main probelm comes when i click in another button and Go to another page ( frame ) ... in this case i can hear the sound of FLV !! and it`s not stop !!
it will be much problem when i click on the button that goes to My Flv frame again !! so the sound of flv played double !!
what can i do about this ??
thanks

Dear Kglad
i found another threat that you answer this Question with this tip :
use the removedfromstage event to stop your video. ie, if flv is the instance name of your flvplayback component:
flv.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
flv.stop();
and it works well ....
thanks so much

Issues with basic video player. Help?

Hi all, I've been working on making an extremely basic video player for my java class at school and everytime I run it I'm getting an error. I assume it's because of the video format. I've tried avi and mpg to no avail.
The avi error is...

}This is the first time I've made anything that plays video and I took the basis for my code from this thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5269983&tstart=30 so for all I know it could be a problem with the code and not the video file.
Also, the page of supported formats would probably answer my question ( http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html ) except I don't know much about video formats and that table doesn't make much sense to me. Any help or a point in the right direction is awesome. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I am new to JMF and I can not get an avi or a .mov to play. In fact, I can't find any movie file that actually does work. I am trying VERY simple code just to get this to work. Baby steps:
javax.media.Player player = javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(ml);
          player.realize();
          java.awt.Component mediaViewer = player.getVisualComponent();ml is a MediaLocator from an url.
I get the error:

Introducing the Ginger FLV Player, the most expansive media player available!

Hi, my name is Tim Erickson.
My company just launched the Ginger FLV Player and I would
like you to take a look!
Ginger is a full XML media player that allows for the most
flexibility. All you need is a text editor to start editing the
most expansive media player on the market. You can even integrate
other languages such as PHP and JS to take total control of the
application; and everything is parsed at runtime! Ginger really has
no boundaries, and you can download the fully featured free version
to take a trial run.
If you have any more questions take a look around the site,
watch the developer tutorial videos (we are working on more!), or
shoot me an email at [email protected]
http://www.spicyapp.com/
Thanks!

Hey Dave - I don't think you're missing anything, I get the same - Adobe Media Player is just a soon-to-be discontinued product. Check here for a couple more details.
You could uninstall it I guess but it's only 3Mb, may as well leave it there. Cheers - Chris

Avoiding the delay in flv player while switching to other file

I am working on a project where basically dealing with flv player and videos, am trying to play multiple flv videos of a 3d human character who is speaking out a number like 3550.
Here we are using multiple video files and joining them like videos where character says 3 then 1000 then 5 then 50.
The issue here is after every video there is a fraction of second where the character is disappearing from the stage which we can't afford because all the numbers have to be played at once to show it as one single digit.
I know that this is not a script error but this is how the flv player plays, after one file there will be a delay to play the other.
What can I do to achieve my goal and also can how we can download all the required flv files from server to client machine to avoid a streaming delay (All the videos are of 50 to 60 kb files).
I am looking for your kind advise and will be great full to you.

Hi,
I can't merge these files because the numbers will be dynamic so only at runtime we know the combinations of numbers.

Flv player works locally but not when uploaded

Another day, another issue...
I have a flash movie that includes an flv player with previews and buttons. It reads the content from an xml file.
It works without problem when I test it locally. Trouble is when I upload it, everything displays correctly but the flv movie file doesn't play. Here's the test link:
http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.html
XML file is http://www.swsoftware.com/NCJHS/Assets/Video/video.xml
Flash file is http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.fla
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to flash and this forum has been a tremendous help in resolving my (somewhat numerous) problems.

My own built fullscreen mode flv player is not working in Mac OS

I built a flv player, it is just a normal video player with a
fullscreen mode.
The video player is work fine in Window IE, FF, and Safari.
But not not working in Mac OS X, leopard & tiger &
May I know what might cause this problem?
I m usng action script 3, flash cs3 & all my browsers
already upgrade to latest version of Flash Player.
Help!!!

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

Playing SWF files in FLV Player

Hi,
               I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
Regards,
          Sreelash.

Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
The functionality what I meant is following:
1) The client request for an swf file.
2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
              Sreelash.S.

Release the memory with stop the flv player

Hi
I have a problem with using flash component flv player. In my project, I have some buttons which every one load a movie. when click a button , at first the before movie was loading should be stoped then the new movie start. I stop the before one with this code:
flvPlayback1.stop();
      if(flvPlayback1.parent) {
      flvPlayback1.closeVideoPlayer(1);
   removeChild(flvPlayback1);
but it seams these codes could not release the memory, because after loading the next movie the memory usage will increase about 0.1G,
