Build MXF Video Player in AIR - Is it possible?

Hi everyone,
i'm planing to build an Air Video Player, which supports playing MXF files. (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_Exchange_Format)
I would like to use the open source c++ library freemxf (http://www.freemxf.org/) together with Alchemy (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/alchemy/) for
reading the files.
Do u think this is possible? Thanks for feedback! Jo

Sometimes voice is enough
no you can't do this,
send feedback to apple for consideration

Adobe AIR 14 video player app : windows 8+, Mac OS 10.8 &10.9, android 4+ not mentioned in Access tech specs

We're currently studying to develop a video player app using AIR 14 targeting Windows, Mac OS and Android.
Access DRM is needed but reading online tech specs (URL Adobe Access - Tech specs), there is no mention of windows 8+, Mac OS 10.8 &10.9, android 4+ support.
Can you please give us accurate information on that topic ?
Thank you.

Hello,
Sorry for delayed reply.
Adobe Access DRM are supported on those platforms.
Basically Adobe Access requirements are same as Adobe AIR requirement.
Thanks,
Hiroshi

Android Video play via AIR application is jerky

Hi All,
We are developing an AIR mobile application targetted for Android 2.2 or above. One of the requirement is to play H.264 videos on the mobile from the Assets folder (local file system). We have run in to a show stopper while trying to implement this feature, here are the details -
1. We are using OSMF that comes bundled with Flex Builder 4.6
2. Using Adobe AIR 3.1 and Flex SDK 4.6
When video of quality H.264 MPEG4 1280*720 30FPS with input bit rate 2000 is being played on the mobile device (android), the video frame rate is choppy however on the desktop it plays out fine... StageVideo is something I would like to try however, at this moment I have no access to Android 3.0 which is required for StageVideo...
What are we missing? Is AIR 3 not capable to play H.264 videos on android, though the Android native video player plays it out just fine?
Regards
Baliga

Hi,
Video encoding is very important.
For example, use baseline profile level 3.1 for H264 for mobile
(and not High profile level 4.1 recommended for desktop).
For more information, see the MAX session of Fabio Sonnati:
"Encoding for Performance on Multiple Devices"
And if you have an Android phone/tablet, there is my AIR application
to watch Adobe MAX 2011 videos :
https://market.android.com/details?id=air.fr.inway.maxVideos2011
Search "Sonnati" for this session's video.
(For info, i use a video player based on OSMF 1.6)
The pdf presentation is available on Sonmati's blog:

Apple Video Player stops working

I have a Performa 6500/225 running OS 9.1. I also have a (vintage) Apple Video Conference webcam. Along with that I have an original Apple external hard drive. I have the Apple Video Player software on the internal hard drive. For some reason it seems to conflict with a CAD program I have on the external hard drive.
I have tried the clean install as was recommended previously. The AVP will work until I retweak everything. If AVP is working properly then my CAD program doesn't.This is strange because the AVP parts are not on the external drive and the CAD parts are not on the internal drive. Doing a clean install doesn't seem to be the answer. Does anyone know of a way to work around this or perhaps another older driver I might be able to use with my Apple Video Conference cam?
Performa 6500/225 Mac OS 9.1.x

I missed the earlier discussion but this may be an extension conflict. Apple Video Player comes, I believe, with an extension that is present in your System folder. That extension will always load to some extent when you start your computer, even if you aren't actually running the application. So AVP is always running to a small degree even if the full application isn't. The CAD program may have its own extensions that may also be conflicting with AVP.
If it is an extension conflict then you may have to deal with it by using extensions manager to build two different sets of extensions for when you want to use the different programs and restart in between(yeah, a pain). Alternatively you can sometimes get around these conflicts by renaming you culprit extensions so they load in a different order (for example, by putting putting a "z" in front of one name, though that's usually to address conflicts that causes freezes at startup.
Normally it doesn't matter where you keep applications in terms of drives - that doesn't cause conflicts or resolve them. It's when they are running, or they have extensions that start when you boot your computer that causes the problem.
One other thing you could try would be to upgrade your computer OS to 9.2.2. Maybe things would run more cleanly under the newer OS. The upgrades from 9.1 would be free so there's no harm in trying.

Can you embed a video player with a tracklist with in the menu?

I'm constructing a dvd but I would like to have all the videos playing in a smaller video player with audio on the main menu page. I'd like to have a track list next to the video player within the menu so the person viewing can quickly scroll through all the videos.
It's a bit hard to explain so I drew a diagram of what I'd like to do:
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1733/test2td.jpg
Thanks for all your help!

Welcome to the discussions!
As you have found out, you won't be able to do this the way I think you are imagining is possible... DVDs just don't work the way that Flash or web pages do. There are significant limitations to prevent this from happening in a smooth manner, and as Eric intimated, you'll need to build a whole shedload of menus to even simulate the effect... and as you go through your track list and jump to each 'sub menu' you'll have to start each video clip from the beginning on each menu.
If you really wanted to you could have a whole series of duplicated sub menus that each have different clips from the same track and then use a set of scripts to select one at random so that the viewer doesn't repeatedly see the same start of a clip as they land on the same entry in your track list. Instead they'll see a randomly selected alternative from the same track.
But to even want to do this you've got to be certifiable...
Let alone the fact that each menu is a separate entity on your disc and there is no way you'll move smoothly between them as if it is one nice slick Flash movie - it'll have pauses and appear to stutter at each change.
What people tend to do instead is have a button for each of the tracks and put a video clip inside the button so the viewer can see all of the clip footage on one menu screen. A little 'old fashioned' in style, but massively more practical to achieve!

Is there a way to permanently change the default video player to VLC?

I installed the QuickTime update and now all my AVIs won't play with sound. Downloaded VLC and they will play with sound. I went to 'Get Info' on an avi and changed 'open with' to VLC and selected 'change all'. They will open and play with VLC until I re-boot, then everything changes back to QuickTime. Right now I just hate Quicktime and don't want to use it. How can I change the default video player to VLC without Quicktime changing it back when I reboot?

How can I change the default video player to VLC without Quicktime changing it back when I reboot?
Sounds like you changed it properly. The question now becomes, "Why isn't the change being saved?" Have you tried repairing your disk permissions? As to the original problem, it could be that the QT upgrade has rearranged the order of your stored codec components table called by QT. While this table is rebuilt each time the QT Player is opened, the table seems to be ordered from latest component installments to oldest. So there is the possibility that two (or more) components are allocated for playback of you AVI files and the wrong one now has priority. If you can find it (e.g., possibly Perian), you could simply remove it from the QT components folder and then replace it to again change the "build" order for the table. (Basically, you would need to run a component conflict test strategy here.)

How disable the full screen option in the standard or wireframe video player ?

I was wondering if (and how) it's possible to just disable the full screen option in the controls that appear below the video player (standard or wireframe).
I want to have a video player with the progression bar, play / pause options, the counter without the full screen option because: "When someone clicks the Full Screen button during playback, the video opens in a pop-up window. Any interaction used to transition to a new state in the application does not work."

I don't think so from within Flash Catalyst. That is all part of the component. I took a quick look at the docs, and did not see that element at as a parameter. There are only two options I can think of: either build a custom controller in Flash Catalyst (which may not have all the same functionality as the stock controller) or take your project into Flash Builder and modify the controller skin there.

Open MXF video file in QT7

I have set every MXF video file to open with the SONY XDCAM tool. I need to write a script that will open an MXF file in QT7. I cant get it to work. This code still opens the file in the XDCAM app.
tell application "Finder"
set x to selection
set y to item 1 of x
tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to open y
end tell
any ideas????

Assuming "QuickTime Player 7.app" is located in the Utilities folder, the following should do the trick:
*set theApp to POSIX file "/Applications/Utilities/QuickTime Player 7.app"*
*tell application "Finder"*
*   set x to selection*
*   set y to item 1 of x*
*   open y using theApp*
*end tell*
Hope it can help.

Memory leak in video player

Hi
We have built an Adobe AIR application, where I've defined a video player in the mxml part. Now in the actionscript I'm looping over a playlist in XML where I'm updating the source of the video player everytime the playlist starts the loop.
Now what's happening is that my AIR application is occupying more and more memory with time, and after some time when it takes up lot of memory, my app crashes. How do I flush out previously loaded video from memory, so when the next video starts previous video should be flushed out from memory, how do I do that?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Pankaj

Hi, could you provide the following information for investigation?
1. AIR version
2. OS version
2. Simplified version of your app (with source code) that can still reproduce your issue
Thanks,

Using the native iOS video player?

I would like to learn more about using the iOS native video player in my Adobe Air app.
I understand that you can launch the native iOS video player by using StageWebView.
What are some of the limitations of using the native IOS player with this method?
Can I not limit the user's control of the playback controls so the user cannot fastforward thru an ad video?
Once the video is done, can I auto start to a new video?
When the user clicks the DONE/BACK button, can I close the StageWebView?
Are there other ways to launch the iOS native player instead of using StageWebView?
Is anyone creating a Native Extension for the iOS native video player?
If you were to create an app using native iOS code instead of Adobe AIR, what can you do with the native player that you can't control using Adobe Air?
thanks!
Jack

Hi, Jack:
My answers are based on what I have done:
other than stageWebView, you can load native player from native UIWebview, and probably (I guess) directly open a video players.
If you do it from UIWebview, you can have the full access control of the video player, and interaction between Flex and Objective-c is also supported.
Regarding what we can do with the native player, I say we can do anything we want if it's loaded on the UIWebview.
Let's say 'pause', you can make your native player to be paused in the flex code, besides directly click the pause button. The simple workflow is:
Mapping 'pause' function to a objective-c function which triggers the native videoplayer pause function. One situation would be that you have HTML5 page only contains a video player, and java script functions to control the video (player pause, fullscreen etc).
Therefore, you can just call those javascript functions from objective-c.
You can also get information back from objective-c. Let's say you wanna do something after the video is finished, so the objective-c call javascript to listen end info of the video. then objective-c pass this information back to flex as an event. The Flex side catches this event and maps this event into Flex event for your use.
If there is a way to direcly invoke native player, those steps above will be much simpler, but I haven't tried. I am sure someone is doing that, hopefully they can answer you here.

Matthew

Multicast video player with FMS 4.0

The QT movie opened promptly for me in Firefox 4.0. The fact that it's intermittent for you with FF indicates that it's a connection issue and not an iWeb issue. For some reason not all of the files are being loaded by FF at those times. (The server is probably being run by an Ohio State graduate )

Note: using Quicktime for you slide presentation will exclude all those users from the dark side who don't have Quicktime installed on their PCs. You might look into a java based method for the presentation. There are lots of them out there. With the free Jalbum you have over 100 themes/skins to choose from.

TOSHIBA Video Player (released March 25th, 2015) update failed

Howdy, y'all,
On my C55D-A5381 laptop (Windows 8.1, version 6.3.9600 Build 9600, with all available updates), Toshiba Video Player 5.3.5.59 is installed. While looking for driver and utility updates, I saw that an update was released on March 25th, 2015. I downloaded the self-installer and ran it. The InstallShield Wizard named PatchProject offered 3 C++ redistributables: 2011 for x86 and x64, and 2005 SP1 for x86. I clicked Install but the installation failed:
Version of source build is not target build
Error: -2
What's wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks much.

Run the Toshiba service station, under software updates check for updates. Does any updates show up and is one of them the video player?
Mine updated through the service station.:
Changes in this update
Fixed: Title names are displayed incorrectly when "title" is selected from the right-click menu on the video window during playback of a DVD-VR title.

Any examples for loading a Flash video player into a JavaScript layer?

I want to build a web page with a button that when clicked opens up a javascript layer and loads a flash player inside that layer. And that layer would need a close button. Does anyone know of any tutorials to help me do this?
Thanks!

Similar subject discussed here:
http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=819704
follow thread down to responses by Video Man (aka Adninjastrator) for simple javascript hide/show solution.
That example needed to be launched from Flash.. so you see the big blue button.
but just as well could be launched from HTML. sample page here:
http://www.hiesequim.com/education_center_test.html
view the source code to see how the overlay and video player are positioned using CSS (#mediaspace2).
There are a number of ways to implement show/hide, so Google more more info.
Best of luck,
