Cannot select videos in iOS CameraRoll.browseForImage()
Well, obviously, because it's browseFor-Image-, however I -have- to have this functionality for our software and I don't see -any way whatsoever- in the documentation, via CameraRoll or otherwise to open the CameraRoll and filter for Videos.
I can use the camera to take videos. I can use the camera to take pictures. I can use the CameraRoll to browse photos already on the device and select one, but I cannot see a way to locate, display, and allow the user to select (and perhaps preview) a video for my software to use.
The ironic thing is that if I use the iOS Camera app and take video (which appears as an entity in the CameraRoll in the 'Photos' app), it uses the first frame of that for the folder preview... i.e., if I browseForImage() from Flex/AIR, when it opens the CameraRoll browser, the top "Folder" in the photo browser (named "Camera Roll") shows as it's icon a thumbnail taken from the first frame of the video I just took using the Camera App. However, if I enter that folder to see the contents, it shows only photos and not the video from which it displayed the thumbnail.
Any help greatly appreciated.

IOS cameraRoll browseForImage() opens image library popup that shrinks, different image being loaded
The app is published with Flash builder 4.6 + AIR 3.6, and the device is a iPad retina (probably 4 gen)
If cameraRoll.browseForImage() is called, the native photo library popup appears, but when an album is selected, it shrinks like in this video (both landscape and portrait):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdVcN059gtM
http://youtu.be/xyNP0DaiLAc
As you can see, it starts well but then it shrinks and the loaded image is actually the one in the left of the selected image, not to mention that some images are cutoff after this shrinking
Has anyone else experienced this or is there a fix to this?
Under iPad 1 and 2 everything is okHi reglogge, it sounds like LaunchServices:
Try this, quit any open apps, then navigate to /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxx.csstore. You may have more than one with different negative numbers. Delete all of these.
Then navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and delete this also.
Then log out and back in. Or restart. Let us know.

Logitech Quickcam cannot select video source
I have a Logitech QuickCam for notebooks Deluxe which is on the chart as compatible with iChatUSBcam. I downloaded macam(driver) and iChatUSBcam but am unable to get any other choice than "audio only" and "Screen View" when selecting "change video source" in the Video menu. iChat doesn't seem to recognize the camera (video). I can get audio from the mic.I am also able to get audio and video when macam app is open. I read that macam should be closed when opening iChat,and have done so. Any other help or suggestions please?

As for actually Video chatting, that comes after OS 9 and I am not sure if anyone has written anything for OS 9

Best approach to select multiple/all photos from the iOS CameraRoll?
I want to use FlashBuilder 4.5.1 to build a flex mobile photo organizer project that lets me select multiple photos from the iPhone Camera Roll.
I've seen the flash.media.CameraRoll class, but it only seems to provide CameraRoll.browseForImage() that opens a dialog to pick ONE photo.
Has anyone built an app that lets users select multiple photos or select all from the CameraRoll? Can you access the embedded thumbnail DB or do you have to import all the photos into the ApplicationStorageDirectory first? Am I better off writing a native iOS application?
Does flex mobile allow something like this:
// is this a security violation?
var cameraRoll:File = new File('/var/mobile/Media/DCIM');
var photos:Array = [];
var folders:Array = cameraRoll.getDirectoryListing();
for (var i:int=0 ; i<folders.length; i++) {
var files:Array = folders[i].getDirectoryListing();
for (var j:int=0 ; j<files.length; j++) {
var photo:File = files[j];
photos.push(photo);
// show photos, somehow...
However, this method does not provide access to thumbnails managed by: '/var/mobile/User/Media/Photos/Photo Database'
from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6936881/how-do-you-access-the-ios-camera-roll-from-a-fl ex-mobile-projectI paid someone to write a Native iOS app that works ok, but it's hard for me to extend. The "select multiple/all" photos component works fine, but loading the photos into the app sandbox is VERY SLOW, and not properly threaded.
I would like to move my dev to FlexMobile and am willing to contribute my current code if someone wants to take a hack at it. Please feel free to fork https://github.com/mixersoft/odesk-11563930
I'd help, but I only know scripting languages.

Cannot play selected videos on Firefox
cannot play videos from homepage or make the weather.com motion feature work. Looks like they are just looping or searching and not loading.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
Cannot select iTunes videos for sync with Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.6
Hi,
I have a Sony xperia T.
I am running Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.6 (the latest I think)
I would like to sync a couple of movies to my phone so I can take them with me when travelling, but the itunes library movies are "greyed out" and I cannot select them to enable them to sync.
I cannot see why.
Also some of my music is the same - some albums are "greyed out" and cannot be selected.
Anyone else seen this and worled out the solution ?
if so - please advise !

I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported". If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video. The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
KironHello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck! -
I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.
